Flatbasset Radio: Episode #105


I could own her, that crazy loner...


Well hello again, everybody, and welcome back to your regularly scheduled program.

Before we get going here, big thanks to everybody who checked out the last couple of themed episodes. I love doing both the Canada Day show and the American Album Hall Of Fame show, so thank you for indulging me on those.

This week, however, it's back to work. Episode #105 is a show packed with jams. Some local bands, some national bands, a couple of throwbacks, some upcoming shows, some anniversaries, the Cover Of The Week and, of course, the Flatbasset Flatclassic.

Along the way we discuss the best place to meet middle-aged losers, listening to Prince without devolving into reverie, some reunited punk rockers, a knight and his all-American backing band, nostalgia strewn across St. Paul, art and its curious relationship with expectations, Ryan Adams catalogue, some damn fine music journalism, and one of the great Minnesota songs not written by a Minnesota artist.

As always, Flatbasset Radio is completely free. I've finally set up a decent downloading site, so if you'd like to download Flatbasset Radio: Episode #105 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.
