Flatbasset Radio's 25 Most Played Albums: August '18


Rabbit Rabbit!

It's the first of the month, which means it's time for yet another edition of Album Collage Quarterly!

Before I get to the album I'd like to note that I did in fact take the last six weeks off from the podcast. Instead of my usual apology for being inconsistent I'm just going to say that I needed to take a little break from the show. Yes, there are long gaps between shows frequently. However, usually when that happens I intend to do the show. As such, it's a burden that weighs on me whenever I have free time.  This time around I just conceded that I needed to put it out of mind for the rest of the summer.

That said, I intend to be back at it again starting this Friday. Hopefully all five of my listeners will come back with me.

Alright, let's get to the thing.

As always, one "play" equals one song. For example, the new Deleter album has 14 songs on it, so each time I listen to it front to back it counts as fourteen "plays." As usual, all stats come from my Last.FM page. Give it a follow if you really want to stay up on what's getting the most plays.


01. The Sevateem - The Caves (112 plays)

02. Phantom Tails - Compass EP's (77 plays)

03. Tights - Heels (70 plays)
