Flatbasset Radio: Episode #76

"Tell your mother, tell your father, send a telegram..."

Well hello again, podcast fans. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #76!

Folks, it's a gorgeous day outside, so I'd like to take moment to thank you for passing up enjoying the outdoors to spend some time sitting at a computer listening to me rabble on about music.

In this week's episode I pay tribute to one of hip-hop's most underrated builders, get a head start on some of North Carolina's finest pop-punk, reprimand Radiohead for their "tour," drop an 18:00+ Minnesota music hat trick, take a quick trip across the border to Wisconsin for some guitar-based redemption, check in on those incorrigible upstarts over at Pytch Records, revisit an underrated record from the 2000's "Rock Revival," and go back 50 (!) years to celebrate one of the most important American pop albums of all time. All that plus the Cover Of The Week, Flatbasset Flatclassic, and more banter than anybody could ever want.

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #73 (Young Sandwich's Lost Winter Mix)

Playin' solitaire 'til dawn with a pack of 51...

Well hello again, podcast fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #73!

As you can see from the title up above, Episode #73 is the latest installment of my frequent collaborator Nick's Young Sandwich mixes. This one, however, is somehow even more special than his usual mixes. You see, Nick actually gave me this mix last January and, through a combination of being both somehow busy & lazy, I didn't get around to assembling and posting it last winter. Well, here we are a year later and I've been saving this one up. Honestly, it's probably his best yet.

If you haven't checked out Nick's Young Sandwich Mixes before, I highly suggest you do so. He's dropped off 7 other mixes over the years and they're all gold (all of which are available on my Mixcloud page). Not only are they devoid of my nasally banter, but they're an intoxicating mix of hip-hop, jazz, folk, and enough left turns to satisfy our internet-damaged attention spans. This Lost Winter Mix is no exception. Give it a listen.

As always, Flatbasset Radio is completely free. Just click the Mixcloud player below and you're good to go.
