Flatbasset Radio: Episode #124

I can't take it, take it, take it no more...

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #124!

It's a gorgeous Sunday here in Minneapolis. The sun is shining, birds are singing, bees are trying to have sex with them - as I'm led to believe - and I've got a brand new batch of jams lined up for you.

On this week's show we'll spotlight some upcoming shows, begin our deep dive into the Disposable America catalog, listen to some new local pop, some old local (lo-fi) pop, mark some anniversaries, listen to some pub rock, marvel at the adaptability of Bob Dylan's catalog, and revisit some of my favorite albums of my youth. All that plus the Cover Of The Week, a deep dive into Nate's Archives, take a trip in the Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and another local Flatbasset Flatclassic.

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 #124 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #96

Reached the bottom and now we're just looking forward...

Well hello again, podcast fans. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #96.

Folks, it's a gorgeous Friday here in Minneaolis, so I appreciate the fact that you've neglected your family, friends, & community to stay inside and listen to me mumble through another show.

This marks three straight Fridays with a new show which, for a purportedly "weekly" show shouldn't be much of an accomplishment, but if you've been following along you know just how rare it is that I get my shit together for three straight weeks.

This week's show if full of jams. Local music, indie rock, hip-hop collectives, classic punk, some anniversaries, some power-pop, some big, dumb, rock music, the Cover Of The Week, & the Flatbasset Flatclassic. Along the way we discuss why I should probably avoid talking politics on the show, prog or not-prog, indie rock in a post-Vampire-Weekend world, shoegaze of the Far East, the worst substitute for Conference Final hockey, some upcoming concerts, the low point of one of America's great pop-punk bands, and the greatest song in the history of mankind. Good stuff, for sure.

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 #96 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #58

Don't be sad at all...

Well hello again, pseudo-radio fans!  Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #58!

That's right, for the first time in as long as I can remember I managed to actually post two episodes a week apart.  I feel like you owe it to me to give this one a listen.

I'm flying solo yet again this week (long story), but I still managed to complain about the NHL playoffs, wonder about my dog's actions, fall for a rapper's (possibly false) back story, struggle with my French accent, begin the healing process with America's largest purveyor of exceptionally addictive coffee, rail against this "May the fourth be with you" crap, make a case for 2015 as one of the greatest music years ever, reintroduce Sweden's greatest hardcore band, revisit a classic from my teenage years, celebrate the redemptive power of loud guitars, and remember how ridiculous I was in my 20's.  All that plus the Cover Of The Week & the Flatbasset Flatclassic!
