Flatbasset Radio: Episode #74

See, I know my destination, but I'm just not there...

Well hello again, podcast fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #74!

Happy Leap Day, everybody! In honor of this rare, yet scheduled phenomena I figured I should get my shit together and make the most of this bonus day by sitting on my ass recording a new show. Mission: Accomplished.

In this week's episode I celebrate some anniversaries, play some new local music, check in on some old Bay Area friends, lament the lack of respect for Owatonna's greatest songwriter, the sadness running through a classic beat album, revisit a single that was supposed to break one of America's great punk bands, struggle with my accents, fawn over my favorite rapper, and get unreasonably excited about my first trip to see The Boss live! All that plus the Cover Of The Week & Flatbasset Flatclassic!

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #27

(THIS POST ORIGINALLY APPEARS ON THE TWIN CITIES BLOG NEWEST INDUSTRY)

I use a walkie talkie just to get a beverage...

Hello again, free music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #27!
 
For those of you who are unaware of the Flatbasset Radio format, here's what you're looking at: TCDroogsma is our resident MP3 junkie. As you've probably noticed in his Songs Of The Week column, he's not always the most positive music fan. In an effort to prove that he is, in fact, a fan of music, we give him an hour each week to play the songs he's digging and talk a little bit about them. Once he's recorded his podcast we put it right here on the website for free to stream and/or download!

In this week's episode TCDroogsma indulges in some warm weather jams, explains why spending winter in rural Wisconsin is a bad idea, recalls the most passive-aggressive concert audience he's ever seen,  ties his Cover Of The Week & its singer together in pathos, thinks Drake deserves more credit for his work outside of music, discusses the best way to stay warm during a polar vortex, wonders just what happened to hearty Minnesotans, indulges in a Scottish set,  lays some blame at Stuart Murdoch's feet,  fails to live up to his obligations as a "31 year old, skinny, bearded white guy," impolores one of indie rock's cult favorites to reform, pays tribute to a musician who passed too young, & loses a sponsor!
