Flatbasset Radio: Episode #138 (Best Of 2019 - Live On Radio K)

 

The new world is order is like the old world order...

 

Well hello again, everybody. Time to settle all of the 2019's business here on Episode #138.

Much like Episode #137, Flatbasset Radio: Episode #138 is more about continuing a tradition than actually garnering any new listeners. This isn't to say I didn't put the effort in to making this a quality episode. It definitely is. I just know that New Year's Day 2021 is not the ideal time to be posting a best of 2019 show considering all that's gone on in 2020.

Regardless, I do take pride in the annual countdowns and this is no exception. With that in mind, please take note of the other Flatbasset Radio episodes devoted to counting down the best of Radio K

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #53 (Best Of 2014)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #71 (Best Of 2015)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #90 (Best Of 2016)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #114 (Best Of 2017)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #134 (Best Of 2018)

Also, much like the countdown of Current songs, I'm hopelessly devoted to the live in-studio sessions that the folks at Radio K post each week. I highly, highly suggest you follow this link and check them out for yourselves. They really cover a lot of ground.

It was a really deep pool of great performances in Studio K in 2019, but I think I've narrowed it down to the 10 most exceptional.

Alright, let's get to the show.

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

Thanks for listening!

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #137 (Best Of 2019 - The Current Song Of The Day)

 

Magenta, orange, acid green, peacock blue, and burgundy...

 

 

Well hello again, everybody! Long time, no see. Hope everybody is doing alright.

 I realize that it's kind of ridiculous to be finally dropping the Best Of 2019 podcasts during the fourth week of November, 2020. Truth is, like pretty much everybody, I've just been holding on for dear life for most of the year. It's been a tough run for everybody.

However, I miss doing the show and I'm nothing if not a sucker for tradition. So, before I can get to any new episodes, I felt it was important to continue the annual countdowns. I've done these shows every year since 2012 and I take a lot of pride in them.

Before we get to this year's countdown, a few links. First, previous Current SOTD countdowns:

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #7 (Best Of 2012)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #28 (Best Of 2013)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #52 (Best Of 2014)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #70 (Best Of 2015)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #89 (Best Of 2016)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #113 (Best Of 2017)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #133 (Best Of 2018) 

Of note: Flatbasset Radio: Episode #7 is posted here as a download from Archive.org because the show was "disabled" on Mixcloud. Not sure what that means, but I was so bad at doing the show back then that they probably took it down out of embarrassment.

Second, follow this link to head over to The Current and subscribe to the podcast for yourself. As you're about to hear, they give away some absolute classics.

With all of that out of the way, let's get to the show. Robot Ralph resumes his annual hosting duties and our annual tradition continues.

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 #137, just click here.
