Flatbasset Radio: Episode #103 (Canada Day Special!)

Something told me it'll work out...

Well hello again, everybody! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #103!

As you can probably tell from the title of this week's show and the flag-draped banner at the top of the post, Flatbasset Radio: Episode #103 is an extra special edition of the show. That's right, folks, it's our annual Canada Day Special!

Making this year's show even more important: July 1st, 2017 marks Canada's Sesquicentennial! That's right, folks, it's been 150 years since Canada officially told England, "We're sorry, but we'd like to be our own country now, if that's OK. Sorry." Good on ya, Canada.

To mark the occasion, I've got 12 jams lined up to celebrate some of the great music that's come from our brothers & sisters to the north. From Abbotsford to Halifax and back again. I've got a little hip-hop, our mid-show electronic break, a few anniversaries, the Cover Of The Week, the Flatbasset Flatclassic, and more power-pop than any show before this. Seriously, it think, after maple syrup, left-hand shot defensemen, and sweet, sweet crude oil, power-pop is probably Canada's most valuable resource.

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

Newest Industry Presents - Flatbasset Radio: Episode #40 (Canada Day Special!)

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

Are you drunk right now?

Hello, podcast fans!  Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #40!

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!

Folks, it's Canada Day!  To celebrate TCDroogsma made his way over to St. Paul to record an all Canada themed podcast with MinneSarah!  After indulging in Labatt's & poutine, they discuss what constitutes a "cover," whether or not there's still a Cheapo Records in St. Paul, Buffalo Wild Wings, the stereotype that Canada is "charmingly vanilla," Canadian "independence," the politeness of Canadian ferry captains, trying to find the Twin Cities hardcore scene in British Columbia, Drake's anonymity among the over 30 crowd, the Vancouver sports scene, drinking on ferries, and the lasting influence of one of Canada's great bands!  All that plus the Cover Of The Week & Flatbasset Flatclassic!

You can download the podcast for free by clicking the episode's title or stream the episode by clicking on the Mixcloud player below.
