Flatbasset Radio: Episode #118

Can you squeeze me into an empty page of your diary?

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #118!

That's right, folks, it's Flatbasset Friday and oh boy to I have a show lined up for you. It's been a crazy week here in snowy Minneapolis, but it's Friday and I was dead set on getting this show to all my loyal listeners (hi, Mom!).

This week's episode is stuffed to the gills with jams and banter. Lots of things to say about the stuff (or, conversely, stuff to say about the things). Along the way I tell a story about my terrible apartment building, build a bridge between Flatbasset Radio & Disney (finally!), spotlight an artist who spent some time in the margins of a past episode, find the Twin Cities answer to The Dandy Warhols, spend some time with angry Canadians, spend some time with handsome Canadians, take a peek under the hood of one of my local groups, and spotlight a bunch of great upcoming shows. Along the way we take a dive into Nate's Archives, check out the Cover Of The Week, take a trip in the Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and, as always, revisit an absolutely stellar 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 #118 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.

Flatbasset Radio's 25 Most Played Albums: June '17

Well, folks, another month's past. With July upon us, it's time to take a look back at which albums were getting the most spins here at Planet New Basset over June, 2017.

Sorry I'm a couple days late with this post. The Canada Day show always conflicts with posting this one on the first of July and honestly, I was just lazy yesterday, so here we are. Big thanks to everybody who's checked out that Canada Day show, though. It's one of my favorite episodes to record each year.

Alright, let's get to the thing.

(As always, one "play" equals one song. For example, that new Mux Mool album has 10 songs on it, so each time I listen to it front to back it counts as ten "plays." As usual, all stats come from my Last.FM page. Give it a follow if you really want to stay up on what's getting the most plays.)

01. Mux Mool - Implied Lines (Deluxe) (70 plays)

02. V/A - ECS 108: Heavy Future (A Compilation) (56 plays)

03. Allan Kingdom - Lines (56 plays)
