Flatbasset Radio: Episode #119

You can see the shadows wandering off somewhere...

Well hello again, everybody! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #119!

Oh my goodness, folks, it's been a minute. How have you been? Feeling alright? It's spring, the sun is shining, St. Patrick's Day is behind us, Facebook is crumbling... What a time to be alive, right?

Anyway, sorry I was away for a few weeks. At this point you know my litany of excuses better than I do so I won't bother rehashing them here. Let's just get to the show.

On this week's episode I've got all kinds of sweet, sweet jams for you. We begin what I'm sure will be a rich & rewarding journey into the Father/Daughter Records catalog, check in with one of the Twin Cities longest-running indie rockers, here some Denver Rap, catch a warm weather jam (in the name of spring), revisit one of the best debut albums by a Twin Cities band of the last 20 years, celebrate a few anniversaries, take a dive into Nate's Archives, take a trip in the old Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and mark the 20th anniversary of a link in the chain that is quintessentially American power-pop. It's a hell of a show, folks.

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

Flatbasset Radio's 50 Most Played Albums: January '15

Hello again, everybody.  February is upon us and, if you haven't noticed, it's fucking frigid outside.  I blame that goddamn Punxsutawney Phil.  Can't be too mad, though.  Clearly that shadow-seeing rodent knows his shit.

Anyway, like I always do at the start of the month, it's time to take a look back at the 50 Most Played Albums around Planet New Basset.

As always, you can keep up with what's being played here in real time by checking out my Last.fm page, though honestly, I have no idea why you would want to do that.  Frankly, I'm not even sure why you're still reading this.  Whatever. It's your life.
