Flatbasset Radio: Episode #68

Someday you will find me caught beneath the landslide...

Well hello again, podcast fans. Welcome to Episode #68 of the Flatbasset Radio show!

Thanks for stopping by this week, devoted listener(s). I'm coming down with a cold this week and I figured staying inside and playing some jams would be the best way to cope with it. If I have to live with this messed up voice then so do you!

In this week's show I play some jams and talk about being sick, our old friends in Nashville, some new local hip-hop from some not-so-new artists, explain just how late to the party I was on one of the Twin Cities best bands, revisit last week's "good shoegaze vs. bad shoegaze" discussion, scratch my experimental electro-jazz itch, celebrate Sweden's greatest pop-punk export, reminisce about old St. Paul record stores, & give some winter advice.  All that plus coughing and all the popped "P's" you could ever want!

Of course I also celebrate some anniversaries, get in a Cover Of The Week, and take a trip back to an iconic single for the Flatbasset Flatclassic.

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #67

We talkin' 'bout practice...

Well hello again, podcast fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #67!

Folks, everything's terrible. It's been a tough week for people everywhere around the world and, if you're anything like me, you're exhausted. In that spirit, let's all take an hour long break from the real world and listen to some jams.

In this week's episode I try to press through the sadness while sitting in the dark discussing spelling in hip-hop, getting lost in electronics, loud local legends, semi-ironic covers, underrated Australian bands, my difficulties with the French language, Pete Doherty's quality control issues, good shoegaze vs. bad shoegaze, 90's cult figures, un-Google-able bands, & how best to use a time machine.  All that plus some anniversaries, some love for our brothers & sisters in Paris, the Cover Of The Week, & the Flatbasset Flatclassic!

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #61 (American Album Hall Of Fame Vol. 1)

The dogs on Main Street howl because they understand...

Well hello again, everybody! Welcome to a very special, very epic two-part edition of Flatbasset Radio!

Folks, it's 4th Of July weekend and, in the spirit of celebrating America's birthday and our long, rich history of over-indulging, I've decided to start a new tradition here on the Flatbasset Radio.  Allow me to welcome you to the inaugural edition of...

THE FLATBASSET RADIO AMERICAN ALBUM HALL OF FAME

That's right, I've decided to start a new 4th Of July tradition of celebrating the glorious melting pot that is American pop culture by inducting albums into my newly-created Hall Of Fame. Now, like any good Hall Of Fame, I've laid out some criteria for the FRAAHOF (or, if you'd like, "Fraaaahoffff").

01. An album must be at least 10 years old to be inducted into the FRAAHOF

02. Only 6 albums per year may be inducted

03. Only 2 of those 6 albums may have been released over 30 years ago

04. No artist can appear in consecutive years

There you go.  Now, I came up with a list of nominations and passed them along to the FRAAHOF Executive Committee* to vote on the inaugural class.

(*Note: I am the only member of the FRAAHOF Executive Committee)

So, without further ado, here are the inaugural entrants into the Flatbasset Radio American Album Hall Of Fame.

                        Lifter Puller                                     Public Enemy

                            Big Star                                                Foo Fighters

                             Aesop Rock                                       Bruce Springsteen

Now that we've got that out of the way, let's get to the music.  I decided to play three songs each off of these classic albums. As you can imagine, this wasn't easy considering the fact that they wouldn't be Hall Of Fame Albums if they weren't packed with great songs.

Give the show a listen if you have a lot of time to kill and would live to re-visit these Hall Of Fame records.  As always, the show's free.  Just click the Mixcloud player below and enjoy!

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #57

Right on time, right on the money...

Well hello again, podcast fans!  Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #57!

Thanks for stopping by again.  I promised back in Ep. #56 that I would be more consistent this spring & summer with the show and here I am sort of sticking to my promise.  Mathematically, having done zero episodes in March, the fact that I've now put up two episodes in April means I'm being infinitely more productive, so there ya go.  Men lie, women lie, numbers don't.

Unfortunately, you're stuck with me flying solo yet again on this episode.  Along the way I apologize for not making my way to St. Paul, try one last time to sell you on my favorite local band, praise the bonding power of old-school hip-hop, demand free coffee from Starbucks, check in on some Twin Cities legends, question the validity of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, go in for my European heritage, attempt to explain growing into an album ten years after its release, make amends for mispronouncing things months ago, mispronounce a whole new batch of things, and make my case for the best Radiohead album.  All that plus the Cover Of The Week, Flatbasset Flatclassic, popped "p's," mumbled commentary, and all the other features you've come to know & love/enjoy/tolerate from Flatbasset Radio.

As always, the Flatbasset Radio podcast is free to stream.  Simply click the Mixcloud player below.

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #56

Get bit by the hounds...

Well hello again, everybody!  Welcome back to Flatbasset Radio!

As I mentioned in a previous post, I was incredibly busy in March as such I haven't been able to post a new show in about six weeks.  Sorry.  I'm a busy guy.  You know what they say about the devil & idle hands...

Anyway, I'm back and I promise you that I will crank out new blog posts and new episodes of the podcast all summer long.  Word is bond, son, word is bond.

So, let's get on with it then.  In this week's show I attempt to justify my month-long absence from the show, play a forgotten jam from 2014, attempt to explain how Tim Armstrong was my Dylan, discuss my expectations of Blur's reunion, celebrate the anniversary of Bloc Party's best album, dig into my theory as to why EP's are sometimes the best work an artist puts out, struggle, yet again, to pronounce "Citroën," and, as is par for the course, go all fanboy on a Smiths Flatbasset Flatclassic.  All of that plus all the popped "P's" and audio drop-outs you can possibly stomach.  Enjoy!

As always, this episode is available to stream for free. Just click the Mixcloud player below

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #49 (Young Sandwich's Autumn Mix Pt. 2)

She's got tofu the size of Texas...

Well hello again, podcast fans!  Welcome to a special edition of Flatbasset Radio!

For those of you who are longtime listeners of the show, most of what I'm about to say will be redundant.  Sorry.  Thanks for being longtime listeners. For those of you who are new to the show, here's what you're looking at this week.

I have a buddy named Nick (aka Young Sandwich).  Now, Nick and I don't always agree on music or sports or food or alcohol or... well... lots of things.  Regardless, he's my dude and he's always trying to turn me on to new music.  Now, most of the time that "new" music consists of old music made by dead or nearly dead people (I see you, Neil Young).

Over the past year Nick's passed on a couple of USB drives worth of music that he thought I should check out.  Of course, being in my early 30's, I have trouble doing anything without sharing it on the internet.  I figured hell, since I have a radio show, I may as well explore these songs with a little help from my friends.  Back in July Nick passed along his first USB full of songs, which I listened to, evaluated, and sequenced into a show that became Flatbasset Radio: Episode #41 (Young Sandwich's USB Mix).  To date it stands as the most popular show Flatbasset Radio's ever produced.

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #41 (Young Sandwich's USB Mix) by Tcdroogsma on Mixcloud

Emboldened by the success of his first mix, Nick loaded up a second USB with songs he thought I should check out.  There was just one problem: the first USB had just enough songs to put together a show.  This second USB had a whopping 56 songs! 56! That's a lot of songs to sort through (especially when I was unfamiliar with nearly all the artists).

To make things a little easier on myself, I split the songs into bite size chunks.  Five songs per week, each receiving two spins.  Math being math, I reached the halfway point about six weeks after receiving the USB.  Again, being completely unable to just enjoy something myself, I decided to go through those first 28 songs, trim them down to an hour worth of music, and assemble them into a show.  Voila!  Flatbasset Radio: Episode #45 (Young Sandiwich's Autumn Mix Pt. 1), a particularly gonzo mix of songs that nobody (myself included) ever expected to hear on the show.

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #45 (Young Sandwich's Autumn Mix Pt. 1) by Tcdroogsma on Mixcloud

As you probably gathered by the title of that episode, there was an Autumn Mix Pt. 2 coming. Well, today's the day.  Again, I've spent five weeks going through the remaining songs, chopped them down into about an hour of music, assembled them into a show, and present them here for your enjoyment.

Young Sandwich's Autumn Mix Pt. 2 is, again, a pretty gonzo affair.  It's worth noting that, according to the man himself, the songs that make up the second half of that USB were picked as he eased into beers number 5 & 6.  It's a crazy mixture of East Coast rap, Venezuelan funk, old Grand Royal records, dead jazzbos, English hard rock, Southern rap, spaced out indie doo-wop, and a heartbreaking turn from Tom Waits.  It's a fantastic show if I do say so myself.  Good work, Young Sandwich.

Turn the light off, keep your shirt on...

Well hello again, podcast fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #47!

It was another fun week here in podcast land.  For Episode #47 I ventured back to St. Paul in an effort to, "recover the magic" with MinneSarah.  Frankly, I think we succeeded.  This time around we discuss the weather (like true Minnesotans), last winter's weather (like sad, true Minnesotans), our favorite Nashville band, the type of music you get to know living in a small town, whether or not it's worth becoming a fan of Fleetwood Mac, the intoxicating effect of stadium shows, how The Depot stays up and running, trying to teach English in The Bronx, which artists might be filling hockey arenas in ten years, MinneSarah's garage rock 180, our huge Spanish audience, what records to pick up at the library, how the indie Class Of 2003 is faring these days, iconic 90's t-shirts, & the dividing line among R.E.M. fans.  All that plus the Cover Of The Week & the Flatbasset Flatclassic!

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #45 (Young Sandwich's Autumn Mix Pt. 1)

Tomorrow's just an excuse away...

Well hello again, everybody.  Welcome to a particularly gonzo episode of Flatbasset Radio.

Sorry it's been so long since I've put together a new show.  If you've been listening to the last few episodes you know that my co-host MinneSarah headed off on a vacation to England & France.  Based on the pictures she's been throwing up on Instagram she's having a much more fun time than getting drunk with me and talking about music.

While she's been gone I've been having trouble filling the void here at Planet New Basset.  Turns out that I'm not really very good at carrying the show by myself.  However, even with MinneSarah half the world away, I'm not left entirely to my own devices.

A few months back, for Flatbasset Radio: Episode #41, I put together a mix built entirely out of songs given to me by my buddy Nick (aka Young Sandwich).  It was a pretty crazy mix made up almost entirely of songs that would never have found their way on to the show otherwise.  It turned out to be our most played episode of all time (which reminds me, big thanks to everybody who made it so popular.  Ya'll are the coolest).

Which brings us to this mix.  Back in July, Nick was kind enough to pass along another USB full of music that I would likely never have heard on my own.  This one, however, was a monster.  It was 56 songs that, according to Nick, he picked out while drinking.  By his own admission, it was pretty random.  I've been slowly working my way through this thing at the pace of five songs per week.  Just a couple of weeks ago I realized I hit the half-way mark on this bad boy and thought to myself, "Hell, Nicky's last mix went so well maybe I should give this another go."

I went through those first 28 songs and trimmed it down to about an hour long mix.  It turned out pretty fucking nutso.  Much like his last mix, I'm fairly certain none of these songs would have made it on to any other episode of the show.  That's not because they aren't excellent songs (they are), but more because Nick has a great ear for mood and a much broader musical pallet than I do.  For better or worse, his songs work best when presented all together.

As you can see above, this is Nick's Autumn Mix Pt. 1.  Once I finish working my way through the remaining 28 songs on the USB I'll put together the companion mix.  Until then, enjoy this one.  Put it on your phone, stuff your phone into that jacket you just dug out of the closet, and let it play.  Hell, you won't have to take off your gloves to change songs for a whole hour.  Good times.

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #20

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

America's number one statistical faux pas...

Hello again, free music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #20!
 
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!

In this week's edition TCDroogsma remains laid up, dedicates a song to his new TV addiction, explains the name of his latest Newest Industry column, incorrectly predicts the outcome of a hockey game, pines for the hospital lifestyle, goes to the well of "Nineties-sounding" repeatedly, and explains how a film helped him remain confident before going under the knife.
