Flatbasset Radio: Episode #43 (w/MinneSarah)

When I've got the music I've got a place to go...

Well hello again, everybody.  Welcome to the slightly remodeled Flatbasset Radio show.

For anybody who's been following along over the last couple of years, you probably know that the show is usually posted over on the Twin Cities blog Newest Industry.  Unfortunately, despite my high hopes for Newest Industry, I'm shutting it down for several reasons.  Lack of interest from readers, lack of participation from contributors, and, most relevantly, a nasty tendency for the site to redirect you to bullshit advertisements when trying to listen to the Flatbasset Radio show on the page.

As such, I'll be posting the show here on the Flatbasset blog going forward.  Here's hoping that the same sort of redirection doesn't begin occurring here as well.  If you continue to have issues playing the show here feel free to hop over to the Mixcloud page to give it a spin (evidently these issues do not extend to that website).  Also, as you may or may not have noticed, I do post the show for download each week.  Click on the title of the show and you can just download the show and listen to it at your leisure.  Either way, it's good to have options.

This also means that the show will no longer be posted on the Newest Industry Facebook page (which is how most people find out about new episodes).  To keep up with the show and the blog, do me a favor and hit up the Flatbasset Radio Facebook page and give it a "Like."  I'd appreciate it.

Now that that's out of the way, let's get to Episode #43.

This week I trekked over to St. Paul to record the show with MinneSarah.  We discussed her birthday, her upcoming trip to England, how Lou Barlow can help people understand the 80's, Australia's Canada, the masculinity of hair metal, the importance of Carlos D. to Interpol, the summer of 1998, the long-term legacy of Death Grips, the definition of greatness, whether Bush is better than Soundgarden, taste testing beer in an effort to make amends with Madison, where Earth ranks within our solar system, the smell of Brooklyn, an averted crisis at the Warped Tour!  All of that plus the Cover Of The Week & the Flatbasset Flatclassic!

Here's how the show plays out (again, click on the title to download the show):

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #6

(IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT, THIS POST ORIGINALLY APPEARS ON THE TWIN CITIES BLOG NEWEST INDUSTRY.  HENCE THE TITLE.  PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD...)

Ain't got no milk, no mothafuckin' cereal...

Well hello again, free music fans!  Welcome to the sixth episode of Flatbasset Radio!

As you may or may not know by now, Flatbasset Radio is a weekly podcast put together by regular contributor TCDroogsma.  He spends so much time on this blog being a snarky asshole that we almost feel obligated to have him put together a podcast to prove that yes, he does actually like music.

This week TCDroogsma reveals his personal theme song, reluctantly plays Neil Young, coldly uses his friends heartache for his own selfish means, laments the breakup of the internet's favorite rap group, ponders a world in which Interpol died in a tire fire, and celebrates Phatnumber's birthday!

If, for some reason, this is not enough TCDroogsma he can be found on Twitter (@TCDroogsma).  Give him a follow if you like inside jokes between him and his idiot friends.  He can also be found rambling away on his own Flatbasset blog.  You were warned.

Of course Newest Industry also maintains a Twitter home (@NewestIndustry1).  Give us a follow to stay up on the work being done by all of our contributors.  More importantly, we have a Facebook page here.  Though it seems trivial, stopping by and giving us a "like" is actually the best way to support Newest Industry short of buying us each a new pair of gloves.
