Flatbasset Radio: Episode #74

See, I know my destination, but I'm just not there...

Well hello again, podcast fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #74!

Happy Leap Day, everybody! In honor of this rare, yet scheduled phenomena I figured I should get my shit together and make the most of this bonus day by sitting on my ass recording a new show. Mission: Accomplished.

In this week's episode I celebrate some anniversaries, play some new local music, check in on some old Bay Area friends, lament the lack of respect for Owatonna's greatest songwriter, the sadness running through a classic beat album, revisit a single that was supposed to break one of America's great punk bands, struggle with my accents, fawn over my favorite rapper, and get unreasonably excited about my first trip to see The Boss live! All that plus the Cover Of The Week & Flatbasset Flatclassic!

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #12

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

A special holiday only for me...

Hello again, music fans! Welcome to Episode #12 of our Flatbasset Radio podcast!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the podcast, here's the scoop. Each week TCDroogsma participates in our Songs Of The Week column in which he reviews The Current's Song Of The Day tracks. Since he's usually pretty negative we ask him to record a podcast each week to show us that he does indeed enjoy music and is worthy of the position we've given him here at the blog. The podcast is always free to listen to here on the blog and free to download for on-the-go listening.

This week TCDroogsma discusses which Radiohead album hold up the best, explains the benefit of being a Minnesotan who lived in New York, laments a dead Minneapolis band, celebrates an underrated British band, gets very skeptical about Killa Cam's upcoming concert, tells us what makes Bob Stinson's ghost happy, revisits a mid-90's classic, and keeps the flame of optimism burning for Morrissey.
