Flatbasset Radio: Episode #124

I can't take it, take it, take it no more...

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #124!

It's a gorgeous Sunday here in Minneapolis. The sun is shining, birds are singing, bees are trying to have sex with them - as I'm led to believe - and I've got a brand new batch of jams lined up for you.

On this week's show we'll spotlight some upcoming shows, begin our deep dive into the Disposable America catalog, listen to some new local pop, some old local (lo-fi) pop, mark some anniversaries, listen to some pub rock, marvel at the adaptability of Bob Dylan's catalog, and revisit some of my favorite albums of my youth. All that plus the Cover Of The Week, a deep dive into Nate's Archives, take a trip in the Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and another local 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 #124 (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.
