Flatbasset Radio: Episode #70 (Best Of 2015 - The Current Song Of The Day)

It ain't who ya know, it's who knows you...

Well hello again, podcast fans! Welcome to an out-fucking-standing episode of the Flatbasset Radio show!

As you likely gathered from the unnecessarily long title of this week's show, you're in for a special episode this week. As per tradition, I'm starting off the new year with a few of "Best Of 2015" shows. This particular episode is a countdown of my 10 favorite songs given away via The Current's Song Of The Day podcast.  Hell, who doesn't love a good countdown?

For those unaware of The Current's SOTD podcast, I highly suggest you look into. Follow this link, subscribe to the show, and each and every weekday you'll find a new song waiting for you. They're not all winners, but as you're about to find out, some of them are absolute gems.

For this countdown I only have a couple of criteria:


01. The song only had to be released as a Current SOTD track in 2015. The song didn't necessarily have to get its proper release in 2015.

02. No songs from albums I eventually purchased. If I did pick up an album that contained a SOTD track, I've probably already played something from it here on the show.

So kick back and listen. I play the jams, complain about how tired I am, mispronounce a bunch of names, and pretty much just fill the blank space between songs. It's a hell of a show.

(Full disclosure, I suppose: I do not work for and am in no way affiliated with MPR or The Current... yet. It's good to have goals though).

As always, Flatbasset Radio is completely free. Just click the Mixcloud player below and you're good to go.

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #13

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

Gimme the loot, gimme the loot!

Well hello again, music junkies! Welcome to the 13^th episode of our podcast Flatbasset Radio!

For those of you who don't know quite what you're looking at, here's the story. Each week TCDroogsma reviews songs for our Songs Of The Week column. Since he's usually down on those songs we asked him to start recording a weekly podcast for us to show us that, yes, he is actually a music fan and deserves to keep his post.

This week is Membership Drive week here at Newest Industry! TCDroogsma (and Newest Industry) implore all of our listeners/readers to make a donation. Remember, with every donation we'll send you a bumper sticker that says, “I Make Newest Industry Happen.” Put it on your car's bumper that way you can drive around and show off to everybody just how smart, hip, and culturally aware you are! Plus, you know everybody hates just walking around and thinking, “Boy, that's fine car, but I'd just like to know more about that person. What do they believe in? How do they spend their money? How can I acquire this information without actually talking to them?” Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

In this week's episode TCDroogsma shamelessly whores out for donations, laments the breakup of the only prog-rock band he ever liked, plays us his new personal theme song, questions whether any good music has come out since 1998, struggles to explain his “renowned” big things/little things theory, and plays us one of his favorite love songs.
