Flatbasset Radio: Episode #121

Our enemies lay dead upon the ground but still we kick...

Well hello again, music fans. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #121!

Believe it or not, folks, it's another miserable, rainy Friday here in Minneapolis. I decided the best way to cope was to stay in & keep myself comfy by the warmth of these jams. You're welcome to join me.

This week's show is packed full-to-the-brim with jams. I've got some great new local music, a perfect entry point for one of the great punk bands of all-time, our continued exploration of the Father/Daughter Records catalog, get into a little lo-fi indie rock, a little alt-country, a little east coast shoegaze, say goodbye to one of the great American bands of the last 20 years, and mourn the death of Brit Pop. All that plus the Cover Of The Week, a deep dive into Nate's Archives, a trip in the Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and the 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 #121 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #97

I'll say what this means to me, I'll do what I can...

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #97!

That's right, folks! Four weeks in a row! I think that may be the first time that's happened in the history of this, ahem... weekly podcast. Good times.

This week's show is filled with all the things you've come to know & love about the Flatbasset Radio podcast. I've got some new local stuff, some old local stuff, some classic pop, some beats, some hip-hop, some anniversaries, the Cover Of The Week, and a particularly heartbreaking Flatbasset Flatclassic.

Along the way I review a big-time show at the Xcel Center, highlight some upcoming shows around town, explain how to game the Green Line system, lose all of my credibility for the third straight week, struggle to remember concerts from a decade ago, celebrate some 35 year old Australian low-fi dub (yeah, really...), struggle with pronunciation, rehash my story of the best show I've ever seen, and do my best to memorialize yet another 90's icon gone too soon.

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 #97 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.
