Flatbasset Radio: Episode #106

Oh, the pain in my legs...

Well hello again, everybody! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio's long-in-production Episode #106!

That's right, folks, I finally got my lazy ass back to work after taking nearly six weeks off from the podcast. I know what you're thinking, "Well, you must have been very busy. Between work and your commitment to self-improvement I can completely understand taking six weeks off."

Wrong! I took on no extra work and may actually be dumber than the last time I recorded a show.

Nonetheless, I've got a great show for you this week. We've got to catch up on some anniversaries, check out some outstanding new local music, look ahead to some concerts this week, look back at a major concert that passed, dig into some instrumentals, and, sadly, mourn to lost titans of their respective genres. All that plus the Cover Of The Week 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 #106 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.

Newest Industry Presents - Flatbasset Radio: Episode #29

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

I'm riding on a camel that has big eyes...

Hello again, free music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #29!
 
For those of you who are unaware of the Flatbasset Radio format, here's what you're looking at: TCDroogsma is our resident MP3 junkie. As you've probably noticed in his Songs Of The Week column, he's not always the most positive music fan. In an effort to prove that he is, in fact, a fan of music, we give him an hour each week to play the songs he's digging and talk a little bit about them. Once he's recorded his podcast we put it right here on the website for free to stream and/or download!

In this week's episode Droogsy's flyin' solo due to the polar vortex, wondering why British bands are better at shoegaze, playing something from one of his most anticipated albums of 2014, struggling (yet again) with basic pronunciation, speculating about an unpredictable MC's motivation, trying to warm us up with music, wondering just what the big deal is with the Grammy Awards, giving us all a warning about proper footwear, getting excited about reunited 90's groups, recalling the days of compact discs, and shining the spotlight on "one of the most skipped songs" in history!

You can download the podcast for free by clicking the episode's title or stream the episode by clicking on the Mixcloud player below.
