Flatbasset Radio's 25 Most Played Albums: November '17

Well hello everybody. Welcome to another edition of Album Collage Monthly!

Folks, I don't know about you, but my November was straight trash. I won't bore you with the details, but too much worky, not enough sleepy, not enough bloggy... It wasn't any fun. It was so bad, in fact, that it bled into December and pushed this post back a day. I'm sorry for that, but really, if you spent yesterday refreshing this blog waiting for the collage you have problems far worse than mine.

Anyway, as always, big thanks to everybody who checked out the lone show I posted this month. No matter how rough things are, I take sincere joy out of playing that Descendents song every Thanksgiving. It really does say the things I'd like to in a much better (and catchier) way than I can. Sincere thanks to all the bands who play the way they play and help push through the darker days.

Let's get to the thing.

(As always, one "play" equals one song. For example, the new Mozzer album has 12 songs on it, so each time I listen to it front to back it counts as twelve "plays." As usual, all stats come from my Last.FM page. Give it a follow if you really want to stay up on what's getting the most plays.)

01. Shredders - Dangerous Jumps (84 plays)

02. Morrissey - Low In High School (84 plays)

03. Yeah Wings - Tomorrow WillBe Better (63 plays)

04. Buck 65 - Situation (55 plays)

05. Blaha - 499-456 (55 plays)

06. Descendents - Liveage! (54 plays)

07. Local H - Hallelujah! I'm A Bum (51 plays)

08. V/A - EIS Sampler 2013 // 2014 (50 plays)

09. V/A - Unpop 154 (47 plays)

10. The Replacements - All For Nothing/Nothing For All (46 plays)

11. Jay-Z - American Gangster (45 plays)

12. Fragile Canyons - Adapting To The Cosmos (44 plays)

13. Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables (42 plays)

14. Superchunk - Superchunk (40 plays)

15. Liam Gallagher - As You Were (37 plays)

16. Vangelis - Blade Runner (36 plays)

17. Unwound - Repetition (36 plays)

18. The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour (33 plays)

19. The Killers - Sawdust (33 plays)

20. Bedhead - WhatFunLifeWas (33 plays)

21. Romantica - Control Alt Country Delete (32 plays)

22. Buffalo Springfield - Again (30 plays)

23. Greg Graffin - American Lesion (30 plays)

24. Jens Lekman - Life Will See You Now (30 plays)

25. Cream - Disraeli Gears (30 plays)

There you have it, folks. Stay tuned for more shows throughout December!

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #100

Who else sounded like this?

Well hello again, everybody! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #100!

That's right, folks, we made it! 100 episodes. That's nearly four straight days worth of shows if you played them back to back. I do not recommend playing them all back to back as my nasal voice will haunt both your dreams & nightmares, but regardless, that's a lot of damn shows.

This week's show is filled with all sorts of gems. Their are some outstanding local shows coming up this weekend, a stellar Cover Of The Week, three new songs from three major artists, the Flatbasset Flatclassic, and all the mumbling & "ummm's" that I probably should have learned to avoid about 50 episodes ago. Like I said, great show.

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

If you don't have the time or desire to download the show, just click the Mixcloud player below and you're good to go.
