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

Rabbit rabbit, everybody! Welcome to another installment of the always compelling Records I Listened To Between Jobs!

Yes, November is upon us. Yes, I'm a day late with this post. No, I don't regret falling asleep after work and missing my deadline. See, that's the beauty of self-imposed deadlines - they still fall behind "napping" on the list of important things to do.

Anyway, as always, thank you to everybody who listened to the show this month. It was only a couple of shows, but they were pretty good ones, right?

Alright, let's get to the collage.

(As always, one "play" equals one song. For example, that new Extraterrestrials album has 11 songs on it, so each time I listen to it front to back it counts as eleven "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. The Miami Dolphins - Water Your Waiting For (98 plays)

02. Stanley - Stanley (80 plays)

03. Extraterrestrials - Extraterrestrials (77plays)

04. Loud Sun - Sea Grave (70 plays)

Flatbasset Radio's 25 Most Played Albums: October '15

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to yet another in a seemingly endless string of monthly album recaps.

First off, I want to say thank you to anybody who checked out last week's episode of Flatbasset Radio. It was great to be back doing the show again and certainly hope you enjoyed it.  One of the perks of taking two months off from doing the show is that when you come back you can pack it full of white hot jams and I think that's what we accomplished here.

Second, sorry this post is a couple of days late. I'm assuming nobody noticed since everybody is probably just now finishing cleaning up after their Halloween parties (looking in your direction, Dr. Bill). Frankly, if you've been frequently checking this page to see if I've posted the monthly recap yet you probably need to reevaluate some of your life decisions.

Lastly, you may notice that there aren't any dead spots in this month's album collage. Unfortunately Last.fm still hasn't resumed allowing its users to post album pics (which, to the OCD music junkie you see before you is absolute torture). However, necessity being the mother of invention, I learned how to use the most basic photoshopping program ever to add the albums that weren't showing up.  Oh, sweet completism.

Anyway, here's Flatbasset Radio's 25 Most Played Albums Of October 2015:

01. The Libertines - Anthems For Doomed Youth (86 plays)

02. Murder Shoes - Daydreaming (66 plays)
