Flatbasset Radio: Episode #60 (Young Sandwich's Spring Mix Vol. 1)

Relax, put some sounds on, I'll brew up some decaf...

Well hello again, everybody!  Welcome to an extra special episode of Flatbasset Radio!

For those of you who've been following the show over the years you know that on occasion my good friend Nick (aka Young Sandwich) has been known to turn up and give us a mix every now and then.  He gave us a USB Mix for Episode #41.  He followed that one up by giving us an epic two-part Autumn Mix for Episodes #41 & #49.  He turned in a Cabin Fever Mix last winter too but for reasons I can't recall I never had a chance to adequately mix & post it.  It'll be fun to get that one out there this winter when he can't remember which songs he put on there.

Anyway, Nick & I used to work 40 hours per week together and now that Nick has moved on to a better job I went full-on bro-mantic last week and dedicated the second set of last week's show to him (there's no better way to say, "Hey, bud. I miss ya" than by playing an eleven minute Pink Floyd jam).

Well, Nick was so touched by my gesture that he decided to grace the Flatbasset Radio show with a brand new mix.  So here I present to you Flatbasset Radio: Episode #60 (Young Sandwich's Spring Mix Vol. 1)!  As is usually the case with Nick's mixes, he's on a slightly different vibe than most of my shows.  Not better or worse, just a little different.  This episode is a saucy little mix of surf-rock, synth-pop, 80's grandeur, lost classics, East Coast hip-hop, a tribute to a lost blues man, and makes for a delightful twist on typical "Spring Mix" fodder. I suggest you give it a listen and if you dig it you should really check out his old shows.  He's got a real ear for these things.

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 #25

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

Me & Garrison Keillor on the four-wheeler sippin' tequila...

Hello again, free music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #25!
 
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!

In this week's episode Droogsy eschews Christmas songs for "secular music," uses the term "dream-poppy-prog-rocky...," celebrates a young rapper who passed too soon, concedes that he's let his laser noise game lapse, ranks Santa's reindeer in this week's Power Rankings, indulges his love of dopey love songs, and, at least for this week, puts down his axe in his fight against an indie rock icon.

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