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

Folks, June is upon us, which means it's time for a hit of the best kind of nostalgia - instant!

Before I get to the collage, a big thank to everybody who checked out the show this month. There was actually a decent uptick in the number of plays I had this month, which really does warm my heart. I'm always open to feedback, submissions, requests, etc... Feel free to hit me up via Twitter or Facebook. If you're interested, all the old shows are posted over on my Mixcloud page and available to download on my Archive.org page.

Alright, let's get to the thing.

(As always, one "play" equals one song. For example, that new Falls 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. V/A - The Greatest Of All-Time #2 (128 plays)

02. Falls - Torn Between Comas (79 plays)

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #12

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

A special holiday only for me...

Hello again, music fans! Welcome to Episode #12 of our Flatbasset Radio podcast!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the podcast, here's the scoop. Each week TCDroogsma participates in our Songs Of The Week column in which he reviews The Current's Song Of The Day tracks. Since he's usually pretty negative we ask him to record a podcast each week to show us that he does indeed enjoy music and is worthy of the position we've given him here at the blog. The podcast is always free to listen to here on the blog and free to download for on-the-go listening.

This week TCDroogsma discusses which Radiohead album hold up the best, explains the benefit of being a Minnesotan who lived in New York, laments a dead Minneapolis band, celebrates an underrated British band, gets very skeptical about Killa Cam's upcoming concert, tells us what makes Bob Stinson's ghost happy, revisits a mid-90's classic, and keeps the flame of optimism burning for Morrissey.
