Flatbasset Radio: Episode #118

Can you squeeze me into an empty page of your diary?

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #118!

That's right, folks, it's Flatbasset Friday and oh boy to I have a show lined up for you. It's been a crazy week here in snowy Minneapolis, but it's Friday and I was dead set on getting this show to all my loyal listeners (hi, Mom!).

This week's episode is stuffed to the gills with jams and banter. Lots of things to say about the stuff (or, conversely, stuff to say about the things). Along the way I tell a story about my terrible apartment building, build a bridge between Flatbasset Radio & Disney (finally!), spotlight an artist who spent some time in the margins of a past episode, find the Twin Cities answer to The Dandy Warhols, spend some time with angry Canadians, spend some time with handsome Canadians, take a peek under the hood of one of my local groups, and spotlight a bunch of great upcoming shows. Along the way we take a dive into Nate's Archives, check out the Cover Of The Week, take a trip in the Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and, as always, revisit an absolutely stellar 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 #118 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #99

I've never been too good with names...

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #99!

Another Friday, another batch of jams. This week's episode is stuffed full of... ummm... audio goodness? Sure, let's go with that.

I've got twelve songs lined up on this week's show. A few anniversaries, some new local stuff, a show or two to look into, a mysterious local group, the latest from one of Minnesota's most famous ex-pats, the latest from a couple of Minnesota beatmakers, Glasgow's #1 dog-themed indie-pop group, some throwback funk, a Cover Of The Week courtesy of an English blog, an absolute gem of an early 90's classic, and one of the most "important" Flatbasset Flatclassics of all-time.

Flatbasset Radio's 25 Most Played Albums - March '17

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to another installment of Shit I Listened To While I Rode The Lightrail!

Sorry I'm a couple days late with this one. My busy March has bled into the beginning of April, so I've been doing quite a bit of working and not quite enough sleeping. I know you're all just dying to know what I've been listening to lately, so here we go.

As always, one "play" equals one song. For example, that new Good Doom album has 10 songs on it, so each time I listen to it front to back it counts as ten "plays."
