Flatbasset Radio: Episode #95

They'll even print my recipe for pasta with pesto...

Well hello again, podcast fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #95!

I'm back on my hosting grind again this week. I've got all kinds of jams on this one - local rock, anniversaries, upcoming shows, some indie rock lifers, classic hip-hop, local electro-pop, the Cover Of The Week, and, as always, the Flatbasset Flatclassic!

Along the way I work in some discussion about the state of Planet New Basset (hint: not great), the state of the unions (hint: not much better), the career trajectory of Arctic Monkeys, finding hope in 80's punk, confused spelling, shows for charity, shows for your enjoyment, international Jawbreaker Day, the story of how Johnny Marr joined Modest Mouse, putting faith in Millenials, the beauty of the horn coda, and a heavy discussion about this week's 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 #95 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.

Newest Industry Presents - Flatbasset Radio: Episode #35

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

Yeah, I called you fat, look at me I'm skinny...

Hello again, free music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #35!
 
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 and/or download!

In this week's episode TCDroogsma is flying solo from Planet New Basset yet again.  In the process of trying to get his podcast game "back on track" he's feeling extra "saucy" because of the warm weather, celebrating the anniversary of one of independent hip-hop's great albums, buying CD's on Amazon for a penny, lamenting the 20 year anniversary of a generational icon, celebrating Rex Manning Day, anticipates a summer of Rhymesayers, finds himself coming around on a couple artists he didn't care for, (yet again) mispronounces a band's name, explains why St. Vincent is one of his "desert island" artists, vows to get MinneSarah back into the fold for next week's show, and discusses the song that best embodies old Modest Mouse & new Modest Mouse!
