You need proof? Get brandy...

Hello, podcast fans!  Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #42!

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!

TCDroogsma is back flyin' solo for Episode #42.  In this week's show he explains why he's solo, plays a request from one of his regular listeners, declares Purple Rain one of God's favorite albums, explains Flatbasset Radio's DTS policy, discusses the breakout star of the 10K Sounds Festival, struggles to read, laments the passing of the last original Ramone, celebrates one of hip-hop's great hooks, indulges in one of his all-time favorite "summer bands," and talks about his favorite concert ever.  All that plus the Cover Of The Week and the Flatbasset Flatclassic!

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #8 (Christmas Spectacular!)

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

If God came down on Christmas day, I know exactly what he'd say...

Well hello again, music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio – Episode #8 (Christmas Spectacular!)

For those who are new to the podcast, here's the story. TCDroogsma is one of our regular contributors. Specifically, he can be found being unnecessarily harsh in our Songs Of The Week column. So, each week we ask him to play us some songs that he actually likes.

Click the player below to listen to TCDroogsma's podcast.

This week TCDroogsma brings us a round of Christmas cheer! In between playing Christmas songs he debates the serving size of egg nog, tries to justify playing Zooey Deschanel & Tom Waits, lets us Americans in on a Boxing Day secret, invites listeners to debate nature of the fabric of his pants, and gives a big thanks to all our readers!

Here's how this week's episode breaks down (Click the title to download the show):
