Flatbasset Radio: Episode #139 (Best Of 2020 - The Current Song Of The Day)

 

This has been the hardest year...

 

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #139!

That's right, folks, we're starting this year the same we start every year, by counting down the jams from the previous year. First up is The Current Song Of The Day countdown.

As loyal readers/listeners know I'm a huge fan of The Current's Song Of The Day podcast. I've been following it since 2007 and have missed only a handful of jams over the years. I highly suggest you head on over The Current's website and follow along for yourself (of subscribe via Apple Music. I'm not sure how you do that because I'm still using and version of iTunes from the Obama years, but I'm sure it's a thing you can do).

Before we get to this year's countdown, a few links. First, previous Current SOTD countdowns:

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #7 (Best Of 2012)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #28 (Best Of 2013)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #52 (Best Of 2014)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #70 (Best Of 2015)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #89 (Best Of 2016)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #113 (Best Of 2017)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #133 (Best Of 2018)
Flatbasset Radio: Episode #137 (Best Of 2020)

Of note: Flatbasset Radio: Episode #7 is posted here as a download from Archive.org because the show was "disabled" on Mixcloud. I'm not sure why Mixcloud took it down, but I can only assume it was because the episode was so popular that it threatened to crash their servers.

With all of that out of the way, let's get to the show. Robot Ralph resumes his annual hosting duties and our deeply unpopular tradition continues.

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 #139, just click here.

If you don't have the time or desire to download the show, just click the Mixcloud player below and you're good to go.

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #7 (2012 Song Of The Day Countdown!)

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

There's no way to forget it all...

Well hello again, music fans! Welcome back to Flatbasset Radio!

December is list making time and we're no exception. This week's podcast is a special one as TCDroogsma counts down his 15 favorite tracks given away by The Current via their Song Of The Day podcast!

As well as running ten minutes longer than he was allowed, TCDroogsma struggles to title his own podcast, loses all credibility with the youth of the Twin Cities, bases his top choice on his own unique life situation, and explains exactly why it is that he's obsessed with the Song Of The Day podcast even though he kind of hates it.

Click the embedded player above to listen to the podcast. Click the title below to download it for your very own.

If you somehow want even more TCDroogsma he can be found on Twitter (@TCDroogsma) or rambling on and on over at Flatbasset, his personal blog. We're currently taking bets as to how deeply into 2013 he can make it without shaving.

 Newest Industry also lives on Twitter (@NewestIndustry1). Give us a follow to stay up on the work being done by all of our contributors. More importantly we have a Facebook page here. Trivial as it may seem, stopping by and giving us a “like” is a very helpful way to support the blog short of just giving us a hot sandwich. Though it is cold, and we haven't had a hot sandwich in a minute...
