Dodging eye contact with anyone who looks my way...
Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #116!
Folks, we're back to our regularly scheduled program this week. 13 songs, 62 minutes, some banter, jams on jams...
Before I get to that, however, big big thanks to everybody who made a donation to Secondhand Hounds last week. I was hoping to raise $50 for the Houndoos and we ended up raising $130. Of course I'm happy to send along the Flatbasset Radio: Secondhand Mix to anybody else who'd like to step up to the plate. Just $5 and I'll e-mail two 30 minute mixes as a show of gratitude.
Also, look at that Mixcloud player down below - Yeah, that's the new Flatbasset Radio logo. Pretty damn sexy, eh? A gentleman named Ross Auger of Wet Eyes Productions was kind enough to put that together for me and he knocked it out of the park. If you're ever in need of some graphic design, give him a call.
Alright, on to this week's show. As I was saying, 13 songs, 62 minutes, all the banter you could ever want, all the jams you could ever want. Along the way we discuss a new album from one of St. Paul's finest indie rock bands, some upcoming shows, a long-overdue spotlight for one of Minneapolis' finest guitar players, a Minnesota band that may not be from Minnesota, the softer side of one of pop-punk's angry young men, and the moment an Alternative Nation legend transitioned to a Great American Rock Band. All that plus some anniversaries, the Cover Of The Week, a dip into Nate's Archives, a trip in the Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and, of course, the Flatbasset Flatclassic.
