Flatbasset Radio's 25 Most Played Albums: July '18

That's right, everybody, another sweaty month is in the books, which means it's time for a hit of instant nostalgia. Here's Flatbasset Radio's 25 Most Played Albums of July '18.

Before I get to the list - Huge thanks to everybody who checked out the podcast this month. I know I thank you every month, but I mean it every time. The Canada Day show and the Flatbasst Radio American Album Hall Of Fame are two of my favorite shows to do each year, so I'm glad people checked them out.

Alright, let's get to the thing.

As always, one "play" equals one song. For example, the new Roma Di Luna album has 9 songs on it, so each time I listen to it front to back it counts as nine "plays." As usual, all stats come from my Last.FM page. Give it a follow if you really want to stay up on what's getting the most plays.

01. Dere Moans - Future Deli (84 plays)

02. Catbath - Glitterbox (70 plays)

03. Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty (68 plays)

04. Sloan - Navy Blues (65 plays)

05. Doomtree - Doomtree (64 plays)

06. P • PL - L • P (63 plays)

07. Roma Di Luna - We Were Made To Forgive (63 plays)

08. Kid Cudi - A Kid Named Cudi (51 plays)

Flatbasset Radio's 25 Most Played Albums: June '18

Well hello again, everybody! Welcome to yet another compelling episode of "Things I Listened To While Praising My New God: Air Conditioning!"

That's right, another month is in the books. It was a sweaty one here in Minneapolis, but you know what they say - if you don't like the weather in Minnesota just complain about it forever until you've been ostracized by friends, family, acquaintances, co-workers, potential lovers, pets, retail workers, public transit employees... Well, you get the idea.

Before I get to the list - Huge thanks to everybody who checked out the podcast this month. I know I thank you every month, but I mean it every time. This is a hobby, but it's one I take seriously. I really do put a lot of effort into trying to provide quality shows. Glad people are digging them.

Related note - Big thanks to anybody who shared the show on this big dumb internet. I don't have any sort of advertising (or advertising budget for that matter) and it'll be a cold day in hell before I pay Team Zuckyberg to "Boost" anything, so those shares are pretty much the whole reach of the podcast. They're definitely appreciated.

Alright, let's get to the thing.

As always, one "play" equals one song. For example, the new Astronomique album has 10 songs on it, so each time I listen to it front to back it counts as ten "plays." As usual, all stats come from my Last.FM page. Give it a follow if you really want to stay up on what's getting the most plays.

01. Astronomique - Sharp Divide (72 plays)

02. Flip Rushmore - Big, If True (70 plays)

03. Rancid - Life Won't Wait (67 plays)

04. Scrunchies - Stunner (65 plays)

05. Bruce Springsteen- Human Touch (57 plays)

06. Dennis - Alien Fantasy (54 plays)

07. V/A - Unpop 161 (48 plays)

08. Girl Talk - Feed The Animals (43 plays)

09. V/A - Spring 2018 (Z Tapes Compilation) (42 plays)

10. Coldplay - Viva La Vida Or Death AndAll His Friends (40 plays)

11. My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges (39 plays)

12. Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels On A Gravel Road (36 plays)

13. Haley - Big Star (35 plays)

14. Roma di Luna - Casting The Bones (35 plays)

15. Naked Raygun - All Rise (34 plays)

16. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes (33 plays)

17. Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back (32 plays)

18. Sixo - The Odds Of Free Will (32 plays)

19. The Dickies - Dawn Of The Dickies (30 plays)

20. Superteen - Exponential SUPERTEEN (30 plays)

21. The Cool Kids - The Bake Sale (30 plays)

22. Billy Bragg & Wilco - Mermaid Avenue Vol. 1 (30 plays)

23. The Evening Rig - Never Been'er (30 plays)

24. PUP - The Dream Is Over (30 plays)

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #129

I've had all that I can take today...

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #129!

Folks, I know it's been a few weeks since put up a new show and believe me, you have my most sincere apologies for that. I wanted to do the show, but I've been doing nothing but working, sweating, and napping in this godforsaken heat bubble of a city that I just didn't get it done. My bad. I'm back, though, better than ever.

This week's show is front-to-back bangers. I've got plenty of new local music, some throwback local jams, a batch of anniversaries (funny how a few weeks off does that), a couple new West Coast obsessions, our continued exploration of the Disposable America catalog, our weekly deep dive into Nate's Archives, the Cover Of The Week, a trip in the Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and, of course, the 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 #129 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.

Here's how Ep. #129 plays out:

01. The Regrets - Houndstooth

02. Haley (fka Haley Bonar) - Big Star

03. British Sea Power - Come Wander With Me

04. Lunch Duchess - Ride Or Die

05. Naked Raygun - Rat Patrol

06. Lost Film (fka Orca Orca) - Tomorrow

07. Astronomique - We Disappear

08. Quarterstance - Put On

09. The Smilies - In My Head

10. Roma Di Luna - Tamar

11. Snuff - Take Me Home (Piss Off)

12. Wilco - At My Window Sad And Lonely

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #111

Show me a barrel and watch me scrape it...

Well hello again, podcast fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #111

I know it's been a minute since the last episode, but I'm trying to finish the year strong. It's a long, holiday travel sort of weekend and I'm here to help you get through that car ride or plane ride or train ride.

You'll find that Flatbasset Radio: Episode #111 is just a bit different (perhaps, dare I say, better) than previous episodes. That's because, in the name of getting some songs in before 2017 passes, each of the sets on this week's show ends with a would-be Flatbasset Flatclassic. I had too many anniversaries pile up on me over the year due to my lack of consistency and I'm making up for lost time. Of course we'll still be dipping into some great new local music, some anniversaries, the Cover Of The Week, a trip in the Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and the actual 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 #111 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), 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.

Here's how Episode #111 plays out:

01. Another Heaven - Starfall

02. Mew - Carry Me To Safety (Live On Radio K)

03. Nik Void - Rocket USA

04. The Verve - Lucky Man

05. Astronomique - Mimic Forms

06. Bedhead - Unfinished

07. Morrissey - Trouble Loves Me

08. The Busy Signals - She's Got Soul

09. Sloan - I Am The Cancer/Left Of Centre

10. Roma Di Luna - Letter To A Young Poet

11. Gin Blossoms - Found Out About You

12. Bruce Springsteen - Brilliant Disguise

There you have it, folks. Enjoy!

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #98

I'm on a roll this time...

Well hello again, podcast fans. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #98!

Another Friday, another episode of Flatbasset Radio. Thanks for stopping by everyone. I've got a hell of a show here for you. 12 songs, 55 minutes, some local stuff, some upcoming shows, a nice batch of anniversaries, the Cover Of The Week, and, of course, the Flatbasset Flatclassic.

Along the way I discuss wasting a gorgeous Friday afternoon, the way time blurs the specifics of genres, a belated reuniting of a Twin Cities fave, my favorite song off the new Forged Artifacts comp, a great Minneapolis producer, shows happening this weekend, my own misplaced priorities, and the genesis of Radiohead's blossoming into the most "important" rock band on Earth.

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 #98 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), 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.
