Flatbasset Radio: Episode #97

I'll say what this means to me, I'll do what I can...

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #97!

That's right, folks! Four weeks in a row! I think that may be the first time that's happened in the history of this, ahem... weekly podcast. Good times.

This week's show is filled with all the things you've come to know & love about the Flatbasset Radio podcast. I've got some new local stuff, some old local stuff, some classic pop, some beats, some hip-hop, some anniversaries, the Cover Of The Week, and a particularly heartbreaking Flatbasset Flatclassic.

Along the way I review a big-time show at the Xcel Center, highlight some upcoming shows around town, explain how to game the Green Line system, lose all of my credibility for the third straight week, struggle to remember concerts from a decade ago, celebrate some 35 year old Australian low-fi dub (yeah, really...), struggle with pronunciation, rehash my story of the best show I've ever seen, and do my best to memorialize yet another 90's icon gone too soon.

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 #97 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.

Newest Industry Presents - Flatbasset Radio: Episode #23

Everything's gonna be alright...

Hello again, free music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #23!
 
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!

In this week's episode Droogsy plays us a song that helps him get through the day, debuts the new feature: Cover Of The Week, discusses his favorite late-90's glam rock film, gets an answer to the question: Does San Diego have an underground music scene, fawns over the Turf Club, declares a band that didn't even fill the Turf Club "An American treasure, mispronounces another artist's name, and wishes his dad a happy birthday!
