Flatbasset Radio: Episode #128

I love the romance of crime...

Well hello again, music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #128!

Folks, it's a stormy Monday night here in Minneapolis, but that doesn't mean we're taking the night off. In fact, if you listen to the show, you'll notice that I recorded it on Saturday night, which means I've already taken several days off - but no more! It's time to get down to business. No agenda, no algorithms, just 12 songs over 57 minutes lovingly assembled by yours truly.

This week's show is 100% jams. I've got a nice slate of new local music, a bit of old local music, some 80's British pop, some 70's LA punk, some 90's alternative, a very meta song about songs, another gem from Community Radio Tapes, our continued exploration of the Disposable America catalog, yet another classic Mozzer B-side, a "high and lonesome" country ballad (waltz time alert!), and, sadly, another in memoriam for an artist lost too soon. All that plus the Cover Of The Week, deep dive into Nate's Archives, a trip in the Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and a quintessentially American 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 #128 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.

I don't wear rubbers and I don't wear sunscreen...

Well hello again, music fans!  Welcome to the second episode of Flatbasset Radio!
