Pick up your paws and let's dance...
Well hello again, free music fans! Welcome to the 16th edition of Flatbasset Radio!
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Flatbasset Radio here's the story: TCDroogsma is our resident MP3 junkie. As you may have noticed from his Songs Of The Week column, he's old and he's grouchy. So, to prove to us that he does actually like music, we invite him to share his weekly podcast with us. He play some songs, says some things, songs, things, etc... and he ends it all with his Flatbasset Flat Classic Song Of The Week!
This week's edition is a special edition indeed. TCDroogsma decided to celebrate Minnesota's 155th birthday by rambling on for two solid hours of Minnesota music! Along the way he drinks a little too much beer, explains which app he won't use (hint: it rhymes with 'Wine'), explains what Twin Cities band is like a drug, shares the soundtrack to his life as a silent film, puts The Current on blast, gets confused as to whether or not there's a Minnesota Music Hall Of Fame, tells people who are unfamiliar with Prince where to go, implies that more bands should emulate Steely Dan, confuses a 15 year old version of himself, ruins all the sexiness of two of the Twin Cities sexiest artists, and declares Dave Pirner one of life's winners!
All that, plus the constant celebration of Minnesota's birthday! It's all gay weddings and spaceship football stadiums from here on out people!
As always, the podcast is free to download and/or free to stream right here on Newest Industry. You can't beat that price. Give 'em a listen.
