Flatbasset Radio's 25 Most Played Albums: February '16

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to another edition of Things I Listened To On The Bus Monthly!

That's right, another month is in the rear view mirror, which means it's time for a dose of instant nostalgia.

Before we get to the list I'd like to throw a big thank you out to all artists & labels that took a moment to like, share, or retweet the show. I literally have no other means of exposure,so each of those shares means a lot to me.

Of course, those shares don't mean much if nobody listens to the show so I'd like to extend a XXL thank you to anybody who gave it a listen. Hopefully you enjoyed it.

Alright, let's get to the list.

(As always, one "play" equals one song. For example, the new Dizzy Fae mixtape 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. Panther Ray - Twilight Drips (103 plays)

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

Well hello again, folks. Welcome to another edition of Album Collage Monthly!

That's right, we're doing another year of this. 2018 has been an exhausting year and we're only a month into it. Deep freeze, snow storm, deep freeze, Super Bowl... What a time to be a Minneapolitan!

In between curling up with my own basset hound for warmth and navigating the National Guardsmen protecting downtown Minneapolis from Eagles fans I managed to listen to a ton of new music this month.

Before we get to the list, big thank you to everybody who checked out the Countdown shows this month as well as Episode #115. Extra big thanks to anybody who took the time to make a donation to Secondhand Hounds and scooped up a copy of Second-Hand Mix #1. I've never tried anything like that before and it warms my heart to see it having a little success. Those hounds are in a tough spot and every little bit helps.

Alright, let's get to the list.

(As always, one "play" equals one song. For example, the new Happy Children album has 7 songs on it, so each time I listen to it front to back it counts as seven "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. Wet Eyes - Life As Foreign Currency (52 plays)
