Flatbasset Radio's 25 Most Played Albums - April '17


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

That's right, folks, it's the first of May already and guess what? It fucking snowed today. I love you, Minnesota, but does it have to be like this? It's May! Come on!

Anyway, it's time for a little bit of instant nostalgia. Before I get to it though, just a quick thanks to everybody who checked out the last couple of shows. If you didn't notice, I got back behind the microphone for Ep. #94 and, while it probably did not improve the show for you, it felt great to add what little personality I have back to the show. Thanks for sticking with it.

Alright, let's get to it. I listened to a tremendous amount of music this month. Here are the 25 albums that got the most spins around Planet New Basset.

(As always, one "play" equals one song. For example, that new Chinchees album has 11 songs on it, so each time I listen to it front to back it counts as eleven "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. The Chinchees - The Chinchees (79 plays)

02. Craig Finn - We All Want The Same Things (70 plays)

03. Prince - Prince (63 plays)

04. Talking Heads - Talking Heads: 77 (55 plays)

05. Various Artists - Unpop 146 (53 plays)

06. Big Quarters - Cost Of Living (42 plays)

07. Propagandhi - Less Talk, More Rock (42 plays)

08. Fountains Of Wayne - Traffic And Weather (42 plays)

09. Beastie Boys - Check Your Head (40 plays)

10. T.D. Mischke - The Best Of The Mischke Broadcast (40 plays)

11. The Early Americans - Aha! Airmen Secretly (39 plays)

12. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Baby 81 (39 plays)

13. Bright Eyes - Cassadaga (39 plays)

14. The Church - Gold Afternoon Fix (39 plays)

15. Angelic Upstarts - Reason Why? (39 plays)

16. Davenport - Davenport (38 plays)

17. Romantics - America (36 plays)

18. Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare (36 plays)

19. Millencolin - For Monkeys (36 plays)

20. No Age - Nouns (36 plays)

21. Jawbreaker - Unfun (36 plays)

22. Greg Grease - Astral Beat Theories Vol. 3 (35 plays)

23. Descendents - Hypercaffium Spazzinate (35 plays)

24. Richard Ashcroft - Alone With Everybody (34 plays)

25. Brian Eno - Here Come The Warm Jets (30 plays)

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #94


Let me rant & let me ramble...


Well hello everybody! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #94!

April has nearly passed, so I figured I should get my lazy ass back to work. This week's episode features the... not "triumphant"... adequate return of my hosting duties. That's right, I'm back on the mic. That's not the only reason to tune into this week's show. Hell, I'm just hoping that's not an actual deterrent from you checking out the show. This week's show if full of some excellent jams.

I've got some new local jams, some old local jams, some "in memoriam's," old stuff from great bands, old stuff from not so great bands, lost gems, the Cover Of The Week, and, as always, the Flatbasset Flatclassic. I also discuss overheating in the studio,  the reason I got back behind the microphone, Ben Folds' obituary, the time Kings Of Leon went for it and failed, spacing your coffee out so you peak at the right time (I did not to do this well), the moment Bad Religion started pulling apart their sound, the new direction of Lunch Duchess, the unrelenting consistency of Poliça, & respecting Jay Bennett on his own terms. It's really quite the show.

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