Flatbasset Radio: Episode #120

Can't just pull out all the fuses and start over...

Well hello again, podcast fans. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #120!

Folks, April is upon us and, while the weather my be cold, this week's show is packed with white hot jams to help keep you warm. 12 songs, 58 minutes, always free to stream/download.

On Episode #120 we check out one of L.A.'s most underrated bands, check out some local grooves, try to help some 90's power-poppers shed the "one hit wonder" label, spotlight some upcoming local shows, check in with Minneapolis' most popular singer, indulge in a couple guitar freakouts, continue our deep dive into the Father/Daughter Records catalog, and go to bat for Zooey Deschanel. All that plus some anniversaries, the Cover Of The Week, a dive into Nate's Archives, a spin in the Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and the 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 #120 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.

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

Rabbit Rabbit everybody! Another month is in the books, which means it's time for a hit of instant nostalgia. Here's a look at Flatbasset Radio's 25 Most Played Albums Of March 2018.

You know what they about March, right? In like a lion, out like another damn snowstorm! Not cool, March, not cool. Sorry I was only able to get one episode of the show posted this month. I was working like a dog and just couldn't find the time. Believe me, if the only person more annoyed by my inconsistency than you is me. I love doing the show, but I had almost no time to myself this month. Work on work on work.

I did, however, have plenty of time to listen to music as I rode the lightrail from job to job, day after day, week after week. I suppose every snow-bearing cloud has its silver lining.

Alright, let's get to the list.

(As always, one "play" equals one song. For example, the new Dessa 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.)
