Flatbasset Radio: Episode #115

Everyone proclaims laptop ignorance...

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #115!

Folks, we're back to our regularly scheduled program this weeks. 12 songs, 60 minutes, some banter... you know the drill by now

In this week's show I talk about the impenetrability of The Fall's catalog, the pride of Zion, IL, my growing appreciation of physical media, a lost Minneapolis band, label comps, my unapologetic love of Las Vegas' finest pop band, the complications surrounding the death of artists from your youth, and the communal nature of professional sports. All that plus the Cover Of The Week, Nate's Archives, 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 #115 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.



Here's how Ep. #115 plays out:

01. Color TV - Paroxeteens

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #51 (Christmas Special!)

We kissed on a corner then danced through the night...

Well hello again, podcast fans!  Welcome to a special Christmas Edition of Flatbasset Radio!

First thing's first, yes, I realize I'm posting this Christmas episode awfully late in the day.  I had my own Christmas obligations over the last few days and I just didn't have the time to put it together until now.  Fortunately for you, loyal listeners, this mix is less "Christmas Pre-Gaming" and more "Christmas Comedown."  So, whether you're on your way home from the in-laws, cleaning up wrapping paper, or just out-and-out wrecked on egg nog, you should probably pop this one on.

As an added Christmas bonus, this week's episode does not contain even one word from me!  That's right, no muffled microphone, no angry ranting, no non-sequitirs, and absolutely none of my nasally voice!  As you can see from the tracklist, the Cover Of The Week is still here as is our traditional Christmas Flatbasset Flatclassic (only the birth of Jesus Christ could provide a holiday worthy of making peace with Tom Waits).  It's just 40 minutes of straight Christmas jams!

As always, this episode is available to download or stream.  Just click the episode title below for a download link or click on the Mixcloud player below to stream.

Newest Industry Presents - Flatbasset Radio: Episode #39 (w/MinneSarah

(THIS POST ORIGINALLY APPEARS ON THE TWIN CITIES BLOG NEWEST INDUSTRY)

I need some time in the sun-shee-yine...

Hello, podcast fans!  Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #39!

For those of you who are unaware of the Flatbasset Radio format, here's what you're looking at: TCDroogsma is our resident MP3 junkie. As you've probably noticed in his Songs Of The Week column, he's not always the most positive music fan. In an effort to prove that he is, in fact, a fan of music, we give him an hour each week to play the songs he's digging and talk a little bit about them. Once he's recorded his podcast we put it right here on the website for free to stream and/or download!

For the second straight week TCDroogsma ventured to St. Paul to share co-hosting duties with MinneSarah.  Along the way they discuss the new Twin Cities "It Boy," the origin of Madison, Wisconsin, the career of Las Vegas' greatest band, their "radio personas," the power of rock n roll duos, songs to soundtrack mowing the lawn, the sexiness of Norah Jones, lessons learned from "Family Guy," a great show that's coming up this weekend, why you probably shouldn't come to Flatbasset Radio for the latest in hip-hop, whether or not 1994 was the pinnacle of human evolution, how rock bands no longer aim for universal appeal, and whether or not Oasis was better than The Beatles!  All that plus your Cover Of The Week & Flatbasset Flatclassic!
