Flatbasset Radio: Episode #121

Our enemies lay dead upon the ground but still we kick...

Well hello again, music fans. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #121!

Believe it or not, folks, it's another miserable, rainy Friday here in Minneapolis. I decided the best way to cope was to stay in & keep myself comfy by the warmth of these jams. You're welcome to join me.

This week's show is packed full-to-the-brim with jams. I've got some great new local music, a perfect entry point for one of the great punk bands of all-time, our continued exploration of the Father/Daughter Records catalog, get into a little lo-fi indie rock, a little alt-country, a little east coast shoegaze, say goodbye to one of the great American bands of the last 20 years, and mourn the death of Brit Pop. All that plus the Cover Of The Week, a deep dive into Nate's Archives, a trip 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 #121 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.

01. Beautyness - Funny Old Life

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #99

I've never been too good with names...

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #99!

Another Friday, another batch of jams. This week's episode is stuffed full of... ummm... audio goodness? Sure, let's go with that.

I've got twelve songs lined up on this week's show. A few anniversaries, some new local stuff, a show or two to look into, a mysterious local group, the latest from one of Minnesota's most famous ex-pats, the latest from a couple of Minnesota beatmakers, Glasgow's #1 dog-themed indie-pop group, some throwback funk, a Cover Of The Week courtesy of an English blog, an absolute gem of an early 90's classic, and one of the most "important" Flatbasset Flatclassics of all-time.
