Flatbasset Radio: Episode #136 (Lost Episode)

I don't ever want to get over it...

Well hello again, everybody! Long time no see!

With everybody under stay-at-home orders I figured now was as good a time as any to dust off last episode I attempted to post. It's been nearly a year since the last episode of the show and if I had anything resembling a long-time fanbase I'm sure they'd be upset.

Anyway, part of the reason this show never got posted was that I got worn out trying to write up each song. It's time consuming and I found that the writing wasn't coming across the way I had hoped. So, long story longer, I'll spare you all the writing and just play the jams. As always we've got the Cover Of The Week, a trip in the Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and the Flatbasset Flatclassic.

OK, I lied, one exception:

Since Episode #135 had gone up in April Ric Ocasek, Kim Shattuck, Ed Ackerson passed away. That's why they all make appearances on this episode.

No agenda, no banter, no algorithms, just 12 songs over 46 minutes to help close out your week.

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

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #117

Perhaps it isn't what you wanted or even what you're looking for...

Well hello again, everybody! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #117!

That's right, folks, it's a rare Monday afternoon episode of the show. I had planned on getting the show done on Friday, but I was unfortunately waylaid by a cold, a hockey game, and work. These things happen. Someday they'll pay me to do these shows and then I won't have any more excuses.

If you're a fan of the show you likely know what you're getting into with Episode #117. I've got jams on jams on banter on more jams. Along the way I discuss overrated albums of the 90's, underrated albums of the 90's, trying to do my part to support indie labels, French guitar instrumentals, the resurfacing of the old "Minneapolis Sound," one of my favorite Twin Cities producers, my latest Glaswegian obsession, and plenty more. Of course I also have the Cover Of The Week, a 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 #117 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.
