Flatbasset Radio: Episode #58

Don't be sad at all...

Well hello again, pseudo-radio fans!  Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #58!

That's right, for the first time in as long as I can remember I managed to actually post two episodes a week apart.  I feel like you owe it to me to give this one a listen.

I'm flying solo yet again this week (long story), but I still managed to complain about the NHL playoffs, wonder about my dog's actions, fall for a rapper's (possibly false) back story, struggle with my French accent, begin the healing process with America's largest purveyor of exceptionally addictive coffee, rail against this "May the fourth be with you" crap, make a case for 2015 as one of the greatest music years ever, reintroduce Sweden's greatest hardcore band, revisit a classic from my teenage years, celebrate the redemptive power of loud guitars, and remember how ridiculous I was in my 20's.  All that plus the Cover Of The Week & the Flatbasset Flatclassic!

As always, Flatbasset Radio is completely free. Just click the Mixcloud player below and you're good to go.

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #15

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

My head's so big you can't sit behind me...

Well hello again, free music fans! Welcome to Episode #15 of Flatbasset Radio!

For those of you unfamiliar with the podcast, here's the story: TCDroogsma is a music junkie. So much so that just writing our Songs Of The Week column is not enough for him. So, in addition to reviewing songs each week, he records this podcast and we give it away as a free download or streaming right here on Newest Industry.

Episode #15 represents the triumphant return of the podcast after a month off. In this episode TCDroogsma calls for The Smiths to stay broken up, tries to explain why indie rappers are so quick to defend Lil' Wayne, stumps for his favorite spring album, gives The Strokes career advice, and deems one of the most over-the-top acts of the last decade “classic.”
