Flatbasset Radio: Episode #129

I've had all that I can take today...

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #129!

Folks, I know it's been a few weeks since put up a new show and believe me, you have my most sincere apologies for that. I wanted to do the show, but I've been doing nothing but working, sweating, and napping in this godforsaken heat bubble of a city that I just didn't get it done. My bad. I'm back, though, better than ever.

This week's show is front-to-back bangers. I've got plenty of new local music, some throwback local jams, a batch of anniversaries (funny how a few weeks off does that), a couple new West Coast obsessions, our continued exploration of the Disposable America catalog, our weekly deep dive into Nate's Archives, the Cover Of The Week, a trip in the Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and, of course, 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 #129 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.



Here's how Ep. #129 plays out:

01. The Regrets - Houndstooth

02. Haley (fka Haley Bonar) - Big Star

03. British Sea Power - Come Wander With Me

04. Lunch Duchess - Ride Or Die

05. Naked Raygun - Rat Patrol

06. Lost Film (fka Orca Orca) - Tomorrow

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #97

I'll say what this means to me, I'll do what I can...

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #97!

That's right, folks! Four weeks in a row! I think that may be the first time that's happened in the history of this, ahem... weekly podcast. Good times.

This week's show is filled with all the things you've come to know & love about the Flatbasset Radio podcast. I've got some new local stuff, some old local stuff, some classic pop, some beats, some hip-hop, some anniversaries, the Cover Of The Week, and a particularly heartbreaking Flatbasset Flatclassic.

Along the way I review a big-time show at the Xcel Center, highlight some upcoming shows around town, explain how to game the Green Line system, lose all of my credibility for the third straight week, struggle to remember concerts from a decade ago, celebrate some 35 year old Australian low-fi dub (yeah, really...), struggle with pronunciation, rehash my story of the best show I've ever seen, and do my best to memorialize yet another 90's icon gone too soon.

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

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #81 (American Album Hall Of Fame Vol. 2)

If being afraid is a crime we'll hang side by side...

Well hello again, everybody! Welcome to the second annual installment of the Flatbasset Radio American Album Hall Of Fame!

That's right, folks, continuing the tradition we started during 4th Of July week last year, I'm back to induct six new albums to the Hall Of Fame. If you're new to the FRAAHOF (of "Fraaaahhoooffff..."), feel free to go back and check out the inaugural class from 2015 that made up the two parts of Flatbasset Radio: Episode #61.

This year I'm covering yet another wide-swath of American music. Before we get to the albums, though, here's a quick reminder of the FRAAHOF's crieria:

01. An album must be at least 10 years old to be inducted into the FRAAHOF

02. Only 6 albums per year may be inducted

03. Only 2 of those 6 albums may have been released over 30 years ago

04. No artist can appear in consecutive years 

So, with those criteria in mind, here's a look at this year's inductees:

Hell of a class, no? As per usual, I'll be playing three songs off each of the albums being inducted and talk for far too long about each of them. Sound good? Well, too bad, you get what you pay for.

So, now that you know, here's what the Flatbasset Radio American Album Hall Of Fame looks like as of today:

Pretty fuckin' sharp, eh? Alright, let's get to the show.

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 #81 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), click here for Part I & here for Part II

Newest Industry Presents - Flatbasset Radio: Episode #42

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

You need proof? Get brandy...

Hello, podcast fans!  Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #42!

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!

TCDroogsma is back flyin' solo for Episode #42.  In this week's show he explains why he's solo, plays a request from one of his regular listeners, declares Purple Rain one of God's favorite albums, explains Flatbasset Radio's DTS policy, discusses the breakout star of the 10K Sounds Festival, struggles to read, laments the passing of the last original Ramone, celebrates one of hip-hop's great hooks, indulges in one of his all-time favorite "summer bands," and talks about his favorite concert ever.  All that plus the Cover Of The Week and the Flatbasset Flatclassic!

You can download the podcast for free by clicking the episode's title or stream the episode by clicking on the Mixcloud player below.
