Flatbasset Radio: Episode #108

Think I'll take to the sidewalk...

Well hello there, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #108.

Folks, I hope all is well in your world. I've been away for a minute and for that I'm sorry. I promise it won't happen again*.

That said, I've got one hell of a show lined up for you this week. I've got some great new local music, a pile of anniversaries, a couple of soundtracks of note, a disbanding local group, the germs of one of the great American alternative rock bands, sliced up fingers, concert memories, again, unfortunately, too many "in memoriams," the Cover Of The Week, and a predictable but nonetheless fantastic Flatbasset Flatclassic.

*All Flatbasset Radio promises are subject to change. Promises not valid in North America, Central America, South America, most of Europe, and any remaining countries/territories/principalities.

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #72

Party's in here, we don't need to go out...

Well hello again, podcast fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #72!

First things first, a tremendous thank you to everybody who checked out the last couple of episodes. I have a ball putting together those "Best Of..." shows and I hope you had a ball listening to them.

However, now that 2015 is behind us, it's time to look ahead. This week's episode consists of jams, a good Scott Weiland rant, new Kanye, more jams getting the names of songs wrong, indie-prog, an introduction to Pytch records, some advice for getting through the winter, hot jams, gloom-pop, and a little bit of peace-making with my arch nemesis David Bowie. All that plus a batch of local jams, the Cover Of The Week, and the Flatbasset Flatclassic!

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

Flatbasset Radio's 50 Most Played Albums: June '15

Well hello again, everybody.  Welcome to yet another installment of the least interesting thing on the internet (well, except for Tidal).  It's the beginning of a new month, which means it's time to recap my most played albums from the previous month with a vague collage and no real explanation!

Before I hash out the list I just want to mention that June was a pretty tough month here at Planet New Basset.  The blog and show's namesake & mascot Margo (aka Flatbasset) had a bit of a health scare this month that took up a lot of time, money, and energy.  I won't bore you with the specifics of it all, but she looks like she's getting through it.  She's a tough gal.  Send some positive thoughts her way.

Alright, let's get into it.  As always, one "play" = one song.  So an album with ten songs on it would be registered as ten "plays."  Larger pictures indicate more plays.

01. Clementine - Crooked Brain (51 plays)

02. Frankie Teardrop - Demos / B-Sides (42 plays)

03. Wild Ghosts - Joy Ranch Sessions (42 plays)
