Flatbasset Radio: Episode #76

"Tell your mother, tell your father, send a telegram..."

Well hello again, podcast fans. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #76!

Folks, it's a gorgeous day outside, so I'd like to take moment to thank you for passing up enjoying the outdoors to spend some time sitting at a computer listening to me rabble on about music.

In this week's episode I pay tribute to one of hip-hop's most underrated builders, get a head start on some of North Carolina's finest pop-punk, reprimand Radiohead for their "tour," drop an 18:00+ Minnesota music hat trick, take a quick trip across the border to Wisconsin for some guitar-based redemption, check in on those incorrigible upstarts over at Pytch Records, revisit an underrated record from the 2000's "Rock Revival," and go back 50 (!) years to celebrate one of the most important American pop albums of all time. All that plus the Cover Of The Week, Flatbasset Flatclassic, and more banter than anybody could ever want.

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

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #27

I use a walkie talkie just to get a beverage...

Hello again, free music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #27!
 
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!

In this week's episode TCDroogsma indulges in some warm weather jams, explains why spending winter in rural Wisconsin is a bad idea, recalls the most passive-aggressive concert audience he's ever seen,  ties his Cover Of The Week & its singer together in pathos, thinks Drake deserves more credit for his work outside of music, discusses the best way to stay warm during a polar vortex, wonders just what happened to hearty Minnesotans, indulges in a Scottish set,  lays some blame at Stuart Murdoch's feet,  fails to live up to his obligations as a "31 year old, skinny, bearded white guy," impolores one of indie rock's cult favorites to reform, pays tribute to a musician who passed too young, & loses a sponsor!
