It's Minnesota, man, your face will freeze fast...
Well hello again, music fans!
Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #11!
For those of you who are unfamiliar
with our podcast, here's the idea: Each week TCDroogsma participates
in our Songs Of The Week column. Since he's typically pretty
negative, sowe put him in charge of producing and recording a podcast
each week to play us some jams that he actually likes. Of course the
podcast is free to listen to and download.
This week TCDroogsma plays a batch
of cold weather jams, explains the virtue of the cold, laments a lost
search engine, makes a play for Meg White, puts Canada on blast for
excessive punctuation, puts together a Mixed Blood Majority showcase,
finds the common ground between Kill The Vultures & Guided By
Voices, promises a Songs Of The Week bloodbath, explains a joyous
moment when hockey & hip-hop intersected, and explains
power-pop's missing link between Big Star & Fountains Of Wayne!

For more of TCDroogsma's banter, be
sure to give him a follow on Twitter (@TCDroogsma) or on his personal
Flatbasset blog. If this whole Meg White thing works out we're sure
his Twitter will be a hell of a follow.
Newest Industry also has a home on
Twitter (@NewestIndustry1) which you can follow to stay up on the
work being done by all of our contributors. More importantly we have

legitimate way to support the blog. Plus, the “likes” will make
TCDroogsma feel better when Meg White inevitably leaves him.
