Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to yet another installment of the least compelling running post on a blog filled with them. That's right, it's time for another edition of Flatbasset Radio's 50 Most Played Albums of the last month.
Now, I know it hasn't been a particularly productive month here at Planet New Basset. What can I say, I'm a very busy & tired guy, so real world work & sleeping take up a lot of my time. Fortunately (or, perhaps unfortunately), that lack of productivity only applies to the blog as I still found time to listen to a ton of records throughout May. Let's have a look:
(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. Johnny Marr - Playland (89 plays)
02. Blur - The Magic Whip (84 plays)
03. Tree Blood - I Am A Disgusting Pig (70 plays)
04. Edger - Rudiments (42 plays)

There it is, folks. Good stuff. Try to stay tuned to the blog or the Flatbasset Radio Facebook page. I've got three new episodes of the show nearly finished, so there'll be plenty of jams & ranting throughout June. Of course you can always check out the old jams by heading over to my Mixcloud page if you're really desperate to hear my nasally voice ramble on about things nobody cares about.
