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.
