Flatbasset Radio's 25 Most Played Albums: February '16


Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to another month's worth of instant nostalgia!

Even with a bonus day February flew by. I'm sorry that the posts haven't been too routine. I was very busy and very tired, but I'm trying my best here. Of course, big thank you to everybody who did make the time to check out the couple of Flatbasset Radio episodes I put together this month as well as that P.O.S. MinneClassics show.

The flipside of being so busy means that I likely spent a lot of time on public transit, which means I was able to listen to a ton of music. As you can see below, I covered a lot of ground.

As always, please remember that one song = one play. If I listen to, say, Springsteen's The River once all the way through, it counts as 20 plays. These stats are all pulled from my Last.fm page, which you should definitely follow if you're certain you've checked out absolutely everything else on the internet.

So, without further ado, here's Flatbasset Radio's 25 Most Played Albums Of February, 2016:


01. Edison - The Hand (79 plays)

02. Mixed Blood Majority - Insane World (77 plays)

03. Doks Robotiks - Doks (70 plays)

04. Bruce Springsteen - The River (61 plays)

05. Paul Westerberg - 14 Songs (42 plays)

23. Sayth & North House - Body Pillow (18 plays)

24. The Cure - Greatest Hits (18 plays)

25. Radiohead - In Rainbows (Bonus Disc) (16 plays)

*That blank spot you see is for an album called Lollygag by a local artist called Collage. Does anybody know anything about this band or album? I bought it on a whim over at Cheapo. There does not appear to be any information about it whatsoever on the internet. All I can gather from the album is that it was released in 1994 on Gypsy Gyrl records. It seems to be the project/brainchild of a woman named Terry Blessing. That's actually quite a bit of info, but if anybody knows anymore about it or maybe saw this band back in the 90's, please hit me up in the comment section or over on the Flatbasset Facebook page. Thanks.
