Flatbasset Radio: Episode #94

Let me rant & let me ramble...

Well hello everybody! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #94!

April has nearly passed, so I figured I should get my lazy ass back to work. This week's episode features the... not "triumphant"... adequate return of my hosting duties. That's right, I'm back on the mic. That's not the only reason to tune into this week's show. Hell, I'm just hoping that's not an actual deterrent from you checking out the show. This week's show if full of some excellent jams.

I've got some new local jams, some old local jams, some "in memoriam's," old stuff from great bands, old stuff from not so great bands, lost gems, the Cover Of The Week, and, as always, the Flatbasset Flatclassic. I also discuss overheating in the studio,  the reason I got back behind the microphone, Ben Folds' obituary, the time Kings Of Leon went for it and failed, spacing your coffee out so you peak at the right time (I did not to do this well), the moment Bad Religion started pulling apart their sound, the new direction of Lunch Duchess, the unrelenting consistency of Poliça, & respecting Jay Bennett on his own terms. It's really quite the show.

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

Flatbasset Radio's 25 Most Played Albums - March '17

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to another installment of Shit I Listened To While I Rode The Lightrail!

Sorry I'm a couple days late with this one. My busy March has bled into the beginning of April, so I've been doing quite a bit of working and not quite enough sleeping. I know you're all just dying to know what I've been listening to lately, so here we go.

As always, one "play" equals one song. For example, that new Good Doom album has 10 songs on it, so each time I listen to it front to back it counts as ten "plays." As usual, all stats come from my Last.FM page. Give it a follow if you really want to stay up on what's getting the most plays around Planet New Basset
