Flatbasset Radio: Episode #98

I'm on a roll this time...

Well hello again, podcast fans. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #98!

Another Friday, another episode of Flatbasset Radio. Thanks for stopping by everyone. I've got a hell of a show here for you. 12 songs, 55 minutes, some local stuff, some upcoming shows, a nice batch of anniversaries, the Cover Of The Week, and, of course, the Flatbasset Flatclassic.

Along the way I discuss wasting a gorgeous Friday afternoon, the way time blurs the specifics of genres, a belated reuniting of a Twin Cities fave, my favorite song off the new Forged Artifacts comp, a great Minneapolis producer, shows happening this weekend, my own misplaced priorities, and the genesis of Radiohead's blossoming into the most "important" rock band on Earth.

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #97

I'll say what this means to me, I'll do what I can...

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #97!

That's right, folks! Four weeks in a row! I think that may be the first time that's happened in the history of this, ahem... weekly podcast. Good times.

This week's show is filled with all the things you've come to know & love about the Flatbasset Radio podcast. I've got some new local stuff, some old local stuff, some classic pop, some beats, some hip-hop, some anniversaries, the Cover Of The Week, and a particularly heartbreaking Flatbasset Flatclassic.

Along the way I review a big-time show at the Xcel Center, highlight some upcoming shows around town, explain how to game the Green Line system, lose all of my credibility for the third straight week, struggle to remember concerts from a decade ago, celebrate some 35 year old Australian low-fi dub (yeah, really...), struggle with pronunciation, rehash my story of the best show I've ever seen, and do my best to memorialize yet another 90's icon gone too soon.

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

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #96

Reached the bottom and now we're just looking forward...

Well hello again, podcast fans. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #96.

Folks, it's a gorgeous Friday here in Minneaolis, so I appreciate the fact that you've neglected your family, friends, & community to stay inside and listen to me mumble through another show.

This marks three straight Fridays with a new show which, for a purportedly "weekly" show shouldn't be much of an accomplishment, but if you've been following along you know just how rare it is that I get my shit together for three straight weeks.

This week's show if full of jams. Local music, indie rock, hip-hop collectives, classic punk, some anniversaries, some power-pop, some big, dumb, rock music, the Cover Of The Week, & the Flatbasset Flatclassic. Along the way we discuss why I should probably avoid talking politics on the show, prog or not-prog, indie rock in a post-Vampire-Weekend world, shoegaze of the Far East, the worst substitute for Conference Final hockey, some upcoming concerts, the low point of one of America's great pop-punk bands, and the greatest song in the history of mankind. Good stuff, for sure.

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

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #95

They'll even print my recipe for pasta with pesto...

Well hello again, podcast fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #95!

I'm back on my hosting grind again this week. I've got all kinds of jams on this one - local rock, anniversaries, upcoming shows, some indie rock lifers, classic hip-hop, local electro-pop, the Cover Of The Week, and, as always, the Flatbasset Flatclassic!

Along the way I work in some discussion about the state of Planet New Basset (hint: not great), the state of the unions (hint: not much better), the career trajectory of Arctic Monkeys, finding hope in 80's punk, confused spelling, shows for charity, shows for your enjoyment, international Jawbreaker Day, the story of how Johnny Marr joined Modest Mouse, putting faith in Millenials, the beauty of the horn coda, and a heavy discussion about this week's Flatclassic.
