I can't see you making any difference...
Well hello again, podcast fans. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #114!
Yep, we're doing this again. The second half of my annual countdown tradition is here and ready to roll. My robo-co-host Robot Ralph is back and ready to countdown another batch of jams.
First off, thanks to everybody who checked out the countdown of The Current's Song Of The Day tracks on the last episode. I gave it a listen myself the day after it went up and I was still floored by how good those songs are. Fortunately, there's more where that came from.
Now, I've counted down the best of Radio K's Song Of The Day podcast for the last couple of years, however, this year's version is a little different. You see, three quarters of the way through 2016 Radio K decided that their "Track Of The Day" would no longer be an mp3, but rather a Spotify playlist. I can't get behind that. Spotify is trash. I was at a loss.
However, as the old saying goes, even when God closes a door he's still uploading mp3's somewhere else on his site. Radio K is still kind enough to make 95% of their Off The Record sessions available for download. Hallelujah! My weekly dose of the K continues.
As you can imagine, the kids behind Radio K tend to have a much greater hit-to-miss ration than the well-compensated tastemakers over at MPR. Some weeks Off The Record is fire. Others, water? That's the opposite of fire, right? Regardless, it's always interesting and definitely worth your time. Follow this link to head over to their archives and indulge in a tremendous amount of free and, more often than not, local music.
And hell, since we're posting links:

Before I get to the show I want to take a moment to thank those kids who run the show over at Radio K. You're priceless. Still the best, most adventurous radio station in the Twin Cities.
Alright, let's get to the show.
