Flatbasset Radio: Episode #136 (Lost Episode)


I don't ever want to get over it...


Well hello again, everybody! Long time no see!

With everybody under stay-at-home orders I figured now was as good a time as any to dust off last episode I attempted to post. It's been nearly a year since the last episode of the show and if I had anything resembling a long-time fanbase I'm sure they'd be upset.

Anyway, part of the reason this show never got posted was that I got worn out trying to write up each song. It's time consuming and I found that the writing wasn't coming across the way I had hoped. So, long story longer, I'll spare you all the writing and just play the jams. As always we've got the Cover Of The Week, a trip in the Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and the Flatbasset Flatclassic.

OK, I lied, one exception:

Since Episode #135 had gone up in April Ric Ocasek, Kim Shattuck, Ed Ackerson passed away. That's why they all make appearances on this episode.

No agenda, no banter, no algorithms, just 12 songs over 46 minutes to help close out your week.

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