Flatbasset Radio: Episode #110

Thank you for playing the way you play...

Well hello again, everybody. Long time, no see. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #110!

Happy Thanksgiving, folks. Thanks for coming back. I know it's been about a month since my last episode and, as always, I apologize. If you're really all that interested I have the usual list of excuses: busy, sleeping, working, lazy... I'm sorry for the delay. I truly love doing the show and I do appreciate that you've come back again.

Folks, I've got all kinds of jams lined up for Episode #110. A few anniversaries, a RIP to one of my favorite local bands, and RIP to one of my favorite local bars, a celebration of arena rock concerts, some Brooklyn synth-pop, some third-wave ska, a Canadian hip-hop concept album a birthday acknowledgement to one of indie rock's icons, a heartwarming Cover Of The Week, the inaugural voyage of the Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and my annual Thanksgiving Flatbasset Flatclassic.

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

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

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to another edition of Flatbasset Radio's Album Collage Monthly!

No long preamble with this one. I'm neck deep in my busy time of year at one of my jobs and I'm running on fumes right now. Thanks to everybody who's checked out the one episode of Flatbasset Radio I managed to put together this month. I'm sorry I only got one out, but it's a pretty good one. Maybe scroll down & check it out if you have the time?

On that note, let's get to the thing. As always, one "play" equals one song. For example, that new P.O.S album has 12 songs on it, so each time I listen to it front to back it counts as twelve "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.
