Flatbasset Radio: Episode #77

I know it's dumb to say, but turnabout's fair play...

Well hello again, everybody! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #77!

Come for the jams, slog through the banter!


In this week's episode I admonish my own listeners for staying inside and listening to the show, defend Paul Westerberg's solo career, discuss an arena show by one of rock's most iconic bands that met my expectations squarely, check in with one of power-pop's great singers, attempt to rescue a Carl Barat side-project from the dustbin of history, admire Aesop Rock's storytelling, discuss yet another arena show by yet another of rock's most iconic that absolutely surpassed my expectations, & take a victory lap with one of the 90's most underrated bands. All that plus a bunch of anniversaries, the Cover Of The Week, & the Flatbasset Flatclassic!

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #20

(THIS POST ORIGINALLY APPEARS ON THE TWIN CITIES BLOG NEWEST INDUSTRY)

America's number one statistical faux pas...

Hello again, free music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #20!
 
For those of you who are unaware of the Flatbasset Radio format, here's what you're looking at: TCDroogsma is our resident MP3 junkie. As you've probably noticed in his Songs Of The Week column, he's not always the most positive music fan. In an effort to prove that he is, in fact, a fan of music, we give him an hour each week to play the songs he's digging and talk a little bit about them. Once he's recorded his podcast we put it right here on the website for free to stream!

In this week's edition TCDroogsma remains laid up, dedicates a song to his new TV addiction, explains the name of his latest Newest Industry column, incorrectly predicts the outcome of a hockey game, pines for the hospital lifestyle, goes to the well of "Nineties-sounding" repeatedly, and explains how a film helped him remain confident before going under the knife.

You can download the podcast for free by clicking the episode's title or stream the episode by clicking on the Mixcloud player below.

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #4 (Thanksgiving Special!)

(THIS POST ORIGINALLY APPEARS ON THE TWIN CITIES BLOG NEWEST INDUSTRY.)

"Fruits, veggies, rice, beans, fryin' the tofu..."

Well hello again, free music fans!

Our old friend TCDroogsma is back with his Flatbasset podcast.  This week TCDroogsma puts together a whole episode with a Thanksgiving theme!  Or at least, he tries to, and that's really the best we can hope for the young man.

Click on the embedded player below to listen to the podcast.  You'll get to hear TCDroogsma struggle to find a common thread between Jeff Tweedy, Kanye West, John Lennon, & Milo Aukerman.  You'll also get to hear reason #530 why Minnesota is better than everything.  He also calls out the Ying Yang Twins & Kendrick Lamar, places football above family, and lusts over the way things were back in 1996.  Good times all around.



Of course you can click the below to download the podcast so you'll have something to listen to while making the long drive to your parents' house for the holiday.

If, for some reason, that's not enough TCDroogsma he can be followed on Twitter (@TCDroogsma).  He can also be found rambling on over at Flatbasset, his personal blog.  There's a 45% chance that he's already holiday drunk, so don't take any of his ramblings TOO seriously.

Of course Newest Industry also lives on Twitter (@NewestIndustry1).  Give us a follow to stay up on the work being done by all of our contributors.  More importantly, we have a Facebook page here. Stopping by and giving us a "like" is honestly the best way to support the blog short of just throwing money at us.  We'd all be awfully THANKFUL if you gave us a "like."
