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 #50

What ya'll really waaaant? What ya'll really waaaant?

Well hello again, free music fans!  Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #50!

That's right, everybody, we've reached 50 episodes of this damn show.  Before I get into what actually happens on this show I want to say thanks to everybody for tuning in and making this a worthwhile endeavor for this long.  Yes, it's kind of a completely arbitrary thing since I would've done this show whether anybody was listening or not, but it would have been much less fulfilling if you good folks hadn't listened to it.  Thank you.

Both appropriately and unfortunately I'm flying solo on this episode.  No MinneSarah on this episode, so my crap-tacular microphone and I are bringing the show back to its roots: playing stone cold jams while ranting like a lunatic.  Good stuff.  In this episode I discuss just how difficult it is to fuck up Big Star songs, celebrate St. Paul's finest power-pop band, confess to my very limited vocabulary, play a mini-set of Thanksgiving jams, attempt to figure out why Beck keeps turning up on the podcast, praise the value of gravy as it relates to Thanksgiving dinner, rattle of a list of things I'm thankful for this year and, importantly, rattle of a second list of things I am not thankful for, take full advantage of the one and only benefit of MinneSarah taking the week off, decide it's completely normal to have a "soft rock phase" in your early 30's, and go full cornball while bringing a tradition back to the show. All that plus the Cover Of The Week & The Flatbasset Flatclassic!

As always, this episode is available to download or stream.  Just click the episode title below for a download link or click on the Mixcloud player below to stream.
