Flatbasset Radio: Episode #122

I can't seem to keep a straight face...

Well hello again, music fans. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #122!

Folks, it's a gorgeous spring day here in Minneapolis. The kind of day that makes you want to open your windows and listen to some jams while you do a bit of spring cleaning.

This week's show is full of jams to help you embrace the sunshine. Some new stuff from a Twin Cities ex-pat, old British trip-hop, old Minnesotan hip-hop, New Jersey's finest punk rock, NYC's finest soft-focus loops, a lost gem from the most iconic English band of the last 20 years, some garage rock, some proggy-folk (or folky-prog) as we continue exploring the Father/Daughter catalog, a late 2000's supergroup, and one of my favorite new voices out of L.A. All that plus the Cover Of The Week, deep dive into Nates Archives, a short spin in the Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and an absolute stunner of a 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 #122 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.

Flatbasset Radio's 25 Most Played Albums: June '16

Well hello again, album art collage fans! Welcome to another edition of Shit I Listened To Last Month!

Folks, June is in the books and summer's in full swing. As always, I'd like to take a moment to thank everybody who stopped by the Flatbasset blog over the last month to read the album write-ups. An extra big thanks to anybody who took the time to listen to the podcast. Still love doing it, hope you like listening to it.

As per usual, I listened to a bunch of music this past month. Lots of great new stuff, digging into some old stuff.... you know how it goes.

Before I get to the stats, the usual reminder: Every song listened to counts as a "play." Seems obvious, right? So, for example, Garrison Grouse's excellent new record has 11 songs, meaning each time I listen to it all the way through it counts 11 "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.

Alright, here we go...

01. Metasota - #RUMDMT (91 plays)
