Flatbasset Radio: Episode #99

I've never been too good with names...

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #99!

Another Friday, another batch of jams. This week's episode is stuffed full of... ummm... audio goodness? Sure, let's go with that.

I've got twelve songs lined up on this week's show. A few anniversaries, some new local stuff, a show or two to look into, a mysterious local group, the latest from one of Minnesota's most famous ex-pats, the latest from a couple of Minnesota beatmakers, Glasgow's #1 dog-themed indie-pop group, some throwback funk, a Cover Of The Week courtesy of an English blog, an absolute gem of an early 90's classic, and one of the most "important" Flatbasset Flatclassics of all-time.

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

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

Well hello again, everybody. Welcome back to the least consequential column on the internet!

Is it just me or did January fly by?  At this rate it's going to be 2017 before I even start remembering to stop writing 2015 on things. Does this happen to everybody as they get old or was it just this month?

Anyway, another month's passed, which means it's time for a little bit of instant nostalgia. As always, a huge, huge thanks to everybody who checked out the show this month, retweeted the show, or gave it a Facebook "Like." As I'm fond of mentioning, these shows take a lot of time to put together and, as much as I love doing them, a few little internet tokens of acknowledgement are greatly appreciated.

Anyway, here's Flatbasset Radio's Top 25 Most Played Albums of January, 2016. As always, these stats are pulled from my Last.fm page. Give it a follow if you're a super creeper and need to know what I'm listening to all the time.
