Flatbasset Radio: Episode #120

Can't just pull out all the fuses and start over...

Well hello again, podcast fans. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #120!

Folks, April is upon us and, while the weather my be cold, this week's show is packed with white hot jams to help keep you warm. 12 songs, 58 minutes, always free to stream/download.

On Episode #120 we check out one of L.A.'s most underrated bands, check out some local grooves, try to help some 90's power-poppers shed the "one hit wonder" label, spotlight some upcoming local shows, check in with Minneapolis' most popular singer, indulge in a couple guitar freakouts, continue our deep dive into the Father/Daughter Records catalog, and go to bat for Zooey Deschanel. All that plus some anniversaries, the Cover Of The Week, a dive into Nate's Archives, a spin in the Minnesota Way-Back Machine, and the 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 #120 (with all the appropriate iTunes tagging), just click here.

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #5

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

This was my dream... playing a rockin' routine...

Well hello again, music fans!  TCDroogsma is back with Flatbasset Radio - Episode #5!

For those of you stopping by for the first time, TCDroogsma is one of our regular contributors.  He typically sticks to the twin indulgences of food and music.  Each week we have him put together a podcast of roughly an hour's worth of music broken up sporadically by his nasally banter.

As you can see, Tuesday night is now going to be the new home of the podcast.  We realize that this puts Flatbasset Radio up against Tuesdays With Lazerbeak and Tuesday Morning Quarterback.  We're hoping that you'll soon consider Flatbasset Radio in the same breath as those two internet institutions.  Call it the Tuesday Hat Trick.

Anyway, this week found TCDroogsma in a rather sour mood.  Fortunately he managed to talk himself back into a better place by leaning on loud guitars, hometown jams, asian women, Twin Cities ex-pats, yet another stroll back to the 90's, and a Minneapolis icon.  Click the embedded player to have a listen or click the title to download the podcast and take it on the go.

For more of the kind of emo TCDroogsma he can be found on Twitter (@TCDroogsma).  He also maintains his own Flatbasset blog, though it mainly consists of the work he does here.  If you ever meet him in person don't let his beard throw you off, he's not a handsome man.

Of course Newest Industry also lives on Twitter (@NewestIndustry1).  Give that a follow to stay up on all the work being done by our contributors.  More importantly we also have a Facebook page. Stopping by and giving us a "like" is the best way to support this blog without any sort of financial obligation.  If we get to 50 likes we're going to make TCDroogsma shave his beard.
