Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #12

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

A special holiday only for me...

Hello again, music fans! Welcome to Episode #12 of our Flatbasset Radio podcast!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the podcast, here's the scoop. Each week TCDroogsma participates in our Songs Of The Week column in which he reviews The Current's Song Of The Day tracks. Since he's usually pretty negative we ask him to record a podcast each week to show us that he does indeed enjoy music and is worthy of the position we've given him here at the blog. The podcast is always free to listen to here on the blog and free to download for on-the-go listening.

This week TCDroogsma discusses which Radiohead album hold up the best, explains the benefit of being a Minnesotan who lived in New York, laments a dead Minneapolis band, celebrates an underrated British band, gets very skeptical about Killa Cam's upcoming concert, tells us what makes Bob Stinson's ghost happy, revisits a mid-90's classic, and keeps the flame of optimism burning for Morrissey.

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #8 (Christmas Spectacular!)

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

If God came down on Christmas day, I know exactly what he'd say...

Well hello again, music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio – Episode #8 (Christmas Spectacular!)

For those who are new to the podcast, here's the story. TCDroogsma is one of our regular contributors. Specifically, he can be found being unnecessarily harsh in our Songs Of The Week column. So, each week we ask him to play us some songs that he actually likes.

Click the player below to listen to TCDroogsma's podcast.

This week TCDroogsma brings us a round of Christmas cheer! In between playing Christmas songs he debates the serving size of egg nog, tries to justify playing Zooey Deschanel & Tom Waits, lets us Americans in on a Boxing Day secret, invites listeners to debate nature of the fabric of his pants, and gives a big thanks to all our readers!

If you somehow want even more TCDroogsma he can be found on Twitter (@TCDroogsma). He can also be found rambling over on his personal blog Flatbasset. No truth to the rumor that he spends his free time casing Whoville.

Newest Industry has a home on Twitter as well (@NewestIndustry1). Give us a follow to stay up on the work being done by our contributors. As TCDroogsma mentions in the podcast, we have a Facebook page here. Trivial as it seems, stopping by and giving us a “like” goes a long way to supporting the blog. It's all we want for Christmas.
