Flatbasset Radio: Episode #98

I'm on a roll this time...

Well hello again, podcast fans. Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #98!

Another Friday, another episode of Flatbasset Radio. Thanks for stopping by everyone. I've got a hell of a show here for you. 12 songs, 55 minutes, some local stuff, some upcoming shows, a nice batch of anniversaries, the Cover Of The Week, and, of course, the Flatbasset Flatclassic.

Along the way I discuss wasting a gorgeous Friday afternoon, the way time blurs the specifics of genres, a belated reuniting of a Twin Cities fave, my favorite song off the new Forged Artifacts comp, a great Minneapolis producer, shows happening this weekend, my own misplaced priorities, and the genesis of Radiohead's blossoming into the most "important" rock band on Earth.

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

Flatbasset Radio: Episode #56

Get bit by the hounds...

Well hello again, everybody!  Welcome back to Flatbasset Radio!

As I mentioned in a previous post, I was incredibly busy in March as such I haven't been able to post a new show in about six weeks.  Sorry.  I'm a busy guy.  You know what they say about the devil & idle hands...

Anyway, I'm back and I promise you that I will crank out new blog posts and new episodes of the podcast all summer long.  Word is bond, son, word is bond.

So, let's get on with it then.  In this week's show I attempt to justify my month-long absence from the show, play a forgotten jam from 2014, attempt to explain how Tim Armstrong was my Dylan, discuss my expectations of Blur's reunion, celebrate the anniversary of Bloc Party's best album, dig into my theory as to why EP's are sometimes the best work an artist puts out, struggle, yet again, to pronounce "Citroën," and, as is par for the course, go all fanboy on a Smiths Flatbasset Flatclassic.  All of that plus all the popped "P's" and audio drop-outs you can possibly stomach.  Enjoy!

As always, this episode is available to stream for free. Just click the Mixcloud player below
