Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #26 (Best Of 2013!)

I'll keep playing back these fragments of time...

Hello again, free music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #26!
 
For those of you who are unaware of the Flatbasset Radio format, here's what you're looking at: TCDroogsma is our resident MP3 junkie. As you've probably noticed in his Songs Of The Week column, he's not always the most positive music fan. In an effort to prove that he is, in fact, a fan of music, we give him an hour each week to play the songs he's digging and talk a little bit about them. Once he's recorded his podcast we put it right here on the website for free to stream!

In this week's episode Droogsy celebrates some of his favorite records of 2013, admits to being years behind in his apps, give his sponsor their money worth, is confounded by gender reversals in his Cover Of The Week, attempts to redefine "success" for musicians, gives us his slogan for the year, defends a genius' ego (or an egoists' genius), and gives us his theory as to why everybody thought 2013 was terrible!

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset - P.O.S. (All In A Day's Work MegaMixx)

We are seriously taking the city...

Hello again, Twin Cities hip-hop fans!

It's been a great year for Twin Cities hip-hop. Brother Ali, MaLLy, I Self Devine, Big Quarters, Mike Mictlan... So much good music came out of the cities that it's almost unfair.

Today, though, we're here to celebrate the impending release of P.O.S.'s We Don't Even Live Here, which will hit the streets this coming Monday. This will be P.O.S.'s fourth solo album and, we're betting, will be high on the “Best Of” lists at the end of the year.

More to the point, to celebrate the release we asked our resident hip-hop junkie TCDroogsma to put together a little something for us. He came back with an hour long Flatbasset mix packed with P.O.S. jams.

As you can see, click the download tab below to download the free mix. Of course we'd like to take a moment to point out that, obviously, we do not own any of the music contained in the mix. We asked TCDroogsma to put it together as a celebration and that's just what he did. So please don't sue us. We don't have any money anyway.

TCDroogsma, any thoughts?

Y'know, I've been a Doomtree fans for a minute now and I thought it would be fun to put together a nice run of tracks that P.O.S. has been featured on rather than a typical “best of” type of thing.

If you remember, back when Never Better came out Fifth Element released a couple of bonus albums called Meat Tape and Meat Tape 2 that featured a bunch of harder to find stuff and stuff that, evidently, P.O.S. was digging at the time. That was kind of my plan with this mix. Think of it as Meat Tape 3 or P.O.S. & Friends Rappity Rap Party or I Already Know All These Songs.

It should be noted, of course, that I am not a DJ. If the fades and blends and such aren't up to par, that's why. Don't think of this mix as some chopped up, bangin' DJ mix (though, if someone did that with a bunch of P.O.S. guest spots I'm sure it would kill), think of this more like the best hour of radio that would never get played on the radio.

Obviously all of the tracks contain some sort of P.O.S. contribution. My apologies if I'm not giving full credit to everybody involved.

Thanks to TCDroogsma for putting the mix together for us. For more of TCDroogsma be sure to follow him on Twitter and/or Instagram or you can check out his own blog Flatbasset. He's still counting down Morrissey songs despite our best efforts. He's got problems, though. Problems.
