Hello again, free music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #28!
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 and/or download!
This week is a special episode for those of you who are fans of countdowns and not fans of TCDroogsma babbling to himself. To celebrate the end of the year (and thus another year of Songs Of The Week posts), Droogsy packed up the radio show and headed over to St. Paul to sit down with MinneSarah. After spending the past year reviewing all of the Song Of The Day tracks they decided to take an hour to countdown their 10 favorites. Here we've put together their discussion as well as the 10 best songs of The Current Songs Of The Day: 2013 Edition!
Along the way they drink brandy, discuss 60's garage rock revival, concede that there is no greater goal than trying to get money, consider ways to improve The Beatles, make a bold prediction as to what will be the big indie trend of 2014, discuss Depeche Mode's influence, discuss Har Mar Superstar's newfound maturity, reminisce about a club-filling dance band soundtracking loneliness, give King Krule some tips on his live set, discuss the value of old pop-punk records, and discuss a live performance of their number one song of 2013!
