Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #29

I'm riding on a camel that has big eyes...

Hello again, free music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #29!
 
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!

In this week's episode Droogsy's flyin' solo due to the polar vortex, wondering why British bands are better at shoegaze, playing something from one of his most anticipated albums of 2014, struggling (yet again) with basic pronunciation, speculating about an unpredictable MC's motivation, trying to warm us up with music, wondering just what the big deal is with the Grammy Awards, giving us all a warning about proper footwear, getting excited about reunited 90's groups, recalling the days of compact discs, and shining the spotlight on "one of the most skipped songs" in history!

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #12

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.
