Newest Industry Presents - Flatbasset Radio: Episode #16 (All Sota Everything!)

Pick up your paws and let's dance...

Well hello again, free music fans!  Welcome to the 16th edition of Flatbasset Radio!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Flatbasset Radio here's the story:  TCDroogsma is our resident MP3 junkie.  As you may have noticed from his Songs Of The Week column, he's old and he's grouchy.  So, to prove to us that he does actually like music, we invite him to share his weekly podcast with us.  He play some songs, says some things, songs, things, etc... and he ends it all with his Flatbasset Flat Classic Song Of The Week!

This week's edition is a special edition indeed.  TCDroogsma decided to celebrate Minnesota's 155th birthday by rambling on for two solid hours of Minnesota music!  Along the way he drinks a little too much beer, explains which app he won't use (hint: it rhymes with 'Wine'), explains what Twin Cities band is like a drug, shares the soundtrack to his life as a silent film, puts The Current on blast, gets confused as to whether or not there's a Minnesota Music Hall Of Fame, tells people who are unfamiliar with Prince where to go, implies that more bands should emulate Steely Dan, confuses a 15 year old version of himself, ruins all the sexiness of two of the Twin Cities sexiest artists, and declares Dave Pirner one of life's winners!

All that, plus the constant celebration of Minnesota's birthday!  It's all gay weddings and spaceship football stadiums from here on out people!

As always, the podcast is free to download and/or free to stream right here on Newest Industry.  You can't beat that price.  Give 'em a listen.

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #4 (Thanksgiving Edition!)

"Fruits, veggies, rice, beans, fryin' the tofu..."

Well hello again, free music fans!

Our old friend TCDroogsma is back with his Flatbasset podcast.  This week TCDroogsma puts together a whole episode with a Thanksgiving theme!  Or at least, he tries to, and that's really the best we can hope for the young man.

Click on the embedded player below to listen to the podcast.  You'll get to hear TCDroogsma struggle to find a common thread between Jeff Tweedy, Kanye West, John Lennon, & Milo Aukerman.  You'll also get to hear reason #530 why Minnesota is better than everything.  He also calls out the Ying Yang Twins & Kendrick Lamar, places football above family, and lusts over the way things were back in 1996.  Good times all around.



Of course you can click the below to download the podcast so you'll have something to listen to while making the long drive to your parents' house for the holiday.

If, for some reason, that's not enough TCDroogsma he can be followed on Twitter (@TCDroogsma).  He can also be found rambling on over at Flatbasset, his personal blog.  There's a 45% chance that he's already holiday drunk, so don't take any of his ramblings TOO seriously.

Of course Newest Industry also lives on Twitter (@NewestIndustry1).  Give us a follow to stay up on the work being done by all of our contributors.  More importantly, we have a Facebook page here. Stopping by and giving us a "like" is honestly the best way to support the blog short of just throwing money at us.  We'd all be awfully THANKFUL if you gave us a "like." (See what we did there?  Pertinent, right?)
