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 - 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.
