Newest Industry Presents - Flatbasset Radio: #38 (w/MinneSarah)

You heard that we were great, now you know we're lame...

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's episode TCDroogsma heads over to St. Paul to reunite with his estranged co-host MinneSarah & play some summer jams!  Along the way they discuss the cruelty of summer in Minnesota, seasonal drinking habits, the work ethic of 90's pop bands, European weather patterns, the cinematic tour-de-force that is Good Burger, haggling over the price of an EP, pronouncing English bands with Minnesota accents, how to pass time when summer hits its bad stretches, MinneSarah's favorite Nashville band, the struggle to cast a vote in the 2002 election, how context turns a good song into a "summer jam," and reminisce about the first time they saw one of their favorite bands and  seeing that band again last weekend!  All that plus the Cover Of The Week & Flatbasset Flat Classic!

Newest Industry Presents: Flatbasset Radio - Episode #11

It's Minnesota, man, your face will freeze fast...

Well hello again, music fans! Welcome to Flatbasset Radio: Episode #11!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with our podcast, here's the idea: Each week TCDroogsma participates in our Songs Of The Week column. Since he's typically pretty negative, sowe put him in charge of producing and recording a podcast each week to play us some jams that he actually likes. Of course the podcast is free to listen to and download.

This week TCDroogsma plays a batch of cold weather jams, explains the virtue of the cold, laments a lost search engine, makes a play for Meg White, puts Canada on blast for excessive punctuation, puts together a Mixed Blood Majority showcase, finds the common ground between Kill The Vultures & Guided By Voices, promises a Songs Of The Week bloodbath, explains a joyous moment when hockey & hip-hop intersected, and explains power-pop's missing link between Big Star & Fountains Of Wayne!
