Flatbasset Radio: Episode #70 (Best Of 2015 - The Current Song Of The Day)


It ain't who ya know, it's who knows you...


Well hello again, podcast fans! Welcome to an out-fucking-standing episode of the Flatbasset Radio show!

As you likely gathered from the unnecessarily long title of this week's show, you're in for a special episode this week. As per tradition, I'm starting off the new year with a few of "Best Of 2015" shows. This particular episode is a countdown of my 10 favorite songs given away via The Current's Song Of The Day podcast.  Hell, who doesn't love a good countdown?

For those unaware of The Current's SOTD podcast, I highly suggest you look into. Follow this link, subscribe to the show, and each and every weekday you'll find a new song waiting for you. They're not all winners, but as you're about to find out, some of them are absolute gems.

For this countdown I only have a couple of criteria:


01. The song only had to be released as a Current SOTD track in 2015. The song didn't necessarily have to get its proper release in 2015.

02. No songs from albums I eventually purchased. If I did pick up an album that contained a SOTD track, I've probably already played something from it here on the show.

So kick back and listen. I play the jams, complain about how tired I am, mispronounce a bunch of names, and pretty much just fill the blank space between songs. It's a hell of a show.

(Full disclosure, I suppose: I do not work for and am in no way affiliated with MPR or The Current... yet. It's good to have goals though).
