Iowa Basement Tapes #15 10-11-2018

Night Listeners of 98.9 FM KFMG -

Tonight I got stuck on a surf kick. The Afterdarks, Person Whale, and Steve Reverb & The Sound Tones all in the first 20 minutes. Person Whale has made its way into my heart. I love how sloppy the sound quality is and I wish more musicians would cut themselves some slack and let things sound a little more organic once and awhile. After much talk about my buddy Bensmasher (curator of 319dude.bandcamp.com), I finally got one of his recordings into the mix. Before I ever met Ben in person, we chatted on AOL Instant Messanger. He told me he had a "hippy industrial" project called Harm. When we met in person at Relics Records he gave me a copy. This was around 2003 and I wish to this day that he had recorded more material. At one point I had a remixed version of "Ten Red Months" that was more guitar-based vs the long ambient version that is on the album. When he first shared with me the 319 Dude Bandcamp archive, I asked him why Harm was not included and he told me "No one really knew I did this."

Iowa Basement Tapes #17 10-25-2018

Night Listeners of 98.9FM KFMG - Dude, October is coming to an end! I hope everyone has been enjoying the Halloween season to the fullest potential. Tonight was our last show for October. The next time you hear my voice it will be November. I can't say much will change around here. I will still be playing the best in the heartland's alternative music but Iowa Basement Tapes is in the process of syndicating to other stations across the state of Iowa. It has been something that has always been in the works and I hope more music is discovered along the way. Tonight I spin tunes from Iowa City's Milk Duct Tape who does a cover of Blue Oyster Cult's "Godzilla", Sioux City Pete, Samuel Locke Ward, The Vahnevants and Sires. - Kristian Day #trustkristianday Milk Duct Tape - "Gojira" / Gojira (Iowa City) Sioux City Pete and The Beggers - "Farmlands" / Necro Blues (Sioux City) Person Whale - "Boogeyman" / Last Train Out Of Dogtow...
