Iowa Basement Tapes

Night Listeners Finally, the interview with Luke Belknap (Goldblums / Huxley Maxwell / Person Whale / The Beaches / Austrinaut / Vivacious Bean Dip) has happened. He joins us in the KFMG studios in Des Moines with my engineer/co-host studio manager Gary Monte. Belknap talks about all the projects he is in and some of the primitive recording techniques used on his records. He shares with us his playlist of Iowa weirdos (some we've played and some we haven't). I also found a psychedelic rock band out of Fort Dodge from 1972 called West Minist'r.

Night Listeners - Happy Valentines Day! I hope you all enjoyed my note from Harry Warden at the beginning of the show. Tonight I popped in a few loves songs from Captain Three Leg, Elizabeth Moen, and well let's call the track from Three Finger Better Betty a love song too (it's probably not a love song for another a human). First time jams tonight from TV Cop out of Ottumwa. They are straight out of the pop punk scene and they remind me a lot of 90s Alkaline Trio or Offspring. The Elizabeth Moen song "Best I Can Do" reminds me a lot of the music heard in the David Lynch film, Wild At Heart. I also got a song off of the second or third When Bitter Spring Sleeps record, Coven Of Wolves. The nature sounds you hear on the track were recorded at Wapsipinicon River Environmental Education Center which is over on the Scott County side of Iowa.
