Iowa Basement Tapes

Night Listeners - A real quick statement about the future of the show: Iowa Basement Tapes stands with the protestors. IBT supports #BLM. Just in case anyone was confused. Tonight I have lots of new tunes from TV Cop, Levi Follmuth, Mathew Wessel, Fade In, Dweller, and more. Lots of stuff that I have never played on the show before. A big shout out to Dany Loy for providing the Slimtones demo from 1993 and Prophets of the Cosmic Universe. Iowa Basement Tapes has its own archive of Iowa music.

Night Listeners - How did we get here? 100 episodes. 100 times I have setup my laptop to record/edit a show usually the morning of the first broadcast. I remember thinking several times, "It's midnight and I have to leave for the airport by 3:30AM. I still have to record the show." IBT has never about making money, it has been about keeping this music alive. The only way to keep music alive is to keep forever circulating. Back in the day it was about trading tapes and CDrs, now its about sharing digital files and broadcasting these tunes as much as possible. There is no reason to keep this music around except to preserve Iowa's history in DIY and alternative culture and really that is enough. Iowa Basement Tapes has its own archive of Iowa music.

Night Listeners, I am recording tonight from Sioux City, Iowa. Technically its Sergeant Bluffs but who's checking. I am here all week casting for a commercial and I was able to swing by the KWIT/KOJI station to chat with Mark Munger and Steve Smith.

Night Listeners - November is dead. But I got some new discoveries I'm playing tonight PLUS new material on the Iowa Basement Tapes Archive. Including Horny Genius (Iowa City), Abscess (Iowa City), A Child's Trust In God (Des Moines ), The Law (Des Moines), Sarcasm, and Welfare Skate (Des Moines). Some of the recordings are pretty crude and may not actually get any airplay but they exist so that means they will make it to the online archive.

Night Listeners - Week 2 of me hanging in Iowa City. I'm on a grueling schedule with a six day week working on a split schedule that is killing my vibes.
