Iowa Basement Tapes

Night Listeners - Last show for August! I spent a few more days in Ottumwa this week. This project has to do with meth (in Ottumwa no less). Anyways I checked out Jason Bolinger's Ottumwa label, Speak Out Recordings. Lots of rad material plus some gems from the Mortiville Records archive.

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 - Tonight is a weird show. That's all I can say. The combination of tunes tonight really make no sense. But I started digging into some of the of old psychedelic singles of the 60s with stuff like Linn County, Noblemen, and the Royal Flairs. Also revisiting Die Mutts, a great Des Moines band that you can always count on. Iowa Basement Tapes has its own archive of Iowa music.

Night Listeners - It has been one year since Iowa Basement Tapes hit the airwaves. The first show aired July 5th 2018 at 9PM on 98.9 FM KFMG - Des Moines. I know most of you who listen to this show now probably won't be listening tonight as it is the 4th of July (by the way HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!). I do this show every week no matter what. If I am sick, if my cat passed away (both happened), or if the world burning away (global warming is real) there will always be a new show every week. Thank you for listening.

Night Listeners - We have a really heavy show tonight. It's probably the most talking we have ever done on this show and it is also our loudest show to date. My guest Nate Phillips ( Traffic Death / ex Black Market Fetus ) talks his his story in the Iowa music scene and he brings with him his Iowa playlist full of tunes I have never played before. Discussions include the early days of the Iowa hardcore scene, having a prolific career in music, and how to not let family life slow you down. Iowa Basement Tapes has its own archive of Iowa music.
