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.

Night Listeners - I feel like I have avoided playing tunes from Ames because I have always thought that the music from that city was extremely self indulgent. But I have come to love that about Ames. So tonight I got some new tunes from Stars Hollow. They do some loud emo pop stuff that some of you might enjoy. I also have two tunes from the new Traffic Death / Captain Three Leg split 12". One from each band that will rip your face right off. Iowa Basement Tapes has its own archive of Iowa music.

Night Listeners - Happy 40th episode! Tonight's a return to form for Iowa Basement Tapes and I haven't been this excited since to share some tunes since those early shows back on 98.9FM KFMG. Lots of first time plays tonight including Trouble Lights, Stewardesses, Road Soda, Hairless Monk, Catholic Werewolves, Erik Johnson, The Spider Magnets, and Hoyer Hoper.

Night Listeners - Tonight I am recording my show from the deepest part of Texas. I am in the city of Marfa. If you don't know about it you should give it a Google. I also spent some time at SXSW last week which was O.K. I am not party guy so I don't care about anything past the tacos. This week's playlist was carefully planned to not include as many Des Moines acts because I tend to focus on them a lot. Some first timers tonight: She Swings She Sways, Black Death Jet and Wet Hair. I am pretty sure Black Death Jet is only current band of the three. Iowa Basement Tapes now has its own archive of Iowa music.

Nigh Listeners - Our final February show of 2019 is upon us! This cold has got me super bummed so I am escaping to Los Angeles and will be producing the show in North Hollywood.

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.
