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.

Night ListenersFinally, 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.Hear us every Thursday at 9PM on 98.9FM KFMG - Des Moines & KCOE - Coe College Cedar Rapids.

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.Hear us every Thursday at 9PM on 98.9FM KFMG - Des Moines & KCOE - Coe College Cedar Rapids.

Night Listeners -Welcome to episode 30 of Iowa Basement Tapes and two new radio stations: KWIT 90.3FM & KOJI 90.7FM on Siouxland Public Media which covers the western Iowa area of Sioux City, northeastern Nebraska and the southeast edge of South Dakota. I'm stoked to be hitting their listeners every Friday night from 11PM to midnight. Don't forget you can also listen to the show every Thursday from 9PM to 10PM on 98.9FM KFMG in Des Moines and KCOE Coe College in Cedar Rapids. Lots of new material for tonight's show and I'd also like to finally share with everyone the Iowa Basement Tapes Bandcamp Archive. I was inspired by the archives on 319dude.bandcamp.com and the quadcitymusicarchive.bandcamp.com pages to curate my own collection of musical artifacts. Many of these recordings have already been heard on the show once or twice before but there are some new ones. If anyone would like to send over any recordings for me to add please do!

Night Listeners -Christmas is next week and I am chilling in the basement of Dylan Sires' Dad's house in Waterloo, Iowa. I bet no one saw that coming. Dylan is upstairs, I asked if he wanted to join me tonight for the show and he politely declined. I play a lot of chill music with a dash of noise with metal for dessert.Winter is a weird time for music. I hate going to shows because it's too cold and there is nothing worse than being a little tipsy when it is below freezing. However, I do love warm ambient music during this time of year. I remember being in high school and jamming Sigur Ros - ( ) during winter break when the snow covered the streets and Christmas lights illuminated my basement bedroom in my mom's house in Ely, Iowa. So for the next few weeks, I am going to be picking out lots of "warm" music. Please note: the no wave music I have chosen does not fall in this category.Listen every Thursday at 9PM on 98.9fm KFMG-LP Des Moines and at 7PM on KCOE Coe College Cedar Rapids.#trustkristiandayZuul - "As Sure As God Got Sandals" / Zuul (Iowa City)Zuul - "Blowin Kisses Makin Wishes" / Zuul (Iowa City)Peanut Ricky - "Dead Animals" / I Think I Am Not OK (Iowa City)Preacher - "Rebel" / La Sangre Esta Sabre Tus Manos (Cedar Rapids)Deerslayer - "Says Stone" featuring Bensmasher / (Cedar Rapids)Waverly - "Please Don't Fall Apart" / Fledging (Iowa City)Tires - "7" / Tires (Des Moines)The Beaches - "Bad Stone" / Viviparous Sounds (Des Moines)Austrinaut - "Basement Birthday Party" / I Don't Know Man, I can't Predict The Future (Des Moines)Deerslayer - "24 Years Later" / (Cedar Rapids)Nicholas Naoti - "Side A" Excerpt / Watery Grave (Fairfield)P.

Night listeners -Tonight I played part one of my interview with former Cedar Rapids native Adam Groves. He played bass and sang in the PeePee's, Wheel and the Fence, and Brazil. He is also the artist behind one of my favorite musical acts, Deerslayer. He currently resides in Singapore so when I recorded him it was 11AM CST but it was 11PM Singapore time. The quality is a little rough at times as I was capturing it from my iphone. I did my best to clean it up but there is a lot of background noise. He talks about the Cedar Rapids music scene from 1996 through 2006. Lots of incite from his days with The PeePees, Brazil, and of course Deerslayer.- Kristian#trustkristiandayWheel and the Fence - "Emperor Moth" / Wheel and the Fence (Cedar Rapids)The PeePees - "American Tourister" / How We Do It In Ghetto Land (Cedar Rapids)Brazil - "Church" / Love Lost Her Job Today (Cedar Rapids)The Horrors - "Every Inch Of My Love" / Split with The PeePees (Cedar Rapids)Wheel and the Fence - "Equal Parts" / Demo (Cedar Rapids)Deerslayer - "Music Table 01" / Music Table (Cedar Rapids)Deerslayer - "Music Table 05" / Music Table (Cedar Rapids)Deerslayer - "Music Table 06" / Music Table (Cedar Rapids)The PeePees - "Chicken City" / Live From The Slums of CR (Cedar Rapids)Deerslayer - "Musc Table 07" / Music Table (Cedar Rapids)Deerslayer - "Music Table 03" / Music Table (Cedar Rapids)Brazil - "Eyelights" / Love Lost Her Job Today (Cedar Rapids) Follow Iowa Basement Tapes on: InstagramFollow Kristian Day on: Instagram | Twitter (not doing much with it currently)Iowa Basement Tapes has its own archive of Iowa music.

Night Listeners,This week I am in the KFMG studios with studio manger Gary Monte interviewing filmmaker Jack Meggers about his life in Mason City during the grunge era of the 90s. We play his band Ming's Daughter as well as fellow northern Iowa bands Todd's Neat Futons and Sorry Excuse. Jack left Iowa for fifteen years and returned in 2014 where he was reintroduced to Iowa's music scene. He brings on a handful of tracks that have inspired in creatively since returning to the state.Listen to us on 98.9 KFMG - LP Des Moines and KCOE - Coe College Cedar Rapids.

Night Listeners -Happy Thanksgiving! If you are one of our listeners from KCOE in Cedar Rapids, we have a ton of tunes from your neck of the woods. Digging through the crates we got an old demo from ol' Will Whitmore of his tune "Gravel Road". This was ripped directly from the cassette that was mailed to Brad Adita for the Another Day In The Air compilations. I also got new newer tunes from Peanut Ricky, Huxley Maxwell, and Waverly. This playlist was crafted for those who are chilling in their food coma and just want everyone to leave them alone. Jack Meggers will be joining me next week to discuss Mason City's once-thriving alternative music scene.Listen to Iowa Basement Tapes live on 98.9 FM KFMG-LP Des Moines and on KCOE Coe College Student Radio.

Night Listeners -This is our first road trip show! 90% of this weeks episode was recorded while driving in a minivan to Madison, WI with Dylan Sires (of the band Sires). We blast through a lot of tunes originating from the Cedar Valley, something I haven't done in a while. Bare with us, the sound quality is questionable at times because... we are in a minivan.

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#trustkristiandayMilk Duct Tape - "Gojira" / Gojira (Iowa City)Sioux City Pete and The Beggers - "Farmlands" / Necro Blues (Sioux City)Person Whale - "Boogeyman" / Last Train Out Of Dogtown (Des Moines)Goldblum's - "My Dad's In It" / Gnat Bones (Des Moines)Mister Clean - "Meter Maid KIller" / Screaming Queens and Chicken Wings (Cedar Rapids)Land of Blood and Sunshine - "Gravel Chapel" / AEONS ( Marshalltown)Samuel Locke Ward and the band They Could Not Hang - "The Harvest" / Country & Western Funeral - The Lame Years Vol. 10 (Iowa City)Steve Reverb & the Sound Tones - "Creature from the Black Lagoon" / Tiki Run (Marion)Captain Three Leg - "High Tail" / All Fours (Ottumwa)Dangtrippers - "Maxwell's Demon Box" / Days Between Stations (Iowa City)The Vahnevants - "I Saw a Ghost" (alt version) / I Saw a Ghost (Des Moines)Hot Carl - "Human Pharmacy" / It Hits the Sauce (Dubuque)The Huns - "Fugitive from Love" / Rednecks Under the Moonlight (Iowa City)Sires - "Colorbook" / Soul For Sale (Waterloo) Follow Iowa Basement Tapes on: InstagramFollow Kristian Day on: Instagram | Twitter (not doing much with it currently)Iowa Basement Tapes has its own archive of Iowa music.

Night Listeners of 98.9 FM KFMG -We are halfway through October and I am in the mood for blues. My buddy Buffalo Bonker brought me a pile of Iowa blues tunes and I'm going to dig into them with Scarlet Runner from Gilbertville and The Graveyard Blues Band from Cedar Rapids (there is also rad avant-garde jazz band from Lansing, MI called Graveyards that everyone should check out). I also met a stone mason who talked to me about the Iowa metal and punk scene of the 80s. He talked a lot about Voodoo Gearshift which made me finally want to check them out. I also got Sioux City Pete with a song from Necro Blues (I had to omit the title).For full show notes please check out my blog at Kristian Day.com | On The Radio.- Kristian#trustkristianday Follow Iowa Basement Tapes on: InstagramFollow Kristian Day on: Instagram | Twitter (not doing much with it currently)Iowa Basement Tapes has its own archive of Iowa music.

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."Download The Latest ShowFor full show notes and playlists, please visit www.kristianday.com or www.kfmg.org.- Kristian#trustkristianday Follow Iowa Basement Tapes on: InstagramFollow Kristian Day on: Instagram | Twitter (not doing much with it currently)Iowa Basement Tapes has its own archive of Iowa music.

Night listeners of 98.9FM KFMG -October is finally here! If you have been listening to the show for a while, you know that I drop a lot of samples from movies at the beginning of episodes. Most of them come from horror films like Return of the Living Dead, Trick Or Treat (the one with Gene Simmons), and whatever else one might be sitting in my office when I am working on the show. Horrors movies always seemed to go hand in hand with punk rock and metal for me.Anyways tonight I dug out a tape from this super obscure artist named Sky Carrasco. I purchased her cassette, Dark Pines, several years ago from Record Collector in Iowa City. Her music is made up of violin, ukulele, and drums. I highly recommend checking it out. On the heavy side of things, I got some CR Dicks, X-Ray Mary, and an old-school punk jack from Mister Clean. I want to also point out the last track on tonight's playlist was the closest thing I have to hair metal. Geardown from Humboldt, IA plays a medley of hair metal tracks into one epic ballad.LISTEN NOWFor full show notes and playlists, please visit www.kristianday.com or www.kfmg.org.-Kristian#trustkristiandayPS.

Night Listeners of 98.9FM KFMG -September is over! What happened? I feel like I have been all over the place and I am in the midst of three commercial shoots happening out in Pella, IA (is there punk rock in Pella?). I went from assistant directing a really expensive proof of concept in Arkansas to producing and managing three corporate projects. I really just want to enjoy the Halloween season right now. Speaking of Halloween season, over the next few weeks I will be playing tunes that are little grimmer. You bet there will be some Horrors and Afterdarks, but baby there is so much more out there. Iowa never ceases to amaze me. Jack Meggers is also finally bringing that grocery sack of Mason City tunes so stay tuned for that next week.Tonight I spun some classic tunes by The Buzzards from Iowa City, Spy Morale doing a cover/tribute to the late hardcore act, Sorry Excuse, and I close out with Aseethe playing a turtle speed version of Black Sabbath's Rat Salad (just an excerpt because I don't believe in filler). I also discovered my first band from Solon, Iowa, Uncle 'Na Anteaters.Can I also ask if there is any no wave punk from Iowa?

Night Listeners of 98.9FM KFMG -Tonight I cracked open the show with one of my favorite tracks from self-titled LP by The Horrors, "Back in the Cut". The riff on this song gives me goosebumps everytime I jam it. I introduce a few new bands into the mix including Mold, The Twelve Canons and Anthon Worden. A few tracks on tonight's program are of lower quality then we are used to playing. One of them imparticular, is a track by The Problems, one of Ed Nehring's many musical projects dating back to 1979. A mention I need to make is my discovery of the surf rockers, Steve Reverb and the Sound Tones which features my buddy Justin Beahm on drums.

Night Listeners -This is the podcast edition of Iowa Basement Tapes Broadcast #8 that aired on August 23rd, 2018 from 9PM to 10PM on 98.9FM KFMG. I don't think there could be a more diverse show tonight. We got a track off the brand new self-titled LP from Son of the Morning, Des Moines' newest doom occult band. From the ashes of The Horrors from Cedar Rapids comes CR Dicks(featuring both Andy Caffrey & Paul Cary). I also welcome Mr. Bruce Bales who is sort of the music video king of Iowa. He brings us his own playlist of tunes for us to check out including tracks from The Multiple Cat, Land of Blood and Sunshine, & Jack Lion. We also get a fun cameo from KFMG studio manager Gary Monte who chimes in with his history of eastern Iowa radio. The show closes out with a track off the newest Annalibera album, Opia.

Night Listeners of 98.9FM KFMG -It's September and it is our tenth week on air. Who could have imagined I could keep this up for this long? Most of my friends can't, but that's OK. This week I have Luke Dickens on the program who recently opened the doors to his own record shop in the Beaverdale neighborhood in Des Moines called Vinyl Cup. Luke brings a playlist of tunes that I have never played on the show before. I felt like the odd man out as he and studio manager Gary Monte connected on their mutual love for Catfish Keith. Luke's choices are a breath of fresh air, although I disagree with him on the idea that William Elliot Whitmore is underappreciated... especially among his lady fans. So to offset his playlist I spin some tracks from Captain Three Leg, Broken Ones, and Fetal Pig. Also, a long forgotten band called Beef Wellington from Cedar Rapids makes their debut tonight.-Kristian#trustkristiandayListen Now!

Night Listeners of 98.9FM KFMG -This week is my birthday show so I am packing this episode with tons of musical goodies. You know because of this there will be some Captain Three Leg and Deerslayer (for real). I throw a curb ball and play a track from Bob Dorr & the Blue Band, something I have never had on the show before. I also got a track from the Iowa City band Genital Hercules. I have been saving this song for a special occasion. I should also note that I recorded this week's show from a hotel a room in Springdale, Arkansas. I make movies everywhere...For full show notes please visit www.kristianday.com or kfmg.org-Kristian#trustkristiandayListen now Follow Iowa Basement Tapes on: InstagramFollow Kristian Day on: Instagram | Twitter (not doing much with it currently)Iowa Basement Tapes has its own archive of Iowa music.

Night Listeners of 98.9FM KFMG -As you are listening to this I am up in the far northeast corner of Iowa in the town of Lansing. I never thought I could drive 4 hours in one direction from Des Moines as still be in Iowa, well I found the one place that I could. I am here producing Jack Megger's short film, The Burial. Its been nearly four years in the works and we are finally here. Jack is originally from Mason City and has a pile of his own basement tapes that he is giving me to digitize for a future show.Tonight, I have replaced our opening movie sample with a track from The Tape Beatles, tape collage group from Iowa City. They might be replacing Deerslayer as a weekly "must play" on a temporary basis. Their material reminds me a lot of Negativeland or a more commercial version of Aaron Dilloway. I also have a new track from Forest Lonefight's (The Maw) new solo album, Tend to the Soul. From the world of Iowa doom, I have tunes from Son of the Morning, Dead Emperors, and Mr. Nasti (doom pop, but still doom). For all my 319 listeners, I got two tracks from the music world of the late Mathew Davis (Brazil & Ten Grand).
