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 -
Ben Smasher returns! Tonight we pay tribute to my dear friend Barron Christian. Ben reached out about doing a show with me where he ask questions about Barron and tell stories. If ya'll can imagine, I don't really have time to mourn or grieve when someone passes. I probably soaked up much of the oxygen in the room as I really have't had time to talk about any of this. Plus we got a special playlist that Ben and myself cooked up.
- Satan's Almighty Penis - "Barron Voices" / Pulsing Feral Spires (Cedar Rapids)
- Twelve Cannons - "The Sound of Your Voice" / Volume Five Demos (Iowa City)
- North to Alaska - "Owls" / Everything Right Now (Cedar Rapids)

We made it to 150! How or why I will never know. All I can say is that Iowa's history in alternative music deserves its place among the stars. I pack tonight with LOTS of music. 19 songs from 16 bands. I plow through some new material from Death Kill Overdrive and dive deep into the Save Me from Ordinary compilation. Plus some Basement Tapes' classics: Deerslayer, Hot Carl, and Captain 3 Leg.
