Night Listeners -To continue on with my travelogue shows I am now in West Point, NY. On the flight I got to finally explore some tunes by the band Nethervoid. Tim Connery whom I have worked with on film projects up in the Dubuque area used to be in this band with members of The Tanks (hence the double location mention). Nethervoid put out two albums, an EP, and a demo during their short lifespan. Now the majority of their music is some good ol' hail satan black metal, however they do have a cover of Bauhaus's "Mask" on their EP. But I chose the instrumental title song from their last album as my pick.Iowa Basement Tapes has its own archive of Iowa music.

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.
