Iowa Basement Tapes #394 04-23-2026 Ill Omen and the Return of the Des Moines 4-Track Compilation

Night Listeners- 

This is a huge night for this show! First a brand new tune from Ill Omen, the first in two years. Second, Chuck Hoffman and Curtis Howard sent me the files for The Des Moines Four-Track Compilation Vol 1 LP. This is huge. I haven't played any song off of this record in over five years. I don't know what happened but Bandcamp would not let me download it anymore. So tonight we are playing almost ALL of it.
