On this installment of the podcast, I welcome back to the studio our long-time friend of the show, Chris Berry of the Soft Abuse and Fruits & Flowers labels. Up until 2020, we were approaching ten consecutive years of Chris making his annual trek to Mankato to join me on the show. A global pandemic and major life changes have, naturally, made it difficult for us to coordinate anything for the past few years, so I was happy that our schedules aligned at just the right time for us to pull this off again. As with past shows, I just handed over control of the music to Chris for him to spin whatever, and as usual, there are plenty of new discoveries sprinkled throughout. We also carved out some time to play some new things on Soft Abuse and Fruits & Flowers. If you enjoy what Chris put together on this episode, be sure to check out his great weekly radio show called Upside Down on the Minneapolis station, KFAI. Hope you enjoy this episode! Feel free to get in touch if you have any comments or questions. As always, thanks for looking and listening.
