On this episode of the podcast, Chris Berry of the Soft Abuse and Fruits & Flowers labels joined me once again as an in-studio guest, something we’ve been doing on an almost annual basis since the show started back in 2010. As with his past appearances, I just handed over control of the music to Chris for him to play whatever, and as usual, he put together a wide-ranging playlist on the fly from his crate of records, tapes, and CDs that he toted in with him. We also devoted a block of time to play and discuss some of the new and forthcoming releases on Soft Abuse and Fruits & Flowers. If you enjoy what Chris played on this episode, be sure to check out and follow 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.
