Alex finds the time and piece of mind to record one of two podcast episodes on stuff the he hasn't made yet. Apparently a lot can, and will happen, but for the time being this is a magical look into the future of a weird man with an even weirder plan.

Alex and his Resistance Radio tackles the psychology of Christmas music with special performances by The X-Friends, Alex himself, something akin to Frank Sinatra, Anthony Daniels and the Beatles.

It's a touchy subject but someone has to deal with it. Alex and his Resistance Radio goes raunchy and talks about pop music and sexuality.

Alex runs for president and campaign by playing blues and handing out cheeseburgers!

Alex on vocals, commentary and guitar. Nils on bass, guitar and assorted homebuilt thingamabobs. From Malmoe, may 4th 2019. Wel…

Alex discuss a solo outing that may or may not be a BCP thing. Apparently an early incarnation of Nils is in the cut somewhere but is it BCP, or a hommage to the clown devil, or just a fucking waste of your time. Was this the reason it wasn't released? Did Alex win or lose the war against censorship? How many glasses of wine does it take to make ik…

Alex (solo) recount bits and pieces of the story of how he created the perfect terrible bookend to a box of 80% crap with an additional 20% of crap and called it "Conclusion". The episode also deals with the remake of the cherry on top of the crap and "Good advice on how to advance your music career by massmurdering the audience". Two minutes short…

Alex and Nils discuss the history and making and destruction of the BCP guitar. It all deals with the very strange night when Oscar joined BCP for one night and everything went weird. The outcome is a 20 minuter recording only know to a select few as "Second to last". A few weeks later Nils decided to demolish Alex' garden gnome in a symbolic state…

The basement cluster podcast was rudely and abruptly interrupted and the podcast ceased for a few months. In this public service announcement Alex explains what happened and what the road looks like ahead. Meanwhile in a parallell universe BCP performed before a live audience (not stuffed animals, drunk uncles or chicken). Hopefully the podcast can…

Episode 2 of 3 in a short special series chronicling the wonderful world of BCP. Nah...we're two geezers talking about old times.

Learning from their mistakes, Alex Ahlstrand and Nils Pihlblad recorded followup episodes to the podcast.

No braincells were harmed during the making of this episode. Welcome to the Basement Cluster Podcast…
