FFFreakout #443-445

It has happened only one other time in our show’s history where the weekly show has landed on three consecutive observed holidays. We are, of course, talking about Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, and David Bowie & Elvis Presley’s birthdays. We did attempt to do an abbreviated, year-end type show on episode #444 just focusing…

FFFoxy Podcast #50

Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a chance to maybe relax and unwind a bit over the holidays. I’ve had a pleasant week off, but I thought it would be nice to just jump back into things with the podcast. I’ve got some feature shows in the works for the weeks and months ahead, but…

FFFavorite Albums of 2014

Here is the third and final year-end favorites list for 2014 that I’ll be posting on our site. Presented alphabetically and with some gut-level commentary, this list includes a selection of twenty albums that I not only had played on the podcast and/or regular weekly show throughout the year, but ones that I returned to…

FFFreakout #439-442

It has been a busy time for us here at FFF, realized that we haven’t posted any of the Thursday show’s playlists for several weeks now. With this round, we started off with Carl talking up some of the Black Friday festivities taking place at his store on show #439 and we capped things off…

FFFavorite Tapes of 2014

Here is the second of three year-end favorites lists that will be posted on our site during the month of December. This time around the focus is on tapes, and man did I listen to literally hundreds of ’em throughout the year. This is just a small sampling of some of the stuff that rose…

FFFoxy Podcast #48

This episode of the FFFoxy Podcast runs the stylistic gamut maybe more noticeably than usual. Throughout the show you’ll hear everything from saccharine pop songs (Piano Movers, Jerry Paper) to blasted riff rock (Exhaustion, Shooting Guns) to text-based shenanigans (Yeast Culture, The Hafler Trio) and several points in between. There simply was a lot of…

FFFreakout #437-438

It’s mid-November and we’re already grumbling about the bitter cold weather around these parts. Thank goodness we had some essential reissues to discuss over the past few weeks to keep us distracted. I’m referring to the new Captain Beefheart Sun Zoom Spark: 1970 to 1972 box set, the new deluxe edition of The Kink’s Muswell…
