These posts contain a log of playlists for the weekly Free Form Freakout show.
It has been a fun, yet busy, past couple of weeks here. We were fortunate to have Nathan McLaughlin drop by the studio and join us on episode #434. It’s always a pleasure to have him in town and to get to talk music, life, etc. The guy certainly knows a thing or two about…
As far as the last few weeks of the Thursday show go, I could write about a few of the record store scores that I played or even some of the old cassette tapes that I dug out of an old drawer, but I can hardly bring myself to write about any of this…
There was lots to talk about and lots to play over the past few weeks on the show. First and foremost, we were fortunate enough to get see the epic hometown reunion of The Replacements at Midway Stadium, which turned out being one of the most memorable shows we’ve seen in quite some time. With…
With summer starting to wind down for us, we were trying to cram in as much as we could during the month of August making it, at times, tricky for both of us to be in the studio together for the weekly radio show. As such, David ended up doing show #424 solo, and this…
Been enjoying a stretch of beautiful summer weather around these parts, and I think we’ve found the perfect soundtrack for these days in The Garment District’s new album called If You Take Your Magic Slow. We couldn’t agree more with their label’s description of the album that reads: “A mix of surreal instrumentals and subtle…
It has been a busy past couple of weeks around here in FFF land making it difficult for Carl and I to meet up for the regular weekly shows. Fortunately, we have had local music head and vinyl fiend, Jameson Sweiger, sitting in with us on these occasions when the other is gone. He’s been…
On this week’s show, we discussed and played tracks from a bunch of artists that will be performing at Heliotrope X, the long-running annual three-day festival highlighting the Twin Cities vibrant underground music community. We’re especially looking forward to checking out Weakwick (*tape pictured above) and American Cream – a couple of bands whose music…
On the last couple of shows, we spun some new releases that have come out in recent weeks, revisited some other titles from the first part of the year, and tossed in some older tracks for good measure . Of the new material, David is particularly keen on the latest from Michael O, Armure, and Line…
It was a busy and exciting month for us here on Free Form Freakout. Carl had a great turnout for Record Store Day at his shop, Tune Town, and experienced his most profitable day in his store’s history. KMSU, the station where FFF emanates from, stared down its largest pledge drive goal in its history…
David broke out the boombox to play a stack of newer tapes, along with some older gems, on show #404 when he was flying solo. Carl returned for the following shows where he played some of the music that his grandfather, who sadly passed away the week before, had left behind for him. We’ll have…
