Here’s what has been happening on the weekly Free Form Freakout show during the past month. During this time, we paid tribute to The Fall’s leader Mark E. Smith, marked the 50th anniversary of the Velvet Underground’s White Light/White Heat, droned out at the Drone Not Drones event (*note: that’s a blurry live shot of Loscil performing), and spun some new & old gems by the likes of Ka Baird, Slowdive, Solid Space, Doug Tuttle and more. Oh, and Carl got to take a well-deserved vacation for the first time in years.
