Here are the playlists from the weekly Free Form Freakout show from earlier in the year. Sure, it was only a few months ago, but typing these out felt almost like stepping back into a completely different reality altogether. When we did these shows, we were discussing live shows that we were hosting in town and other concerts that we were going to see. We were making plans for the annual KMSU record store expedition. We were picking out records to spin at the weekly DJ gathering at the Mankato Brewery. We were, you know, leaving our houses from time-to-time. It may be a ways out, but we’ll get back to those things again and it’ll feel even more special when it does. If you’re unable to listen to the weekly show live, they are now archived and streamable for two weeks afterwards over on Radio Free America.
