On this episode of the podcast, I play selections from some of my favorite releases of 2019. These are taken from the lists of favorite albums, tapes, and reissue & archival releases that I posted on the Free Form Freakout website this past week. If you check those out, you’ll find that there are 60…
After sifting through all of the playlists for the year for both the podcast and for the weekly Free Form Freakout show, while also taking into consideration the review and current listening piles, I’ve put together a barebones, blurb-less list of some of my favorite albums, tapes, and reissue & archival releases of the year.…
On this episode of the podcast, we continue to work our way through a stack of mostly new music that has found its way to the FFF bunker before we close the books on 2019. In fact, we’ll be doing one more show before the year is through, perhaps a look back on some favorites…
On this installment of the podcast, there is quite simply a whole lot of awesomeness to cover. New and notable releases this time around from favorites both old and new, including Sean McCann, Jon Collin, Monokultur, Jim Shepard, Paul DeMarinis, Corey Fuller and on and on. Aside from the early morning, foggy-headed blather of the…
Here’s what has been happening on the regular Thursday edition of Free Form Freakout over the past couple of months.

Your donations are incredibly important to the station, and…
On this installment, I dig into the work of the Austin, Texas-based label, Astral Spirits. Started in 2014 as a tape label that focused on what they dubbed “The New Wave of Heavy Free Jazz”, Astral Spirits has gone on to issue upwards of 115 releases and counting in its five years of operations and…
This latest episode comes to you with a little chill in the air outside and the change of season now more of a reality here in southern Minnesota. Of course, what this means for me is an increase in layers, coffee consumption, and time spent in the FFF bunker listening to music. Fortunately, in regards…
I’ve got another installment brimming with new sounds for you this time around. I often seem to start the show with a few catchy songs, but I thought we would just melt into the earth right away on this episode and work our way back out into more song-oriented material. There’s a bunch of great…
