KMSU’s annual Spring Pledge Drive starts on Wednesday, April 18 and runs through Friday, April 27th. The station’s goal this time around is to raise an ambitious $40,000. As we’re sure many listeners of independent public radio fully understand, these fundraisers aren’t just a means to bring in much-needed money to help pay for operating…
April is shaping up to be a very busy month, so I decided to knock out another podcast since I had a little free time to work with this week. I’ve got a stacked installment for you this time filled with sounds from mostly newer releases to come out in the first quarter of this…
We’re beyond thrilled to be invited back to the Arts Center of St. Peter on April 20th to curate the second annual, An Evening of Experimental & Improvised Sound event.

On this installment of the podcast show, we dig deeper into the work of Crys Cole.

Over the…
I had to make some adjustments for this week’s show after having my laptop crash on me. I had plans for another feature show, but I’ve had to delay that for the time being until I get things sorted out. Even though I seldom use a computer for music playback, it’s become glaringly clear to…
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.
