On this installment of the FFFoxy Podcast show, our good friend Chris Berry of the Soft Abuse and Fruits & Flowers record labels joined me in the KMSU studios for the seventh year in a row. This annual get-together is something I always look forward to, as Chris typically rolls in with a box of…
August has come and went, which means that summer is now sadly winding down, and we have to get back to our usual workaday grind. It was, however, a fun and eventful month that included great KMSU-sponsored shows in town from David Nance and Simon Joyner, a creative Grant Hart day sponsorship initiated by a…
This installment of the podcast show started off with a track from David Nance’s 2013 album called Actor’s Diary that came out on Grapefruit Records as part of their subscription series from that year. Nance, whose music we’ve featured on previous shows, is a talented songwriter and guitarist out of Omaha, Nebraska, whose solo work…
On this latest installment of the FFFoxy Podcast show, I continue to work my way through a bunch of the new arrivals that have been finding their way to me over the past few months either through the mail or through my random record store grabs. If you happen to be an artist or label…

Andrew is a thoughtful musician whose work often blurs the lines between American folk and experimental music traditions, incorporating elements of…
I put together a special show for you to mark this 100th installment of the FFFoxy Podcast. In the first hour I chat with Paw Grabowski, the Danish minimalist and collagist that produces work under the name, øjeRum. I have admired his output for the past few years and was fortunate enough to get to…
Happy to present the latest release on our in-house label, Round Bale Recordings. This new one comes from øjeRum, an artist that I previously talked-up in my Favorite Music of 2016 piece stating, “In my humble opinion, this Danish sound and visual artist is making some of the most interesting work in the whole international…
Here’s what has been happening on the weekly Free Form Freakout show for the past month. Yes, despite our best intentions, we’ve once again fallen behind on posting these playlists.
