On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast show, things are quite all over the map, both sonically and, I guess, geographically, as I’ve got stuff to play from as far away as Sweden, Germany, Greece, and Japan to right here in our own backyard. To my ears it all seems inter-connected, so I’m hoping you…
Here’s what has been happening over the past few busy weeks on the regular Thursday afternoon episodes of Free Form Freakout. We’d like to say thanks to everyone that bought a shirt from us or made a donation directly to KMSU during the recent Spring Pledge Drive. Your support helped the station surpass its $30,000…
Every year we try to come up with some type of exclusive item to give away during KMSU’s annual Spring Pledge Drive. In the past we’ve done record bundles, limited edition lathes, mixtapes, and other grab bag incentives. We figured this year would be a good time to do a new Free Form Freakout t-shirt…
After a wonderful evening of performances at the Arts Center of St. Peter, Graham Lambkin and I reconvened at the KMSU studios to record this new installment of the podcast show. Our approach was rather impromptu: I grabbed some new albums that were recently acquired, and he grabbed a handful of titles off the shelves…
As I mentioned on the last podcast show, I had a bunch of new music piling up that I wanted to play and couldn’t come even close to squeezing it all in. On this installment I continued to work my way through a bunch of mostly newer material that has arrived recently. The freshest of…
April has arrived and there are some great things happening locally this month that have us pretty exited. Next weekend, on April 15th & 16th, the 10th annual Post-Holiday Extravaganza is taking place in Mankato.

On this installment of the FFFoxy Podcast show, we get back to combing through a bunch of new releases and notable reissues that have arrived in the mailbox over the past month. There is A LOT of really top-notch material this time around, so much so that I had to hold off on playing a…
So, here’s what has been happening on the weekly Free Form Freakout show over the past four weeks. In that time span, we started off by observing the sad passing of Hideo Ikeezumi, founder of the legendary Japanese experimental music label P.S.F. Records, and we moved through some busy weeks with shows that were peppered…
On this installment of the FFFoxy Podcast show I delve into the world of The Helen Scarsdale Agency, the superbly curated label run by sound artist Jim Haynes since 2003. The label’s stellar catalog features artists from around the world working with unique approaches to sound art, drone, and otherwise experimental composition, including Omit, Robert…
Three more weeks have passed and three more FFF shows are in the can. During that time we went from record breaking warm weather to buzzworthy blizzard warnings, from brand new releases to recent bargain bin finds, from scuzzy lo-fi rockers to delicate drone folk drift, from Pumice to Parsons and plenty more. Thanks for…
