FFFreakout #534-538

No need to take up too much space here to dwell on events from the past six weeks; it’s been an emotional roller coaster ride to say the least, and we’re happy to view some of this in the rear view mirror at this point. We are going to move forward, though, with an outlook…

FFFoxy Podcast #88

As I’m sure plenty of others can attest, it’s been a rather stressful and decidedly surreal past couple of weeks, so I can honestly say that it felt pretty good to be hunkered down in the studio putting together this installment of the podcast. On a personal level, this show has always been about seeking…

FFFoxy Podcast #87: Graham Lambkin

On this installment of the FFFoxy Podcast show, we spotlight the brand new album Community from Graham Lambkin, an artist who’s work – if you have listened to the show over the years – you know that we have a great deal of respect and admiration for. After several years of collaborating with other artists…

Once again, we’ve fallen a bit behind on posting the weekly Free Form Freakout playlists here.

FFFoxy Podcast #86: Penultimate Press feature

FFFoxy Podcast #84

Here’s a new episode of the FFFoxy Podcast show coming hot on the heels of the last one with our pal Chris Berry of Soft Abuse. I’ve been working my way through quite a massive stack of new music over the past couple of weeks, so I wanted to try and cram in as much…

FFFreakout #518-525

Summer is starting to slip away from us here. Before we know it, the leaves will be falling and then the frigid menace is right around the corner. Before we start setting our sights too far ahead, though, here’s a look back at what has been happening on the weekly show over the past couple…

New tape releases from Round Bale Recordings

Emerging from the Minnesota River Valley in the mid-aughties, Maths Balance Volumes were a revolving band of twenty-somethings that were infected with the free improv/free noise contagion that was then being transmitted across musty Midwestern basements and well beyond through a network of house shows and ultra limited tape and cd-r releases. MBV’s own releases…
