This Wednesday, April 20th will mark the start of KMSU’s annual Spring Pledge Drive. It’s one of only two times during the year where we reach out to our listeners for donations to help keep this special little station afloat through uncertain times. Over the past couple of years, KMSU’s generous listeners have helped pay…
I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather over the past few days, so hopefully the talk breaks don’t sound even more scatterbrained than usual on this episode. I wanted to keep things on track with the podcast, though, this time focusing mostly on a bunch of newer music that has arrived in the past…
So, here’s what has been happening on the weekly Free Form Freakout show for the past month or so. In that time we’ve taking in another great Wolf Eyes gig, won an insanely packaged box set at a terrific local arts benefit, marked the sad passing of Beatle’s producer George Martin and Dead Moon drummer…
I was pleased to have Shawn Reed of Night People Records join me once again on the podcast show for this week. I did a feature on Night People with Shawn back in February of 2011 when I was just getting the podcast up and running. At that time Shawn was living in Iowa City…
I’m still working my way through the piles of music that I’ve acquired over the past couple of months, so on this installment of the FFFoxy Podcast show you’ll again hear plenty of newer releases and reissues, along with a couple of older tracks that I thought tied-in well with that material. Things start off…
There has been some heavy activity that has went down in the weeks that have passed since we last updated our weekly playlists on the website here. We mourned the loss of a major artist in David Bowie, we marked our 10th anniversary of doing the Thursday FFF show, and we also aired our 500th…
On account of kicking around a few different feature show possibilities and slowly gathering up a decent-sized pile of new music to play, I’m a few weeks overdue on putting a new podcast show together. I can assure you, though, that I haven’t gone into complete hibernation mode, even though we’ve had to endure a…
Greetings and Happy New Year from a very frigid upper Midwest. As I was stumbling into the studio in the dim early morning hours to record this show, the wind chill was hovering in the sub-zero range and slated to drop even further into the negative double digits in the days ahead. So, as we…
Where does the time go? Another two months has passed and I’m now finally getting around to posting the weekly playlists. As I’m sure many of you can relate, that span of time as been a total blur of making the holiday rounds and all that goes with it. As for the weekly show, we’ve…
Here’s the second in the series of FFF year-end pieces. This time around I combed through the hundreds of tapes that arrived this year, either through direct purchases or through artist/label submissions, and pulled together a small overview of the things that really stood out. As I noted with the previous reissue/archival list, I could’ve…
