FFFreakout #452-455

With the arrival of spring a bit early around these parts, we’ve been rather neglectful with posting our weekly playlist information to the website over the past month. There certainly has been plenty to discuss over the past several weeks from some live shows taking place in town to some amazing new albums that we’ve…

FFFoxy Podcast #54: Vitrine feature

On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, we started off the show with a premiere excerpt from the Philadelphia-based duo Good Area’s forthcoming LP called Macbeth. This release, following solid efforts out on the reputable Kye and Hanson labels, is due out later in the year on Vitrine, the private imprint started in 2013 by…

FFF’s Blackened Disco mix

Free Form Freakout was recently asked to put together a mix for the Blackened Disco website based out of Russia. We took a quick glance through the previous contributors, some of much are massive favorites of ours, so we figured we would give it a go. The mix that we came up with gets at…

FFFoxy Podcast #53

On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, we played and talked-up several noteworthy reissue/archival-related titles by the likes of Ghedalia Tazartès, Phil Yost, Pip Proud, Aine O’Dwyer and more. We also dipped into the stacks of tapes that we’ve received in recent months to pull out some of our favorites. We’ve been particularly fascinated by…

FFFreakout #449-451

Well, within these past couple of weeks we marked our 9th year of doing Free Form Freakout, and we celebrated in our usual style – by forgetting it altogether. Perhaps it’s for the best to just focus on what’s happening in any given week and just keep moving forward. That’s probably how we’ve managed to…

FFFoxy Podcast #52

On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, we dug into a stack of incredible new tapes that arrived in the past few weeks and months. We’ve been giving these latest tapes from Excess, Ekin Fil, Hound Dog Taylor’s Hand, and Jackie McDowell some heavy boombox play around the FFF bunker, and the just-arrived works from…

FFFreakout #446-448

  We’re getting settled into the new year and into some new programming changes that have taken place on KMSU over the past couple of weeks. There is now a new set of locally-produced shows filling the 3:00 p.m. time slot from Monday-Friday. We’ll now be handing things off to our pal Jameson and his…

FFFoxy Podcast #51: OSR Tapes feature

  On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, we spoke with Zach Phillips of OSR Tapes. Started in Brattleboro, Vermont, and now based in Brooklyn, New York, OSR Tapes has issued a number of terrific releases over the past few years that veer into grey areas of leftfield pop and other unclassifiable sounds. This past…

FFFreakout #443-445

It has happened only one other time in our show’s history where the weekly show has landed on three consecutive observed holidays. We are, of course, talking about Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, and David Bowie & Elvis Presley’s birthdays. We did attempt to do an abbreviated, year-end type show on episode #444 just focusing…

FFFoxy Podcast #50

Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a chance to maybe relax and unwind a bit over the holidays. I’ve had a pleasant week off, but I thought it would be nice to just jump back into things with the podcast. I’ve got some feature shows in the works for the weeks and months ahead, but…
