There was loads of excellent new cassette material to play on this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, among this a couple of cool ones from the Night People label (now based in the Twin Cities), some wonky found sound/loop-based weirdness from Cruudeuces and Woven Hare (not to mention an unclassifiable piece by Good Area offshoot,…
On this week’s show, we played a few tracks centered around some current and upcoming events: the passing of free jazz legend Arthur Doyle, the recent reissue of The Viktor Dimisch Band’s output, and an upcoming live appearance by Loop in the Twin Cities in April. Carl felt compelled to launch into his first Guilty…
Another week, another show, and, yes, we were still grumbling about the weather in our customary Minnesota fashion. Carl tried to trick himself and others into a warm weather state-of-mind by playing songs about summer and all things hot. David broke out some rockers and some Maher Shalal Hash Baz, who always has a way…
Field Hymns, started in late-2009 by Dylan McConnell, is a Portland-based cassette label that has put together an impressive catalog of mostly experimental and electronic-leaning sounds. McConnell is a talented artist in his own right. His music under the names Adderall Canyonly and Oxykitten and his graphic design work under the banner Tiny Little Hammers…
Last week, we mentioned we were dealing with sub-zero temperatures; this week, it was blizzard-like conditions that actually prevented Carl from making it up to the radio station. David tried to hold down the fort, spinning some favorites both new and old. Though long overdue, it felt like the right time to play something from…

Our playlist for today’s show, though unintentional, seemed to capture the flux of lethargy and pent-up energy that sets in after spending several days hunkered down inside. The new Black…
We wanted to get one more podcast show in before the new year as we had, and still have, a bunch of incredible new music we wanted to share and spotlight. We briefly discussed the return of the Oakland-based imprint DNT Records, gave props to House of Alchemy for their latest batch of tapes (perhaps…
During the first half of this week’s show, David spun some of his recent acquisitions from over the holidays, where he put his gift cards to good use to grip the 45th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of the Velvet Underground’s seminal White Light/White Heat album and Captain Beefheart’s lost classic Bat Chain Puller, amongst other used bin…
As is often the case when David does the weekly show on his own, he’ll break out some ridiculously lengthy numbers to avoid babbling on about record labels, personnel, and release dates that few people could give a rip about. This time around it was an epic 19-minute piece from the Swedish free jazz big…
Here is the follow-up to our previous list of favorite tapes of the year. This is a list of twenty albums, both new and reissued works, that we played on our podcast show throughout the year that truly captured our attention and imagination. As we mentioned before, there are a number of other artists, releases,…
