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…
It has been a busy time for us here at FFF, realized that we haven’t posted any of the Thursday show’s playlists for several weeks now. With this round, we started off with Carl talking up some of the Black Friday festivities taking place at his store on show #439 and we capped things off…
It’s mid-November and we’re already grumbling about the bitter cold weather around these parts. Thank goodness we had some essential reissues to discuss over the past few weeks to keep us distracted. I’m referring to the new Captain Beefheart Sun Zoom Spark: 1970 to 1972 box set, the new deluxe edition of The Kink’s Muswell…
It has been a fun, yet busy, past couple of weeks here. We were fortunate to have Nathan McLaughlin drop by the studio and join us on episode #434. It’s always a pleasure to have him in town and to get to talk music, life, etc. The guy certainly knows a thing or two about…
As far as the last few weeks of the Thursday show go, I could write about a few of the record store scores that I played or even some of the old cassette tapes that I dug out of an old drawer, but I can hardly bring myself to write about any of this…
There was lots to talk about and lots to play over the past few weeks on the show. First and foremost, we were fortunate enough to get see the epic hometown reunion of The Replacements at Midway Stadium, which turned out being one of the most memorable shows we’ve seen in quite some time. With…
With summer starting to wind down for us, we were trying to cram in as much as we could during the month of August making it, at times, tricky for both of us to be in the studio together for the weekly radio show. As such, David ended up doing show #424 solo, and this…
Been enjoying a stretch of beautiful summer weather around these parts, and I think we’ve found the perfect soundtrack for these days in The Garment District’s new album called If You Take Your Magic Slow. We couldn’t agree more with their label’s description of the album that reads: “A mix of surreal instrumentals and subtle…
It has been a busy past couple of weeks around here in FFF land making it difficult for Carl and I to meet up for the regular weekly shows. Fortunately, we have had local music head and vinyl fiend, Jameson Sweiger, sitting in with us on these occasions when the other is gone. He’s been…
On this week’s show, we discussed and played tracks from a bunch of artists that will be performing at Heliotrope X, the long-running annual three-day festival highlighting the Twin Cities vibrant underground music community. We’re especially looking forward to checking out Weakwick (*tape pictured above) and American Cream – a couple of bands whose music…
