Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you all had decent holidays, however you celebrate (or not), and are feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on meaningful and inspiring things in the year ahead. I’ve got a lot of great new material that arrived in the past month to cover on this installment, ranging from ramshackle…
On this episode of the podcast, I play selections from some of my favorite releases of 2019. These are taken from the lists of favorite albums, tapes, and reissue & archival releases that I posted on the Free Form Freakout website this past week. If you check those out, you’ll find that there are 60…
After sifting through all of the playlists for the year for both the podcast and for the weekly Free Form Freakout show, while also taking into consideration the review and current listening piles, I’ve put together a barebones, blurb-less list of some of my favorite albums, tapes, and reissue & archival releases of the year.…
On this episode of the podcast, we continue to work our way through a stack of mostly new music that has found its way to the FFF bunker before we close the books on 2019. In fact, we’ll be doing one more show before the year is through, perhaps a look back on some favorites…

Of course, what this means for me is an increase in layers, coffee consumption, and time spent in the FFF bunker listening to music. Fortunately, in regards…

My summer is quickly coming to an end, so I thought I’d take some time to highlight a bunch of newer music on this installment that I’ve gotten ahold of here in recent months and some things that have slipped through the cracks on me over the summertime. There is some truly great new material…
