Here’s what has been happening on the regular Thursday edition of Free Form Freakout over the past couple of months. During that time, we had a chance to see concerts from long-time favorites, Stereolab and Bob Dylan, and to take part in another successful KMSU Fall Pledge Drive. Sincere thanks to everyone that chipped in…
On this installment of the podcast show, we get back to playing a bunch of new releases, many of which have just come out within the last month or so, and many by artists that I haven’t played on the show before. So, I’m excited to be sharing this material with you and hopefully you’ll…

We hope that you’ll take a moment out of your day and help us keep this wonderful little radio station alive and kicking on the radio (and online) dial. Your donations are incredibly important to the station, and…
On this installment, I dig into the work of the Austin, Texas-based label, Astral Spirits. Started in 2014 as a tape label that focused on what they dubbed “The New Wave of Heavy Free Jazz”, Astral Spirits has gone on to issue upwards of 115 releases and counting in its five years of operations and…

It’s been a bit of a rough stretch since I last posted our playlists here. In that time, we lost two of our favorite songwriters in Daniel Johnston and David Berman. I can still remember the first time I heard Daniel Johnston’s music. It was in January of 1995 when Pearl Jam took over the local…
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…
We have two new releases available now on our our-house label, Round Bale Recordings. One comes from Clay Cantrell, an old favorite that we discovered through doing the podcast show and the releases that he initially put out on the great House of Alchemy label. The other comes from the offshoot duo project from the…
On this installment of the podcast, I had Stefan Christensen join me in the studio after performing in Mankato the night before.

Since that group disbanded in…
