On this episode of the podcast, I was joined in the studio by the Minneapolis-based musician and visual artist Jim Blaha. Jim was a member of one of my all-time favorite Twin Cities bands, The Blind Shake, and he later formed Green/Blue, a band I equally admired. In the years since Green/Blue came to an…

On this episode of the podcast, I’ve got another stack of mostly newer releases to play and discuss for you. I’ve had to work at a slightly slower pace with the podcast of late, which, on the plus side, has given me more time to thoroughly listen to and appreciate different aspects of the albums…
On this episode of the podcast, I’ve got a bunch of newer releases and reissues to play and highlight. I feel like I’ve probably been listening to less new music in recent weeks, but I’ve definitely been spending more time overall with each of the releases included in this show. Hope there are a few…
It’s been over a month since the last episode. Let’s just say that life has been rather hectic on a variety of fronts in that time, making it difficult to get a new show produced, but I’m hoping to get back into a more consistent schedule in the summer months ahead. I’ve got a fairly…
On this episode of the podcast show, I dig deeper into the 12XU label run by Gerard Cosloy in Austin, Texas.

On this last episode of the podcast of the year, I’m joined by long-time friends and recurring guests of the show, Glenn Donaldson of The Reds, Pinks, & Purples, and Chris Berry of Soft Abuse Records, for a virtual and very informal roundtable-style discussion about some favorite albums of the year, music trends of 2025,…
I’ve once again compiled some of my favorite releases of the year and presented them below in an unranked, alphabetical list. As in the past, all of these releases have been played on the Free Form Freakout radio and podcast shows or will soon be included in an upcoming episode before the year’s end. Perhaps…
On this episode of the podcast, I get back to highlighting a bunch of brand-new releases, along with some other albums that came out earlier in the year that I’m getting caught up with. I plan to do some type of year-end recap show for the next episode, so be on the lookout for that…
On this installment of the podcast show, we dig into the work of the Santa Fe, New Mexico-based label, PHYSICAL.

This month marks the 15th anniversary of the podcast show. I was considering a few different possibilities for a special episode to mark this minor milestone, or simply moving forward as usual.
