Here’s what went down on the weekly Thursday edition of Free Form Freakout for the closing month of our often disjointed summer schedule. We were, however, able to do all of the shows during this time span with both of us in the studio, which can be a rarity during the summer months. We also had a chance to see New Order at the Palace Theater in August, and we got things rolling in September with some special blues programming on KMSU. We’ll be back to business as usual in the months ahead. As always, thanks for checking in with us.
