Here’s what has been happening on the weekly Thursday edition of Free Form Freakout over the past couple of months. In that span of time, we put together a loosely-themed show for the 4th of July, hosted the Mountain Movers for a concert here in town, marked the too-early passing of the great beatmaker Ras G, and spun some excellent new albums by Félicia Atkinson, Avery R. Young, Taiwan Housing Project, Purple Mountains and more.
