FFFoxy Podcast #73

On account of kicking around a few different feature show possibilities and slowly gathering up a decent-sized pile of new music to play, I’m a few weeks overdue on putting a new podcast show together. I can assure you, though, that I haven’t gone into complete hibernation mode, even though we’ve had to endure a…

FFFoxy Podcast #72

Greetings and Happy New Year from a very frigid upper Midwest. As I was stumbling into the studio in the dim early morning hours to record this show, the wind chill was hovering in the sub-zero range and slated to drop even further into the negative double digits in the days ahead. So, as we…

FFFreakout #488-494

Where does the time go? Another two months has passed and I’m now finally getting around to posting the weekly playlists. As I’m sure many of you can relate, that span of time as been a total blur of making the holiday rounds and all that goes with it. As for the weekly show, we’ve…

FFFavorite Tape Releases of 2015

Here’s the second in the series of FFF year-end pieces. This time around I combed through the hundreds of tapes that arrived this year, either through direct purchases or through artist/label submissions, and pulled together a small overview of the things that really stood out. As I noted with the previous reissue/archival list, I could’ve…

FFFoxy Podcast #71

Hope everyone is having a pleasant holiday time of year. I thought I would put together one more show before we all turn the page on 2015, and I think there are some incredible sounds – both new and old – scattered throughout the entirety of this episode. I’m going to keep things brief this…

FFFavorite Reissues/Archival Releases of 2015

As with previous years, I’ll be posting a series of separate year-end lists here on the site over the coming weeks, starting with a few of my favorite reissue/archival releases. With plenty of terrific reissues coming out at a steady clip throughout the year (too many, really), I could’ve easily expanded this list well into…

Troy Schafer “Untitled No. 4” now available

We are pleased to announce that the second release on our in-house label, Round Bale Recordings, is now available to order. Due to the limited nature of this 7″ mono lathe, we will only be selling this release directly through our website at this time. A digital version, however, is available through our Bandcamp site,…

FFFoxy Podcast #70: Pumice feature

We have a very special show for you this week focusing on the work of Pumice, a New Zealand-based project that has been around since the mid-90’s and has since gone on to release a number of superb albums that are stylistically wide-reaching – from battered folk and pop songs to expansive droning chord organ…

FFFoxy Podcast #69

I had mentioned at the end of the last episode that a feature on Pumice was in the works for the weeks ahead, and I can assure you that is indeed still the case. But, in the interest of showcasing some more new music, along with a few recent record fair scores, I thought I’d…

FFFoxy Podcast #68

We’re at mid-November now, so the onslaught of best-of lists and year-end recaps are just right around the corner. As I was putting together this latest installment of the FFFoxy Podcast, though, it occurred to me just how much incredible new music has recently come out or is slated to come out in the weeks…
