Free Form Freakout was recently asked to put together a mix for the Blackened Disco website based out of Russia. We took a quick glance through the previous contributors, some of much are massive favorites of ours, so we figured we would give it a go. The mix that we came up with gets at…
On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, we played and talked-up several noteworthy reissue/archival-related titles by the likes of Ghedalia Tazartès, Phil Yost, Pip Proud, Aine O’Dwyer and more. We also dipped into the stacks of tapes that we’ve received in recent months to pull out some of our favorites. We’ve been particularly fascinated by…
Well, within these past couple of weeks we marked our 9th year of doing Free Form Freakout, and we celebrated in our usual style – by forgetting it altogether. Perhaps it’s for the best to just focus on what’s happening in any given week and just keep moving forward. That’s probably how we’ve managed to…
On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, we dug into a stack of incredible new tapes that arrived in the past few weeks and months. We’ve been giving these latest tapes from Excess, Ekin Fil, Hound Dog Taylor’s Hand, and Jackie McDowell some heavy boombox play around the FFF bunker, and the just-arrived works from…
We’re getting settled into the new year and into some new programming changes that have taken place on KMSU over the past couple of weeks. There is now a new set of locally-produced shows filling the 3:00 p.m. time slot from Monday-Friday. We’ll now be handing things off to our pal Jameson and his…

This past…

We are, of course, talking about Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, and David Bowie & Elvis Presley’s birthdays. We did attempt to do an abbreviated, year-end type show on episode #444 just focusing…
Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a chance to maybe relax and unwind a bit over the holidays. I’ve had a pleasant week off, but I thought it would be nice to just jump back into things with the podcast. I’ve got some feature shows in the works for the weeks and months ahead, but…
Here is the third and final year-end favorites list for 2014 that I’ll be posting on our site. Presented alphabetically and with some gut-level commentary, this list includes a selection of twenty albums that I not only had played on the podcast and/or regular weekly show throughout the year, but ones that I returned to…
It has been a busy time for us here at FFF, realized that we haven’t posted any of the Thursday show’s playlists for several weeks now. With this round, we started off with Carl talking up some of the Black Friday festivities taking place at his store on show #439 and we capped things off…
