FFFreakout #446-448

  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…

FFFoxy Podcast #51: OSR Tapes feature

  On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, we spoke with Zach Phillips of OSR Tapes. Started in Brattleboro, Vermont, and now based in Brooklyn, New York, OSR Tapes has issued a number of terrific releases over the past few years that veer into grey areas of leftfield pop and other unclassifiable sounds. This past…

FFFreakout #443-445

It has happened only one other time in our show’s history where the weekly show has landed on three consecutive observed holidays. 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…

FFFoxy Podcast #50

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…

FFFavorite Albums of 2014

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…

FFFreakout #439-442

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…

FFFoxy Podcast #49

On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast show, the last one for the year, we dug into plenty of new music that has arrived in recent months. We also pulled out a few older releases to play and a couple of titles from earlier in the year that we wanted to re-visit for one reason…

FFFavorite Tapes of 2014

Here is the second of three year-end favorites lists that will be posted on our site during the month of December. This time around the focus is on tapes, and man did I listen to literally hundreds of ’em throughout the year. This is just a small sampling of some of the stuff that rose…

FFFavorite Reissues/Archival Releases of 2014

This is the first of three year-end favorites lists that I will be posting on our site over the next few weeks. Since there has been no shortage of terrific reissues coming out this year, it seemed appropriate to focus in on these separately from the other cassettes and albums that will be covered. I…

FFFoxy Podcast #48

This episode of the FFFoxy Podcast runs the stylistic gamut maybe more noticeably than usual. Throughout the show you’ll hear everything from saccharine pop songs (Piano Movers, Jerry Paper) to blasted riff rock (Exhaustion, Shooting Guns) to text-based shenanigans (Yeast Culture, The Hafler Trio) and several points in between. There simply was a lot of…
