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…
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…
It’s mid-November and we’re already grumbling about the bitter cold weather around these parts. Thank goodness we had some essential reissues to discuss over the past few weeks to keep us distracted. I’m referring to the new Captain Beefheart Sun Zoom Spark: 1970 to 1972 box set, the new deluxe edition of The Kink’s Muswell…
On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, we spoke with Zully Adler, who records as Banana Head and is the driving force behind Goaty Tapes, a label that has been on our radar from the outset of the podcast show. Adler had actually started the label back in 2007 while still in high school, and…
It has been a fun, yet busy, past couple of weeks here. We were fortunate to have Nathan McLaughlin drop by the studio and join us on episode #434. It’s always a pleasure to have him in town and to get to talk music, life, etc. The guy certainly knows a thing or two about…

In particular, there was lots of great bizarro cassettes to spin; we’ve been especially loving the latest sounds from…
Starting on Wednesday, October 29th, KMSU – the college/community radio station where Free Form Freakout is based out of – will be starting their annual Fall Listener Pledge Drive with the goal of raising $25,000. As with our previous pledge drive in the spring, the station is setting this goal in an effort to not…
For this week’s podcast show, which coincidentally marks our 4th year in existence, we’re thrilled to be able to offer you this special KYE Records feature produced by Nick Hamilton of Vittelli Recordings out of London. As you may recall, Vittelli was responsible for those terrific Matthew P. Hopkins and London Sound Survey albums that…
As far as the last few weeks of the Thursday show go, I could write about a few of the record store scores that I played or even some of the old cassette tapes that I dug out of an old drawer, but I can hardly bring myself to write about any of this…
On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, we had Bob Bucko Jr. – a talented songwriter and adventurous experimental musician based out of Dubuque, Iowa – join us in the studio for a live session and for a brief chat. Bob has put out numerous releases on his own Personal Archives label and has had…
