Having done a couple of special feature shows on the last few episodes of the FFFoxy Podcast, the new music was starting to pile up in the ever so slow to be refurbished FFF bunker. Seriously, listening to, and trying to make sense of, music over the past two months has involved sitting amongst stacks…
With summer starting to wind down for us, we were trying to cram in as much as we could during the month of August making it, at times, tricky for both of us to be in the studio together for the weekly radio show. As such, David ended up doing show #424 solo, and this…
For the fifth consecutive summer, our pal Chris Berry of Minneapolis-based Soft Abuse Records joined us in the studio to spin some records from his vast collection and to talk a little shop about his label activities. This time around it included discussion of Fruits & Flowers, a new label he recently started up with…
On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, we featured music from Little Big Chief Records and spoke with Brock Kappers, who is the gentleman that runs the label out in Virginia. Little Big Chief has been around for about three years now – putting out a mix of reissues and new material from artists that…

It has been a busy past couple of weeks around here in FFF land making it difficult for Carl and I to meet up for the regular weekly shows. Fortunately, we have had local music head and vinyl fiend, Jameson Sweiger, sitting in with us on these occasions when the other is gone. He’s been…
On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, we delved into the latest collaborative endeavor from a core group of artists that have been long-time favorites of ours on the show: Nathan McLaughlin, Joe Houpert, Cody Yantis, and Josh Mason. For the past two years, they have been working on an ambitious series of releases under…
On this episode of the FFFoxy Podcast, we sifted through loads of (mostly) new music that we have acquired in the past month or so. Lots of terrific tape releases this time around, of which we’re especially loving the dark thriller “soundtrack” work of Yves Malone, the hypnotic rhythmic throb of Safehouse, the bittersweet pop…
On this week’s show, we discussed and played tracks from a bunch of artists that will be performing at Heliotrope X, the long-running annual three-day festival highlighting the Twin Cities vibrant underground music community. We’re especially looking forward to checking out Weakwick (*tape pictured above) and American Cream – a couple of bands whose music…
