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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
We have a jam-packed new installment of the FFFoxy Podcast for you this time around with a selection of mostly newer sounds picked out, along with a few choice older cuts from some crucial releases that seemed to fit in nicely. Got some heavy new LP offerings from the likes of The Coolies, CCR Headcleaner,…
It’s been a hectic past couple of weeks around the FFF bunker, but we’re happy to finally bring you a new installment of the podcast. We have a special show put together for you this time around, a feature on Crisis of Taste, a superb new “independent publisher/distributor of generally unclassifiable music, print, etc.” that…
Since the last podcast show, things have changed over dramatically from Summer to Autumn here in Minnesota with some refreshingly cool and absolutely beautiful days of late. It’s my favorite time of year, so I welcome the change. It has also been refreshing spending the last couple of weeks assembling the music for this latest…
