FFFreakout: Best of 2011 List (Podcast Edition)

So, I was considering putting together one final podcast before the end of the year that featured some of my favorite releases from 2011. Since I have a bunch of new stuff that I'm itching to play, I've decided against it for now and have put together this best-of overview instead. I believe all of these releases have appeared on the show at some point throughout the course of the year or soon will for the show that I'm preparing for later this week. I hope there's maybe a few new or overlooked releases you'll want to check out from this list. Scroll through the Free Form Freakout Podcasts section to track down audio on most of these. Thanks for looking and listening.
