FFFavorite Albums of 2012

Here's round two of Free Form Freakout's favorite releases of 2012, this time a list of albums that really captured my attention. With a few exceptions, all of these albums have appeared on the podcast shows at some point during the year or certainly will in the weeks ahead. Again, make what you will of the rank-ordered approach to all of this. I'd like to think that if people have checked in on a regular basis, though, that there should be very few surprises here. For me, Jason Lescalleet's Songs About Nothing release really stood out amongst the rest of the albums I heard this year for its sheer unclassifiable boldness and beauty. It's serious music with a sense of humor and purpose that stirs a wide range of emotions and is completely unlike anything else I heard.

FFFavorite Tapes of 2012

Similar to last year, I've decided against doing an end-of-the-year recap-style show for one of the final podcasts of 2012. Instead, I'm planning to just move forward with more new music and with one more feature with Pat Murano (Decimus, Kelippah Records et al). Again, like last year, I've put together an overview of some of my favorite releases that have appeared on the podcast show throughout the year. This week, it's a list of my favorite tapes. In the next week or so, I'll also post a list of some of my favorite albums (and maybe a few reissues too). 

Yes, I went ahead and rank-ordered these, which you can make of whatever you'd like. In general, these were/are the tapes that I keep coming back to, the ones that pull you into a unique soundworld. The Duets tape, however, was for me the clear-cut, no-brainer for best tape release of the year. It features such a seamless mix of music and, in my mind, several of the significant players in the current experimental tape underground. It sort of has the feel of being like the C86 of this particular network of artists and labels, certainly an important document of it at the very least.

You can click on the label links for more information on each release and for ordering purposes. You may also need to check out these fine mailorder sites for availability: Discriminate Music, Tomentosa, Mimaroglu Music Sales, Experimedia, 905 Tapes.

In fact, it didn't even occur to us until after the show was completed that it was anything different. But, I guess that's sort of fitting as the MUSIC has always been our main focus. I would like to, however, extend a big thank you to all the people who have appeared on the show over the years and to all the people that continue to make music that moves and inspires us to keep this show moving forward. Lastly, a big thanks to everyone who carves out the time to STOP and LISTEN.

KMSU kicked off its Fall Pledge Drive this week and we are hoping to hear from some of you FFF listeners out there. Our station relies heavily on listener support to help pay for the majority of its regular operating costs, which seem to be increasing at an alarming rate in recent years. If you value the type of programming that our station offers or what FFF is up to, then we really need to hear from you. You can make a pledge in any dollar amount by calling 507-389-5678 or 1-800-456-7810. You can also donate online at www.kmsu.org.

FFF will be offering some exclusive pledge drive premiums made available by the good folks at De Stijl Records on Thursday's show. For every $25 pledge, you can pick out one of their recent CD releases from CS Yeh, Samara Lubelski, or Robust Worlds.

Also, the station is offering up the amazing 4CD Big Star box set entitled "Keep An Eye On The Sky" at the $100 pledge level. To sweeten the deal, Carl is throwing in an extra $20 gift card to Tune Town for every person that pledges at this level. So, that's some serious extra bang for your buck.

As always, thanks for listening!!

We were thrilled to have Graham Lambkin join us once again on this week's podcast show. This time around our conversation focused primarily on the forthcoming Shadow Ring double LP collection called Remains Unchanged that is due out on his Kye imprint in the coming weeks. This collection is made up of all unreleased material and charts an alternate, yet equally compelling, history of Lambkin’s former group - who created a bold and singular body of work within the decade they were active.

In addition to airing our conversation with Lambkin on this week’s show, we also played several selections from the new Remains Unchanged collection, along with a few other tracks from The Shadow Ring taken from their full-length releases. Graham selected a few additional songs to include as fair examples of the music that influenced The Shadow Ring during different periods in the group's history. And to close out the show, we played a few tracks from other recent Kye releases.

For more information and to order available titles, check out the Kye Records blog. Kye releases are also available from these fine mailorder folks: Mimaroglu, Forced Exposure, Aquarius Records, Volcanic Tongue, Weird Forest, and Eclipse.

*Note: These tracks are also available on the Life Review (1993-2003) 2CD compilation released on Kye.
