Foxy Digitalis ·

2024/01/09

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Burial Beer Company and Visuals Wine’s Tim Gormley on the show. We get deep into the origins of Burial and the ways music inspired them then and continues to as the brand grows into new spaces (they’ve just opened a music venue in Asheville called Eulogy). It was an interesting conversation about the ways music shapes so many of the things we do. Eventually we get into the goods, going on about breakdancing kits featuring Herbie Hancock, the

2024/01/02

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Andrew Weathers on the show. Few people have been involved in more of my favorite albums over the last 10+ years, so I was thrilled to chat with him. Andrew’s a real one. We talk about a lot of pop punk, what made Roy Orbison finally click, the sweeter side of Bill Callahan, how improbable and seriously fun The Highwaymen are, American Analog Set’s all-time greatness, and loads more!Listen to all of Andrew’s picks HEREAndrew Weathers” A Cardinal With

2023/12/26

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Aquarelle aka Ryan Potts on the show. After we talk a bit about his massively underappreciated 2023 album, Verdant Machine, we get into the goods and realize we might just be the same person. We ramble about how much the Ghostbuster theme bangs, the art of being loud, what it is about Trent Reznor that doesn’t quite work for us, how there’s nobody else like Joanna Newsom, one of the best voices we’ve ever heard, the other side of James Brown, the

2023/12/22

On this episode of the Foxy Digitalis Podcast, I basically talk about myself. I published the big year-end article on the site yesterday, so if you missed it - go check it out! This episode, though, is a recap of the things I was up to with my own work this year, including new albums, new podcasts, and the first public-facing event of a number of eco-focused projects I’m doing. Thanks to everyone for listening and supporting my work and Foxy Digitalis - it means the freaking world.This Week’s

A Cult Love Christmas - Songs of Our Lives #13

Foxy Digitalis ·

2023/12/19

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s a Cult Love Christmas Special w/ Natty and Lauran! Cult Love Sound is a Tulsa staple. They’re a collective that runs a label, puts on shows and other events, promotes all things weird and interesting in town, and so much more. I headed on over to the Cult House so we can talk about why they decided to make a traditional Christmas album, Snoop Dogg AI, drunken pudding demands, the genius of Lil B, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and loads more!Listen to all of our picks

On this episode of the Foxy Digitalis Podcast, my brain is completely and utterly fried and I am just counting down the seconds until things go a little quiet after next week (I thought about literally just counting backwards from however many seconds there are between when I’m writing this and next Friday at 5 PM, but spared y’all). This week’s pick is three heavyweights creating incredible soundscapes unlike anything I’ve ever heard. Plus a couple lovely bits I’ve been listening to from Mexico and

Andrew Pekler - Songs of Our Lives #12

Foxy Digitalis ·

2023/12/12

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Andrew Pekler on the show. Andrew’s new album as SG, For Lovers Only / Rain Suite is an absolute gem - an album I keep returning to this year. After chatting about the record for a bit, we get into the all-encompassing everything of Bo Diddley, the new Beatlemania, a magic combination of a relentless rhythm + sweet melody, discovering electronic music, Coltrane at his most romantic, the overwhelming appeal of “Strawberry Fields Forever,” Jon Hassell’s

Zach Robinson - Songs of Our Lives #11

2023/12/05

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite film composer Zach Robinson on the show. Foxy Digitalis fans may remember Zach from the recent oral history of D/A/D’s “Love Will Make You Stay.” After getting into his recent and upcoming work (Obliterated on Netflix and season six of Cobra Kai), we go into some surprising zones. Zach’s got some great picks that lead us to a surprising side of Kenny G, the unbridled joy of T-Square, Celine Dion’s masterstroke, Drab Majesty’s appeal, the

2023/12/01

On this episode of the Foxy Digitalis Podcast, Gregg Kowalsky swings by to talk about his latest album, Eso Es, and how it ended up being something in a different sound world. It’s such a great album, and it was great to catch up. Plus, the album of the week utterly blew my mind and just came out of nowhere (well not true, it’s from Udmurtia). post-dukes are the realest deal. There’s been some exciting new releases announced recently, too, plus one from yours truly - The North Sea’s “Somewhere

Natasha Pickowicz - Songs of Our Lives #10

2023/11/28

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite chef and writer Natasha Pickowicz on the show. Natasha is a three-time James Beard Award finalist who published her first cookbook, More Than Cake, earlier this year. We have known each other for over a decade now as she did some incredible interviews for Foxy Digitalis in its last iteration. She has opened up the world of baking to me in the same way Monty Don opened the world of gardening to me, and I was thrilled to chat about she finally gave me

2023/11/21

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe on the show. After learning about how he first got into soundtracking and scoring work and I tell a story about the time we actually met in person, Robert brings the heat. We wade well beyond the deep end, getting into the enigmatic wonder of Yoko Ono, the lyrical brilliance of Damon Locks, Sade always bringing the mood, the beauty behind “Chemirocha,” and why you just can’t do it anymore with one of the greatest pop songs

On this episode of the Foxy Digitalis Podcast, I don’t really talk about the new Andre 3000 album, but I know a lot of people are excited about (myself included!), so maybe next time. The morning before I recorded this, I woke up early, got lost in the fog, and ended up writing a new Charlatan song around daybreak - and it was so, so nice. Go over to the Patreon to give it a listen!But, TWO - count’ em TWO - albums of the week since the podcast will be off next week (holiday vibes), and it’s my show

2023/11/14

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Niecy Blues on the show! Their new album, “Exit Simulation,” is one of 2023’s most astonishing debuts. After talking a little about that and growing up in Oklahoma, we dig into how Syreeta is one of the all-timers, getting suckered by fast food indie folk, the world of Gospel and Contemporary Christian music, one of the ultimate hype songs, asking ‘What would Kate Bush Do?” and loads more!Listen to all of Niecy’s picks HERE“Exit Simulation” on Kranky

A full-house today in the Foxy Digitalis zone. A quick recap on the opening week(end) of my exhibition, “The Sound Leaves,” which was among the best times I’ve had in a while. I need to do more of that! Plus there’s some real bangers out this week, especially my Album of the Week from the great Lau Nau. And if that wasn’t enough, around 12 minutes in, I have a conversation with RVNG Intl’s Matt Werth about the new boxed set of Pauline Anna Strom reissues - essential listening if there ever was!Album

Patrick Shiroishi - Songs of Our Lives #7

Foxy Digitalis ·

2023/11/07

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Patrick Shiroishi on the show. It would take a novel to list all the incredible things Patrick is doing these days, but notably he has new album out this week, “I was too young to hear silence” on American Dreams. He’s also a member of The Armed, and has a dizzying array of collaborative projects on every single burner. We get into the wild backstory of Doraemon, the power of a wordless chorus, teenage screamo dreams, the levels of K-Dot, and our

The Seltzer Salon #20: Carlos Niño

Foxy Digitalis ·

2023/11/02

I’ve often wondered, while listening to any number of Carlos Niño’s projects or records, what a typical day of his looks like. I used that as a jumping off point to talk to him about collaboration and working as a producer, particularly his involvement with Thandi Ntuli’s beautiful new record, Rainbow Revisited. He shared stories about what drew him to her sound, touring Europe with Laraaji, and the community that makes his work hum. Carlos’s latest record, (I’m just) Chillin’, on Fire is out now on

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite the inimitable Larry Wish on the show! After talking a bit about his latest album, “Capricorn Sun,” and some of his characters (Composerhead!), we get into the meat of the episode. From breaking music boxes as a child and the sad, wonderfulness of Scott 3 to a world where only one song - the perfect song exists and the true avant garde nature of Nickelback.Listen to all of Larry’s picks HERE.Capricorn SunLarry Wish’s BandcampLarry Wish on
