Songs of Our Lives ·

2024/08/27

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Lia Kohl! How can you not love an album that finds beauty in refrigerator hums and ringtones? That’s what Lia Kohl’s new album, “Normal Sounds,” does (among many other things!). We talk about that a bit before getting into how much we love Sade, Mendelssohn bops, learning to appreciate metal through Meshuggah, being careful with your words, T-Pain’s birthday love, the everything of Nina Simone, and plenty more!Listen to all of Lia’s picks HERELia Kohl

2024/08/20

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s David Grubbs! I often ask myself, is there anything David can’t do? I’m pretty sure the answer is no. We talked a fair bit about his new record with Loren Connors, “Evening Air,” before going down all sorts of rabbit holes about Mayo Thompson and The Red Krayola, the expansive magic of The Modern Lovers, Van Dyke Parks walking the line of something bananas and genius, Myriam Gendron breaking us to bits, Isaac Hayes, Bob Dylan, and so much more!Listen to

Nick Zanca - Songs of Our Lives #47

Songs of Our Lives ·

2024/08/13

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Nick Zanca! His new album, “Hindsight,” feels like Nick in record form in a lot of ways. It’s clearly a record he’s wanted to make all of his life. We dig into that and what it’s like to see that realized before diving into how many Americans have a Disney-song memory, Milton Nascimiento’s magnificence, Pat Matheny Group’s killer ECM run, moving past James Blake, the sweet joy of Labi Siffre, John Martyn making sexy as hell music, King Crimson, and more

Anna Butterss - Songs of Our Lives #46

Songs of Our Lives ·

2024/08/06

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Anna Butterss! When it comes to bass players, Anna Butterss is in rarified air. But there is so much more to their sonic practice (just listen to 2022’s incredible “Activities”!), and we get to hear yet another side of their playing on Small Medium Large’s debut, “SML.” We talk all about that, playing with Jeff Parker and Jason Isbell, and then dive into the greatness of Meshell Ndegeocello, Courtney Barnett being one of THE ones, underappreciated Herbie

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Seth Parker Woods! When it comes to cellists and modern and experimental composition, Seth’s at the top of the call list. His latest offering as part of Wild Up in the Julius Eastman Anthology Series is “The Holy Presence,” and the front of this episode is just an absolute masterclass from Seth about the history and beauty of this piece and what makes Eastman such an important figure. From there we talk about the perfection of The Temptations, Rachael

Tashi Wada - Songs of Our Lives #44

Songs of Our Lives ·

2024/07/23

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Tashi Wada! This episode unfolds a little bit differently than usual, but the general spirit of it is right in the sweet spot. Tashi’s new album, “What Is Not Strange?” is such a beautiful, vulnerable expression that reveals itself through deep, focused listening. After talking a bit about that, we move into memories of his father’s music, the emotional weight of Philip Glass, La Monte Young’s sonic middle finger, having fun with Hosono, Pandit Pran Nath,

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Joe Rainey! His new project, Bizhiki, with Dylan Bizhikiins Jennings and Sean Carey, have made one of 2024’s best albums, “Unbound.” The combination of traditional and ceremonial rhythms and singing melded with contemporary production and instrumentation results in a moving, powerful album unlike anything else. We talked a lot about Rainey’s history with pow wows and pow wow singing while growing up on the south side of Minneapolis before digging into

Jae Soto - Songs of Our Lives #42

Songs of Our Lives ·

2024/07/09

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Jae Soto! Her debut album, “Leave the Light On,” has quickly become one of my favorites of 2024. It’s special and I can’t stop listening to it. After talking a bit about that, we get into the beauty of Linda Perhacs’ music, Gal Costa’s infectious sounds, making interplanetary friends with The Golden Girls, Jackie Wilson taking everyone beyond, ML Buch’s unique palette, Deerhoof showing that anything is possible, and she even challenged the cosmos (and

Yann Novak - Songs of Our Lives #41

Songs of Our Lives ·

2024/07/02

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Yann Novak! There’s so many things Yann does that are important in my life - from his music (check out the upcoming “Voices of Theseus”!) and label to his supportive approach with artists - so it was so great to have this conversation. We get into the gravity of Anohni and the Johnsons, being surprised by Billie Eilish, Devendra Banhart’s moment, claire rousay’s music clicking, Rabbit in the Moon going supernova, losing love for a Flaming Lips classic,

After talking about his band, we get into early house shows performing Green Day songs, Johnny Frierson lighting up the world, the perfection of Faces, the poetry of Bill Callahan, the best version of “You’ve Got a Friend,” Natural Child going for it, the greatness of Ted Lucas, and loads more!Listen to all of Jeffrey’s picks HERE“Roseway”Jeffrey’s WebsiteTed Lucas tribute

Loula Yorke - Songs of Our Lives #39

Songs of Our Lives ·

2024/06/18

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Loula Yorke! Ever since our paths crossed a couple years ago, I’ve become a huge admirer of all the various components in Loula’s creative practice. Her new mixtape series is (along with her recent album, “Volta”) one of my favorite things happening in 2024. Plus, I’m not sure I’ve laughed more during an episode than this one! So, after talking through both of those things, we get into jamming to ABBA, Mira Calix and Oliver Coates destroying us, Candi

2024/06/11

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Cadence Weapon on on the show. After talking about his fantastic new record, “ROLLERCOASTER,” and the ways we unearth new music, the party really starts. We go into busting a move with James Brown, Merle’s other side, annoying people with Ian Dury, The Flamingos going to another dimension, when Frank Ocean flipped the script, Steely Dan’s best lyrics, why you shouldn’t take on Kendrick Lamar, a version of Nirvana better than Nirvana, where it all

Lawrence English - Songs of Our Lives #37

Songs of Our Lives ·

2024/06/04

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Lawrence English on the show. I’ve known Lawrence for almost two decades now, and I am in constant awe of his music, his drive, and the way he builds community through his work. A new collaboration with Akira Kosemura has my attention right now, but I know there’s always something else lurking around the next corner. Our conversation is winding, vaguely on topic (and in the usual format), but we hit some high points with his love of anime, the power

2024/05/28

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Matthew Sage on the show. His band, Fuubutsushi has a new album out in June called “Meridians” and it is dosed with magic. After chatting about that for a bit and his decision to take cached.media off Bandcamp, we get into it. Imagining existing in world before Erik Satie, learning to love Paul McCartney, Black Dice’s unfathomable music, the undeniable genius of Bill Evans, being crushed by Joanna Newsom, Daft Punk turning on the lights, having your

Shane Parish - Songs of Our Lives #35

Songs of Our Lives ·

2024/05/21

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Shane Parish on the show. When it comes to modern guitar gods, Shane is right up there for me. I am constantly amazed by not just what he can play, but HOW he plays - there is so much subtlety, emotional depth, and joy in it that it becomes infectious. His new album, “Repetoire,” is an absolute triumph. After we get into that and his love of transcribing music for solo guitar, we go all out with one of Dylan’s most brutal songs, loving life with Nina

Myriam Gendron - Songs of Our Lives #34

Songs of Our Lives ·

2024/05/14

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Myriam Gendron on the show. Suffice to say, Myriam is one of my favorite musicians and songwriters on the planet, and her newest album, Mayday, only cements that further. Beyond all the great music we talked about, Myriam brought up an interesting point around thinking about songs vs. performances that I am still pondering weeks later. But, with that, we talked about getting destroyed by Nico, the most beautiful melody in history, Guns N Roses lack of

Jharis Yokley - Songs of Our Lives #33

Songs of Our Lives ·

2024/05/07

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Jharis Yokley on the show. Jharis’s debut album, "Sometimes, Late At Night,” has been in constant rotation for a while. I knew he was an incredible drummer, but had no idea just how good a songwriter he is, too. After talking a bit about the record, we go long with how Disney songs ingrain in our memories, the hardest anime theme around, Bee Gees making us feel good, Herbie Hancock raising his own level, lots of love for ABBA, Kanye’s best lyrics,

Emil Amos - Songs of Our Lives #30

Songs of Our Lives ·

2024/04/16

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Emil Amos on the show! We went way off script and got into all sorts of rabbit holes, but this was such a good time. After a lengthy discussion about tape music and trading in the 90s, Emil gets into the storyzone talking about whether Guns N Roses still has redeeming qualities, the genius and repulsion of Sun City Girls, Miami bass, making aliens come to terms with George Jones, Jerry Garcia, and plenty more.Listen to all of Emil’s picks HEREGrails
