On this episode of the Foxy Digitalis Podcast, I talk to R.

We get into that for a while, talk about process, what’s ahead, and a lot more.missing scenes “who is this for?”Foxy Digitalis is an online music resource and organization promoting music in the margins with the idea that sound is for everyone.

It’s BC Friday, hooray? No, it’s a good thing because it means you can shovel some bucks to artists and labels and entities you’d rather not get some of that cash won’t. So, that’s good! Otherwise, just rolling along and dreaming of going back to the planetarium.

On this episode of the Foxy Digitalis Podcast, Sam and I talk about what it’s like to go through demos from the label side of things. Demos are weird, but I also think they’re vital, and in a time where it seems like less and less labels are accepting them, it’s good to have some transparency around the whole thing.Album of the week is, as promised, the crucial new one from Afrikan Sciences. I can’t get enough of this one.Album of the Week: Afrikan Sciences ".5x100Rf(est.1974)”This Week’s Links:Join

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite The Body’s Lee Buford on the show. First, we get the other perspective on Dis Fig & The Body’s “Orchards of a Futile Heaven.” This record just absolutely rips. Then, things go off with the Jason Molina’s crushing music, Neutral Milk Hotel’s being too ubiquitous, music that’s so vapid it rocks, Peter Gabriel’s wild romantic lines, the brutality and awesomeness of “Cop Killer,” Willie Nelson bringing a sadness to someone else’s song that is

On this episode of the Foxy Digitalis Podcast, I talk to Meg Mulhearn about her latest album, “Let It Burn Through the Night” on Ceremony of Seasons. We get into the transformational magic of the winter solstice, multi-sensory listening sessions, and a lot more. And there’s technically not an album of the week this week. It was going to be Afrikan Sciences’s “.5x100Rf(est.1974)” (which is so, so good) and it’ll be a proper pick next week. Promise!This Week’s Links:Meg Mulhearn “Let It Burn Through

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Felicia Chen aka Dis Fig on the show. There are collaborations that just make sense, and one listen to Dis Fig & The Body’s “Orchards of a Futile Heaven” screams that these two projets are meant to collide. After talking about how that happened, we blast off talking about how early is too early for a memory of Naughty by Nature, the desolation Sufjan Stevens can bring, how Earth is also sexy… maybe, earnestness going too far, Senyawa’s magic,

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Helado Negro on the show. After talking a little about his process and the story of Lupe Lopez, he takes us on quite the journey (including me reacting to one of his off-the-cuff picks live - ha!). We get into the all-time greatness of Teddy Pendergrass, Piero’s timeless moments, Bonnie Raitt’s calypso side, the utter seduction of Maria Marquez’s “Loveroom,” Caliban bringing it, the understated magic of Luiz Bonfa, being moved to tears by Xenia

We get into a lot of different things, getting a bit vulnerable in the process, but it feels good to simply talk about things you’re excited about and how to go about keeping that feeling going. Plus, a fantastic new Scanner album christens Robin Rimbaud’s new label, Alltagsmusik. A new release on the Jewel Garden and a couple pay-what-you-want (free) old compilations from the

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Jeremiah Chiu on the show. He’s been on quite a run of incredible records the last couple years, and on February 2nd, it continues with “The Closest Thing to Silence,” a collaboration between himself, Marta Sofia Honer, and the great Ariel Kalma. After talking about how that came together, we keep channel Ariel’s spirit and keep things in the posi-zone, talking about Stevie Wonder’s all-time greatness, the gravity of Ryuichi Sakamoto, the personal

His latest album, “The Aqueduct Walk,” is such a trip - across 40 minutes, it takes us into so many new worlds. It’s such a delight, and I was thrilled to chat with him about it. It’s out now Longform Editions. There’s one hell of an album of the week from Batoh’s new project, nehan.

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Sarah Hennies on the show. We talk a bit about a couple of the many projects Sarah’s working on right now - performances of Michael Ranta pieces and her duo with Tristan Kasten-Krause. I’m not sure there are many people with more happening! Once we get into the songs, the laughs start early and never stop as we talk about the Duke of Dukedom himself, Ivor Cutler’s excellent use of fart noises, how Acetone was hiding in plain sight, the genius and

After reminiscing a bit about the 2007 Digitalis music fest, Bottled Smoke, we talked about both incredible albums Ilyas released in 2023 - his solo joint, “A Dream of Another,” and Grails’ “Anches En Maat.” We had a blast getting into the underrated shredding of Steve Stevens, Velvet Underground’s ability for tender destruction, where you go after making one of the all-time records as your debut, how Bono ruins some great

On this episode of the Foxy Digitalis Podcast, I reflect a little on what Phill Niblock meant to me and the wider world of experimental sound (plus some love for IASOS!).
