On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Molto Ohm! (aka Matteo Liberatore!) Matteo’s Molto Ohm project has been revelatory, showing such an incredible synthesis of his varying approaches and techniques. His latest record, “Reality Pills,” is somehow both infectious and off-putting, which, of course, makes me love it even more. We talk about its background and creation before getting into Antonio Carlos Jobim, DJ Rashad, Adriano Celentano, Charli XCX, Tracy Chapman, Mina, Radiohead + more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Ben Seretan! What a joy this episode was to record. Ben’s the best. His new album, “Sunbeam of No Illusion,” with John Thayer is one of my early favorites so far this year.

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Tusco Embassy’s Nathan Bowers! This episode is all over the place. Tusco Embassy re-emerged a couple years ago with a series of ‘Roulette’-style compilations - basically, records that will play a different song each time you play it. We get into how it works, why it rules, and all that, so if this sounds confusing, don’t worry! Then we go roulette-style and let the wheel pick the order of the questions (along w/ two Wild Card rounds!). It’s a blast. (Songs from Stevie Wonder, HUNTR/X, Nirvana, VU, Gang of Four, Yes, Thompson Twins, and more!)

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Carlos Giffoni! To me, Carlos is a legend, so it was great to have him on the show. His new album, “Pendulum,” is full of great collaborations (Zola Jesus, Ben Chasny, Greg Kelley, Mabe Fratti, Lea Bertucci, & Iggor Cavalera), and really shows the range of his compositional approaches. Plus, he just announced that No Fun will return in 2026 - hell yes! So, we talk about the new record before getting into all of it from Nirvana and Neil Young to Diamanda Galas, Hecker, Roxy Music, Judee Sill, Low, and more!
