Songs of Our Lives

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Josh Mason! Josh and I go way, way back (his album, “Timecode Beach,” originally released on Digitalis remains one of my favorite things I helped put into the world), and over the years (decades!?), he has continued making music that simultaneously challenges and moves me. His newest, “Kicking a Dark Horse,” is one of the most impressive things he’s done yet. So we talk about that plus a ton of songs from the likes of Reversal of Man, Hendrix, Hot Water Music, Flim & the BBs, Go Sailor, Winger, Yume Bitsu + plenty more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Ben Vida! I can’t overemphasize how much of a fan I am of Ben’s work generally, and especially his latest album, “Oblivion Seekers.” It follows-up the brilliant “The Beat My Head Hit,” and as ever, there is nobody working with language in the way Ben does, and in a way that I find utterly captivating. We talk all about it before getting into the likes of Caetano Veloso, Old & New Dreams, Mayo Thompson, VU, Kraftwerk, Metallica, Van Morrison, US Maple and plenty more!
