On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Tomin! This one feels full circle. Ever since learning about Tomin’s music nearly four years ago, I’ve felt a special connection to it. It’s been hard to explain, but after seeing his picks for this episode and talking to him about them, it makes a lot more sense. His latest record, “A Willed and Conscious Balance,” is out now International Anthem and is such a special listen. We talk about that, his cheat code of a band, and plenty more before diving into TLC’s eye-opening impact, the all-time greatness of jaimie branch, the absurdly underappreciated Marvin Hannibal Peterson, living in the same timeline as Alice Coltrane, transcending with Ballake Sissiko, Charles Mingus, James Brandon Lewis, John Coltrane, and loads more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s amelia courthouse! I loved her last album, “ruby glass,” a lot, but the connection with the new one, “broken things,” runs so much deeper. We talked about growing up with church hymns and the affinity we still feel for a lot of that music before diving into one hell of an episode. We get into why there can only ever be one Leonard Cohen, obsessing over 80s Bob Dylan, finally getting Fleetwood Mac , the magic and catharsis of Larry Young, Beth Nielson Chapman crushing us, Vince Gill, The Handsome Family, The Velvets, and so much more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Chuck Johnson! His new album, “Sun Glories,” has been out for a few months, but it’s hitting harder as the temperatures finally drop here. We got into the record, the nature of collaboration, hope, and more before digging into his picks. Chuck kept me on my toes as we chatted about Donna Summer’s greatness, Hamza el Din stopping you in your tracks, Beth Gibbons’ incredible range, Pauline Oliveros deep cuts, David Bowie, SANAM, Queen, and more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Sarah Davachi! Sarah’s one of the hardest working people in world of experimental composition, so much so that she has TWO new releases out and on the way . Her latest, “The Head As Form’d In The Crier’s Choir,” came out last month, and it’s incredible. In November, “Music For A Bellowing Room” - a durational piece made in collaboration with filmmaker Dicky Bahto - will be released. It all feels like a dream. Even with that, Sarah took the time to chat with me about early Steve Miller Band memories, the genius of Prince, when things finally click, the improbability of Butthole Surfers, Genesis, John Frusciante, Bobb Trimble, and so much more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Darius Jones! He’s been on a tear in recent years, and his last three albums - including the latest, “Legend of e’Boi (The Hypervigilant Eye)” - have really left a mark on me. I was thrilled to talk to Darius about the new record, his mental health journey, and so much more. We get into George Clinton’s all-timer status, classic Jacko, Andy Bey being weird and great, Meshell Ndegeocello’s multiple talents, the magic connection between MF Doom and Madlib, Henry Threadgill, Patti Labelle, and more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Mali Obomsawin! I’ve wanted to have Mali on the show for a while so when “symbiont,” her incredible new album in collaboration with Jake Blount was announced, I knew this was a perfect opportunity.

After talking a bit about the record and working with Jake, we get into all the hits… Prince, ODB, Tom Petty, how great Labrys is, Roy Orbison’s wild arrangements. the Beatles politics, Bob Dylan’s sexy side, and loads more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Jake Blount! He’s got a new record in collaboration with Mali Obomsawin, “symbiont,” coming out on Smithsonian Folkways later this month. It’s absolutely incredible. We talk about how he and Mali came to work together and dig into the album a bit before going in on a bunch of songs. We talk about unlikely stadium anthems, Imogen Heap not getting the recognition she should, the amazing sound of the jouhikko, the beauty and heartbreak of Brown Bird, reassessing Linkin Park, Fiona Apple, Trent Reznor, Our Native Daughters, and more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Wendy Eisenberg! Their new album, “Viewfinder,” just might finally answer the important question of, “Can I love a Wendy Eisenberg album more than I love ‘Auto’?” Beyond that, we get into the almost-literal timelessness of “Greensleaves,” the all-time great Beach Boys’ tune, love for Willie Nelson, GG Allin shocking us in unexpected ways, Cindy Lee, Elliot Smith, Beefheart, and more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Dialect! I can’t stop listening to and thinking about his new album, The Atlas of Green. As I get deeper into it, new layers of its narrative are revealed, and sonically it’s just a delicate, beautiful excursion. So we talk about all of that plus making sample libraries before going long on Bonnie Raitt’s heartbreak, where “Pyramid Song” sits in the pantheon, Mr. Bungle hot takes, the genius of Prefab Sprout, Clarissa Connelly, Jenny Hval, and so much more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s more eaze! It took us a year, but we finally made this episode happen and the wait was well worth it. We could have chatted for hours about both of her new records - ---__--____ ‘s “Night of Fire” and the solo splendor of “lacuna & parlor,” but there was so much more to talk about. We go long on a song about a dog that is absolutely crushing, the distressing genius of The Red Krayola, Robert Ashley’s all-timer of all-timers, Astrid Sonne, Parsley Sound, Sufjan, and so much more!

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!

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!

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! PLUS, one of Nick’s answers to one of the Patreon questions was so much fun that I moved it into the regular episode - woohoo, bonus!

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 Hancock gems, discovering “Hey Ya” way late, admiration for Juana Molina blazing her own path, TOTO going to levels, + so much more!

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.

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, and so much more.

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 songs that have stuck with him. We get into the all-time greatness of Buddy Red Bow, formative connections with 90s R&B luminaries like SWV, Donny Hathaway’s romantic notions, sadness in Willie Nelson’s voice, wake singing, Nevad Brave, and so much more.

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 broke our internet connection!) with one of her picks. Ha! This was a blast and there’s so much more, too!

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, sharing music with a partner, getting hyped by Sleater Kinney, death by Joanna Newsom, and so much more!
