Patrick Shirioishi (Episode 7 REWIND) - Songs of Our Lives #86
**This episode was originally published on November 7, 2023, and really, any time is a good time to revisit this hang with Patrick!**For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Patrick Shiroishi on the show. It would take a novel to list all the incredible things Patrick is doing these days, but notably he has new album out this week, “I was too young to hear silence” on American Dreams. He’s also a member of The Armed, and has a dizzying array of collaborative projects on every single burner. We get into the wild backstory of Doraemon, the power of a wordless chorus, teenage screamo dreams, the levels of K-Dot, and our hopes of a new Joanna Newsom album in 2024.Listen to all of Patrick’s picks HEREI was too young to hear silencePatrick Shiroishi’s WebsiteThe ArmedSongs of Our Lives is a podcast series hosted by Brad Rose of Foxy Digitalis that explores the music that's made us and left a certain mark.

Joy Guidry - Songs of Our Lives #85
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Joy Guidry! I’ve admired Joy’s work for years, so it was a real pleasure to finally connect one-on-one. She’s consistently pushed the boundaries of what the bassoon can do, and her latest album, Five Prayers, is a beautifully distilled expression of that evolving vision. We talked about pre-show rituals, Stevie Wonder as the GOAT, how incredible Cleo Sol is, getting a wider view of Tyler, The Creator, Ella Mai, Solange, The Temptations, and so much more!Listen to all of Joy’s picks HERE“Five Prayers”Joy’s websiteJoy on InstagramSongs of Our Lives is a podcast series hosted by Brad Rose of Foxy Digitalis that explores the music that's made us and left a certain mark.

Thor Harris - Songs of Our Lives #84
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Thor Harris! I don’t think Thor needs much introduction, but I have to mention the incredible new Thor & Friends Album, “Heathen Spirituals,” that’s out this week. It’s such a cathartic joy to listen to - so many moving parts, all of it interlocked and moving together beautifully. Thor and I talk about the marimba gifted to him, the album, and plenty more before diving into all things Kraftwerk, Steve Reich’s genius, prog love, Paul McCartney, Chappell Roan, The Jackson 5, and more!Listen to all of Thor’s picks HERE“Heathen Spirituals”Thor’s websiteThor on InstagramSongs of Our Lives is a podcast series hosted by Brad Rose of Foxy Digitalis that explores the music that's made us and left a certain mark.

Sarah Hennies (THE REMIX) - Songs of Our Lives #83
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s the return of Sarah Hennies! I always knew I’d have Sarah back, and with her new album with Tristan Kasten-Krause out now on Dinzu Artefacts, it was the perfect opportunity. (The album is incredible, by the way). We talk a lot about the point of singular genius that is Jandek, belting out “The Piano Man,” Hatebeak, The Shaggs, Cerberus Shoal, Bobby Conn, The Fire Theft, and more!Listen to all of Sarah’s picks HERE“The Quiet Sun”Sarah’s WebsiteSarah’s First EpisodeSongs of Our Lives is a podcast series hosted by Brad Rose of Foxy Digitalis that explores the music that's made us and left a certain mark.

Greg Davis - Songs of Our Lives #82
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Greg Davis! Greg and I go pretty far back - I think I first covered him on Foxy Digitalis when “Curling Pond Woods” came out in 2004, but this year he’s got a new LP from Asterisk, his awesome hip-hop/beats project. With a slew of incredible MCs on board, “No School” is fun, deep, and an incredible record that invites repeat listens. We get into all of that before going long on Brian Eno & John Cale, Norma Tanega, Stevie Wonder, Gerry Rafferty, Nina Simone, MJ, and loads more!Listen to all of Greg’s picks HEREAsterisk “No School”Autumn RecordsGreg’s WebsiteGreg’s BandcampGreg on InstagramSongs of Our Lives is a podcast series hosted by Brad Rose of Foxy Digitalis that explores the music that's made us and left a certain mark.
