Songs of Our Lives

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Geologist! For decades, I’ve loved the sound of the hurdy gurdy, but I’ve never heard it used like Geologist uses it on his new solo record, “Can I Get A Pack of Camel Lights?” If SST put out a hurdy gurdy record in the late 80s/early 90s, it might sound like this. We talk about the instrument, Keiji Haino, and having fun before getting into songs by Thin Lizzy, Daft Punk, Hall & Oates, Tronics, Dory Previn, Pavement, & plenty more!

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Peter Taylor! I’ve known Peter for nearly 20 years now - he’s a true Foxy Digitalis lifer, having first written for the site around 2006. He also makes music as MAbH, and is the person behind Foxy Digitalis’s Inside No. 9 podcast series. He’s a real one. So I’m thrilled to have him on for the 2025 Christmas Special talking childhood memories, favorite songs, emotional connections, and all of that. Classics by The Waitresses, Wham!, and The Pogues plus Nat King Cole’s golden voice, Cliff Richard’s full-on holidayfest, and plenty more!
