For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Lawrence English on the show. I’ve known Lawrence for almost two decades now, and I am in constant awe of his music, his drive, and the way he builds community through his work. A new collaboration with Akira Kosemura has my attention right now, but I know there’s always something else lurking around the next corner. Our conversation is winding, vaguely on topic (and in the usual format), but we hit some high points with his love of anime, the power of Public Enemy to open windows, Merzbow’s uplifting spirit, the surprise of Ace Frehley’s solo album, Sakamoto bringing out the tears, and so much more!

Listen to all of Lawrence’s picks HERE (note that we didn’t get to all these picks in the episode!)
