For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Shane Parish on the show. When it comes to modern guitar gods, Shane is right up there for me. I am constantly amazed by not just what he can play, but HOW he plays - there is so much subtlety, emotional depth, and joy in it that it becomes infectious. His new album, “Repetoire,” is an absolute triumph. After we get into that and his love of transcribing music for solo guitar, we go all out with one of Dylan’s most brutal songs, loving life with Nina Simone, Fugazi doing Fugazi things, Coltrane going immortal, Nick Drake and courtship, and finally - FINALLY - someone picks THE answer for which cover song is better than the original. Oh, and there’s loads more, too!

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Myriam Gendron on the show. Suffice to say, Myriam is one of my favorite musicians and songwriters on the planet, and her newest album, Mayday, only cements that further. Beyond all the great music we talked about, Myriam brought up an interesting point around thinking about songs vs. performances that I am still pondering weeks later. But, with that, we talked about getting destroyed by Nico, the most beautiful melody in history, Guns N Roses lack of redeeming qualities, Will Oldham’s beautiful restlessness, contentious Leonard Cohen gems, Rosali on fire, lullabies with Sandy Denny, and so much more!

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Jharis Yokley on the show. Jharis’s debut album, "Sometimes, Late At Night,” has been in constant rotation for a while. I knew he was an incredible drummer, but had no idea just how good a songwriter he is, too. After talking a bit about the record, we go long with how Disney songs ingrain in our memories, the hardest anime theme around, Bee Gees making us feel good, Herbie Hancock raising his own level, lots of love for ABBA, Kanye’s best lyrics, Laura Mvula’s voice from another dimension, and more!

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Emil Amos on the show! We went way off script and got into all sorts of rabbit holes because Emil is such a good storyteller, but this was such a good time. After a lengthy discussion about tape music and trading in the 90s, Emil gets into the storyzone talking about whether Guns N Roses still has redeeming qualities, the genius and repulsion of Sun City Girls, Miami bass, making aliens come to terms with George Jones, Jerry Garcia, and plenty more.

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite claire rousay on the show! When I was developing this show last year, claire was one of the people I knew I wanted to have as a guest. With her excellent new album, “sentiment,” out on April 19 via Thrill Jockey, it was the perfect opportunity to bring her on the show. We talk about her connection with more eaze, what DJ Khaled’s life must be like, the all-time greatness of Prince’s “Dirty Mind,” Kath Bloom and Loren Connors making magic, the most cringe Myspace music there is, learning to love Elliot Smith, Mark Kozelek, how Young Thug is the greatest artist of the last 20 years, and so much more!
