On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Ben Vida! I can’t overemphasize how much of a fan I am of Ben’s work generally, and especially his latest album, “Oblivion Seekers.” It follows-up the brilliant “The Beat My Head Hit,” and as ever, there is nobody working with language in the way Ben does, and in a way that I find utterly captivating. We talk all about it before getting into the likes of Caetano Veloso, Old & New Dreams, Mayo Thompson, VU, Kraftwerk, Metallica, Van Morrison, US Maple and plenty more!
