New episodes return! On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Ethan Miller! Ethan’s got a new trio record on the way with Bill Orcutt and Steve Shelley (talk about a dream team), so I had to get his side about how that all came into being. Then we wade into the weeds yapping about a good wordless chorus, why the New York Dolls should have been on the Voyager gold record, King Crimson, Dylan, Faust, Sonny Sharrock, Tom Jones, and loads more!
Listen to all of Ethan’s picks HERE

Songs 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. Whether it’s a song we associate with our most important moments, something that makes us cry, the things we love that nobody else does, or our favorite lyrics, we all have our own personal soundtrack.
I’m a rollercoaster with Metal Machine as well. I get it sometimes. And then other times I’m like, “damn, I could do this.” But, of course, I can’t. Hahaha.
