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!
