On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Carlos Giffoni! To me, Carlos is a legend, so it was great to have him on the show. His new album, “Pendulum,” is full of great collaborations (Zola Jesus, Ben Chasny, Greg Kelley, Mabe Fratti, Lea Bertucci, & Iggor Cavalera), and really shows the range of his compositional approaches. Plus, he just announced that No Fun will return in 2026 – hell yes! So, we talk about the new record before getting into all of it from Nirvana and Neil Young to Diamanda Galas, Hecker, Roxy Music, Judee Sill, Low, and more!
