For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Jeremiah Chiu on the show. He’s been on quite a run of incredible records the last couple years, and on February 2nd, it continues with “The Closest Thing to Silence,” a collaboration between himself, Marta Sofia Honer, and the great Ariel Kalma. After talking about […]
I feel like I get bleak as hell in these intros a lot of the time, so I’m going to try and stop doing that. I know things are brutal (and something genuinely new and horrible seems to happen every day), but y’all can get that anywhere. So, I’m trying. First, this week’s Songs of Our […]
For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Sarah Hennies on the show. We talk a bit about a couple of the many projects Sarah’s working on right now – performances of Michael Ranta pieces and her duo with Tristan Kasten-Krause. I’m not sure there are many people with more happening! Once we […]
I used to be pretty okay with winter – hell, I might even say I was into it, but after about five days of sub-freezing temperatures (today it’s supposed to get up to 40 for the first time since last Thursday – woohoo!), I am rethinking all of that. Anyway, The Jewel Garden has dropped its first […]
For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Ilyas Ahmed on the show. After reminiscing a bit about the 2007 Digitalis music fest, Bottled Smoke, we talked about both incredible albums Ilyas released in 2023 – his solo joint, “A Dream of Another,” and Grails’ “Anches En Maat.” We had a blast getting […]
Welcome to the first Capsule Garden of 2024. Where does it all go from here? Well, a bit more of the same, I think. These weekly-ish columns have become one of my favorite things to write and compile for Foxy Digitalis in the last couple of years, and I don’t expect that to change. With […]
Well, we made it. Sort of. I mean, it’s not like this arbitrary changing of the year is going to change, well, anything, but it still feels like we’ve crawled over some kind of finish line. As I say just about every year, what an incredible year of music. This list will be incomplete every […]
Inside No. 9, Episode #25: The Best of 2023 So here it is, my best of 2023. I’m sure there will be loads I’ll miss during December, but I plan on being drunk and warm during advent, indulging in Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole and Guinness. Without any unnecessary preamble, here are my 24 doors […]
Welcome to the final Capsule Garden of 2023! It’s hard to believe I’ve written 42 of these this year, but even though it’s a tremendous amount of work, it’s one of my favorite parts of Foxy Digitalis these days. It will certainly return in 2024. Next week will see our year-end coverage get published. Peter […]
