Dis Fig - Songs of Our Lives #21

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Felicia Chen aka Dis Fig on the show. There are collaborations that just make sense, and one listen to Dis Fig & The Body’s “Orchards of a Futile Heaven” screams that these two projets are meant to collide. After talking about how that happened, we blast off talking about how early is too early for a memory of Naughty by Nature, the desolation Sufjan Stevens can bring, how Earth is also sexy… maybe, earnestness going too far, Senyawa’s magic, getting hyped with Nero, Portishead’s greatness, and loads more!

On this episode of the Foxy Digitalis Podcast, sonic magician Valerio Cosi stops by from his studio in Southern Italy.

I’m not sure there are many people with more happening! Once we get into the songs, the laughs start early and never stop as we talk about the Duke of Dukedom himself, Ivor Cutler’s excellent use of fart noises, how Acetone was hiding in plain sight, the genius and divisiveness of Bobby Conn, how Daniel Romano avoided the Sub Pop curse, finally unlocking Arthur Russell, Souled American being the absolute greatest, and so much more!
