On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Weston Olencki! Over the last few years, Weston’s become one of my favorite musicians around, and their latest album, “Broadsides,” only cements that further. We get into the record’s interesting backstory and some specific moments before diving into the romance in Radigue’s work, Rahman Mammadli’s shredding, The Carter Family, Linkin Park, Asmaa Hamzaoui, Aphex Twin, and more!
