<p>On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Ben Vida! I can’t overemphasize how much of a fan I am of Ben’s work generally, and especially his latest album, “Oblivion Seekers.” It follows-up the brilliant “The Beat My Head Hit,” and as ever, there is nobody working with language in the way Ben does, and in a way that I find utterly captivating. We talk all about it before getting into the likes of Caetano Veloso, Old &amp; New Dreams, Mayo Thompson, VU, Kraftwerk, Metallica, Van Morrison, US Maple and plenty more!</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE-GZqzFP5ec0rPRZHC0qBGPa1U9M0X6b"><strong>Listen to all of Ben’s picks HERE</strong></a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://benvida.bandcamp.com/album/oblivion-seekers"><strong>“Oblivion Seekers”</strong></a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/btvida/"><strong>Ben on IG</strong></a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://balmat.bandcamp.com/album/magic-object"><strong>Playtime “Magic Object”</strong></a></p><p><strong>Songs of Our Lives</strong> is a podcast series hosted by <strong>Brad Rose</strong> of <strong>Foxy Digitalis</strong> that explores the music that's made us and left a certain mark.
