For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Matana Roberts on the show. This one was so much fun. Matana was at the airport waiting to fly out to Montreal, and something about the background airport noise adds to the vibrant mood. We dig into a lot of things like when we might see Matana at Burning Man, coming full circle with Albert Ayler, getting in trouble lip syncing Madonna, Joni Mitchell in blackface, the loveliness of Helado Negro, Klein doing things nobody else is, Éliane Radigue, recent killers from Mary Halvorson and James Brandon Lewis, + so much more.
