On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Damon Locks! Over the last long while, Damon’s been one of my favorite artists on the planet. From the Black Monument Ensemble, his visual art, and all things in between, I have endless gratitude and awe for his work. We talked about his new, text-based record, “List of Demands,” before waxing on about Nikki Giovanni’s influence, The Hues Corporation bringing the sun, Duke and Coltrane going all-time, David Bowie, Parliament, Labi Siffre, The Specials, Bjork, and plenty more!
