Waaaaaay late to it but I’m on the MJ Lenderman train

Reposted from Chris? In this economy?

Not to make this an AMA, but what's an album you've been enjoying lately?

ehrenskoog.bsky.social•111 days ago

Lyrics are playful in a way that reminds me of Stephen M.

vikesrant.bsky.social•111 days ago

Are u the real Mina Kimes and if so can you say hi

poppop62.bsky.social•111 days ago

Love the new album😎

yimtokom.bsky.social•111 days ago

Album of the year hands down, IMO

randallslifer.bsky.social•111 days ago

He reminds me of the DMB and Jack Johnson days

powderfinger.bsky.social•111 days ago

This is great https://youtu.be/oPyBrbEJ_j4?si=0BrgQiCksLKyA0OA

klump.bsky.social•111 days ago

seanyoo.bsky.social•111 days ago

for some reason i thought i talked about him with you and then i realized me and CR had a 30m convo about him at your bday thing lol

minakimes.bsky.social•111 days ago

CR heads prob early on it

seanyoo.bsky.social•111 days ago

i remain a loyal lenderhead after buying his first album on bandcamp #ImIndie

mrstayfrosty.bsky.social•111 days ago

Mina, can you tell the NFL script writers to budget in one good season for the Jets within the next decade? Please, just one.

scottboyken.bsky.social•111 days ago

“You can put your clothes back on. She’s leaving you.” What an incredible opening line.

jacktrow42.bsky.social•111 days ago

Waxahatchee and him on “Right Back To It” is phenomenal

deadcaptain.bsky.social•111 days ago

You listen to the waxahatchee record tigers blood? So damn great like the MJ record

saveitnerds.bsky.social•111 days ago

And MJ's on guitar on pretty much the entirety of TIGERS BLOOD too. One of the best records of 2024.

deadcaptain.bsky.social•111 days ago

Absolutely

cokes.bsky.social•111 days ago

I have been putting off listening because of the hype from some friends but maybe I should just do it.

bradleyjp.bsky.social•111 days ago

Do it. Don’t miss out.

cokes.bsky.social•111 days ago

I'm sure I will. It's that weird combo of if like

"Can this live up to the hype" avoidance and "what if my friends actually have terrible taste" avoidance

Both are irrational, and to some extent, irrelevant, but the brain does what it does

bradleyjp.bsky.social•111 days ago

lol I totally get it.

I had been aware of Wednesday, his other band, before going to Pitchfork Music Festival a year he played and stumbling upon his set. It was so much fun. I’ve been on this ride ever since.

bleowndr.bsky.social•111 days ago

Every time I hear MJ Lenderman, his vocals remind me of Jay Farrar in Son Volt. Not a bad thing.

jerryjonesalt.bsky.social•111 days ago

We dem boyz on repeat

mikeymagnificent.bsky.social•111 days ago

I like him, but he also reminds me too much of Ben Kweller, or the MJ Lenderman of 20 years ago.

mikegaz.bsky.social•111 days ago

The MJ Lenderman- Waxahatchee song is probably my favorite song this year. I'm a casual fan of both. But that song stopped me in my tracks.

https://youtu.be/YL3iHhERWJw

ryanmke01.bsky.social•111 days ago

Let's gooooooooooo!!

pogues89.bsky.social•110 days ago

Totally agree! If you haven’t, check out his work with Katie Crutchfield in her band, Waxahatchee.

kath.gobirds.online•111 days ago

how do you feel about his older stuff I'm a big proprietor of his self titled

minakimes.bsky.social•111 days ago

Still working backwards over here!

kath.gobirds.online•111 days ago

would love to hear your take when you get there!!

bradleyjp.bsky.social•111 days ago

Put on the live album and enjoy the experience.

rexparker.bsky.social•111 days ago

💯

thatryanparrott.bsky.social•111 days ago

Besides the Leftovers, what other shows do you find yourself recommending to people?

ejsster.bsky.social•110 days ago

Slow Horses on Apple. 6 episodes per season, each action and intrigue packed, with stunning plot twists. Season 5 out next year, I'm going to start season 3 next. 1 and 2 were fantastic

jbram.bsky.social•111 days ago

Band Of Brothers, Chernobyl, Mindhunter, Bosch, The Night Manager, The Bear, Andor, True Detective (S1)

gaknar.bsky.social•111 days ago

What We Do In The Shadows

dmckee1914.bsky.social•111 days ago

Curb, Succession, Narcos, Veep, Shrinking. Did I mention Curb?

baumsaway.bsky.social•111 days ago

Patriot (on Prime), Arcane, Cobra Kai, Andor

ravenmaniac.bsky.social•111 days ago

Of current shows, really enjoying Shrinking. From, which is like Lost with ghouls. The Penguin was great.

obiguackamole.bsky.social•111 days ago

Deadwood, Hannibal, Mad Men, Black Sails, Succession, The Wire, Justified, The Sopranos, The Shield, and The Americans.

jarednich.bsky.social•111 days ago

Mr Robot, Station Eleven, The Good Place, Silicon Valley, Severance, Shrinking.

davidwalden05.bsky.social•111 days ago

What we do in the shadows

hwy61rv.bsky.social•111 days ago

The two I end up recommending to anyone who asks are Terriers and Lodge 49.

Do NOT miss these.

therealjordanfrum.bsky.social•111 days ago

It’s always sunny in Philadelphia…. It really gets good when you’ve seen all episodes 40 times.

deanm.bsky.social•111 days ago

Andor, the Good Place

mavsfa.bsky.social•111 days ago

Shrinking, Banshee, Spartacus, The Bear, 1883, Ted Lasso, Dark, Severance

timotheesalame.bsky.social•111 days ago

Mina remains undefeated

jayeazy210.bsky.social•109 days ago

I listened for the first time today and I’m liking it! Reminds me a lot of Ryan Bingham.

realfrankbrank.bsky.social•111 days ago

so was I but don't be late to Medium Build

saintbaddad.bsky.social•111 days ago

Manning Fireworks is a little more melodic than his previous stuff. In a recent interview, he said it's because he just started listening to old Tom Petty records.

vegasmisfit.bsky.social•111 days ago

We need to get some bands on bsky!!

classicdoyle.bsky.social•111 days ago

She's got a Wristwatch that's a compass and a megaphone, folks!

sactownlambo.bsky.social•111 days ago

His songs are absolute ear worms: they live in my head in a good way! Can’t wait for his Santa Cruz show next year.

flavadavemd.bsky.social•111 days ago

Same, Manning Fireworks has been on repeat all week.

princesswikki.bsky.social•111 days ago

Girl In Red. Obsessed.

mjmasarof.bsky.social•111 days ago

check out his gf's Karly's band Wednesday!

randballsstu.bsky.social•111 days ago

This is the way

greencorrie.bsky.social•111 days ago

I was hoping he'd play near me in the UK but sadly not close enough.

curtperkins.bsky.social•111 days ago

Party at the Himbodome tonight

willmoore.bsky.social•111 days ago

The Waxahatchee/Lenderman song from her album this spring is 100% song of the year

jtp262.bsky.social•111 days ago

Same about the waaaay late, but Billy Strings.

cptowers.bsky.social•111 days ago

brendonbouzard.bsky.social•111 days ago

If you haven’t listened to it yet, highly recommend you check out Rat Saw God by Wednesday — Lenderman is the lead guitarist and his ex-partner is the singer/songwriter.

jerseyalgbp.bsky.social•111 days ago

I've tried to get on that train, but it hasn't been easy. Very hit or miss for me.

cilantronate.bsky.social•111 days ago

Al, have you tried his live record from last year, "And The Wind (Live and Loose). There's a real Stony Pony vibe going on that record. I don't know what kind of music you like, I'm making Jersey assumptions. lol.

jerseyalgbp.bsky.social•110 days ago

I gave it a listen. Definitely goes harder. Starts out great for a few songs but then fades into somewhat boring or just silly songs.

cilantronate.bsky.social•110 days ago

I hear ya although I think I the silliness is more of a pop culture art dynamic that I guess I’d find easier to compare to a Warhol or Lichtenstein. Guy wrote a song about Dan Marino looking at a Tom Brady cereal box for crying out loud

jerseyalgbp.bsky.social•110 days ago

That's one of the songs he loses me on.

jerseyalgbp.bsky.social•111 days ago

Will give it a try

akschaaf.bsky.social•111 days ago

@dwalsh76.bsky.social that's right

dwalsh76.bsky.social•111 days ago

darrylabaker.bsky.social•111 days ago

Yes! In my top 5

samanthaaa.bsky.social•111 days ago

He's so good! Spotify put Hangover Game from his previous album on all my playlists for about 18 months lol

fritzkroncke.bsky.social•111 days ago

Some real Pavement/Malkmus vibes on a few songs on the new album. It’s great.

ryanmke01.bsky.social•111 days ago

Pavement, Silver Jews, Wilco, Songs: Ohia, there's a lot of vibes in his music that I love

fritzkroncke.bsky.social•111 days ago

Yeah! I can’t believe I forgot David Berman. He’s not on that level lyrically (no one is) but he has that same kind of world-weary irreverence.

thesoccergoose.bsky.social•111 days ago

Glad I wasn’t the only one who felt that way.

fritzkroncke.bsky.social•111 days ago

Bark at the Moon is particularly Malkmus-ian

dirtbagqueer.rocks•111 days ago

okay i'll finally say it: you know ball

gnasty24.bsky.social•111 days ago

Victoria I've missed your tweets. Happy to see you here

taylorturner.bsky.social•111 days ago

Pavement + Neil Young = MJ Lenderman 🤌

poormonger.bsky.social•111 days ago

Spoken like someone who has Wowee Zowee framed on their wall.

Welcome to the train btw.

MJ put on maybe the best live show I’ve seen this year.

The other contender is Rosie Tucker who I also think you would probably dig.

danielthesuperfan.bsky.social•111 days ago

The Cure has a new album thats amazing, and Im still listening to Doechii's Aligator Bites...

bradleyjp.bsky.social•111 days ago

YESSSS MINA.

jacobsimpson.bsky.social•111 days ago

I always love to hear reading recs from public figures I follow, even if it's not in their designated field. If you read something and like it, please share! I loved that podcast you went on a few(?) years ago where you talked about the books you liked and why.

djralflove.bsky.social•111 days ago

📌

danlyons.bsky.social•111 days ago

Welcome to the himbo dome

jacksully.bsky.social•111 days ago

Strictly speaking I think it’s a boat and you need one of Klay’s captain hats

wibucks34.bsky.social•111 days ago

Wristwatch is absolutely 🔥

thom20.bsky.social•111 days ago

Probably the best live show I've seen in awhile too

iamdjamison.bsky.social•111 days ago

Can confirm this is a banger. I put it on as soon as Mina posted.

vivsavage303.bsky.social•111 days ago

Didn’t even realize he was in Wednesday when I saw them last year. Great stuff!

gregkash.com•111 days ago

Mina, is it possible to look up the Buffalo Bills record when playing the best team in the league (at the time of the game), and how would I do that or is that just way too impossible to do?

griffeysdad.bsky.social•111 days ago

what else is on your list these days? Really enjoying the new album from The Smile, Idles and Jeremie Albino if you need some new tunes

sammelchior.bsky.social•111 days ago

I saw him a couple weeks ago in Milwaukee, it was a pretty fun show!
