I heard that MJ Lenderman's shows are filled with tons of middle-aged guys.I'm a middle-aged guy, and I want to follow MJ around the country. I'm a Lenderhead.
@@themarinelayermusic6469 Nah, this song has a lot in common with Better Than Ezra's "Good," Our Lady Peace's "Clumsy," and others of that 1995-1997 time period.
Coulda sworn I had a mix tape from 1994 that had this song on it with some Liz Phair, Pavement, Dinosaur Jr. Nope, this gem is from 2024. Thank you, my good sir.
Lenderman is probably the young artist that I’m most excited about. Great albums so far and that live record was phenomenal. Really looking forward to this new release.
Aw hell yeah, baby! Alpha white male boomers-this is our time to shine! We’re out here in 2024, and guess what? Rock ‘n’ Roll ain’t dead, not by a long shot! Let’s blow the dust off those leather jackets, tell the second wives to hit the road, ghost those ungrateful grandkids, and hit the open highway! We’re starting a band, and we’re gonna tour this damn country on the backs of our social security checks! Who’s with me? We’re gonna show these youngsters what real rock legends look like-one dive bar at a time!
I just realized Jason Molina is totally who I think of when I hear MJ sing. But writes songs totally different from Songs Ohia. Great to see this guy on the rise!
I love both but this didn’t click for me until I saw them live a few years ago and it blew my mind. Also the venue started playing songs ohia after his set so I knew someone else heard it too.
I came here to post this if someone hadn’t already. This is the first song I’ve heard by this guy. I thought Molina on the first note he sang. Really digging these tunes!
Jason sang in a higher register, midwest accent. mj reminds me of "Pizza Deliverance"-era DBTs in this one, Johnny Corndawg in others. Wednesday's country songs are my favorites. But really I like them all. Hi from Oklahoma. I'm wearing a Funk's hybrid seedcorn cap and oxblood doc martens, a "smol tiddie goth wife" tshirt, tighty whities and a fanny pack full of xanax and bottle rockets. Today is gonna be nuts.
MJ Lenderman is one of the best new songwriters of the last few years and like, I imagine, the rest of his listeners, I feel incredibly grateful and inspired to be watching his rise to stardom
He seems like a bit too quirky of a guy - in a good way - to become HUGE huge, but I think he could definitely wind up in the Sturgill Simpson/Jason Isbell tier
All the hallmarks..Except autotune, beat detective and millenial whoops. He'll have a decent underground career, but real music will never return to the mainstream in this broken world.
@@themarinelayermusic6469 music is cyclical, trends don't last forever, and before long EDM/electronica/rap will be the music parents are listening to, and kids will want something different, they always do
everyone involved in this deserves some serious love. mj wrote a crazy good song and is snapping. alex got this sounding so damn crispy. karly absolutely shines. her finishing the song leaves you wanting so much more. excited for the album. keep doing y'alls thing!
Crazy how every Indie artist I love gets comped to Dino Jr. I finally bit the bullet and watched a doc and realized the amazing-ness of that band. Love you MJ.
discovered this dude and this song more specifically during a really bad time in my life. my first ever girlfriend who i believed was the love of my life asked me for a break. we were always happy, but i was always suffocating. i do feel like shes leaving me, letting me go as slowly as possible. shes even from vegas, like the song mentions. just so painful but hey, its a fantastic song. thanks!
Totally. The main bassline riff sounds just like a GBV song so much that I'm having deja vu or something. Even the guitar solo at the end sounds like Toby Sprout. Vocals are obviously more like Pavement
Middle aged guys? I am 20yo dude from Central Europe. I don't know what it is, but Lenderman became my favourite artist; everything that is released is a total banger.
Another great one, Jake. So, so glad you're getting all the love you're getting now; you're my favorite artist of the past few years and it's not close.
Just heard this for the first time on The Spectrum and pulled over and snapped a screenshot with my phone so I wouldn’t forget who and what I was hearing. Something fresh and original. Love. ❤❤❤
Meet the new king of alt-country. MJ Lenderman's Manning Fireworks is a gritty, guitar-driven masterpiece that’s equal parts Neil Young and Warren Zevon. With his signature blend of humor and heart, Lenderman delivers a record that’s both deeply personal and universally relatable. From the opening track to the final note, this album is a rollercoaster ride of emotions
Wow this is actually really great, I cant believe there is good music in 2024. Last time I listened to something new and went "wow" must have been a decade ago
As a songwriter, I often fall into the trap of feeling like I have to write always more lyrics for a song to truly be complete. You reminded me that, no, a few heart punching lyrics can do. Great song! 👍
I work in a music venue doing box office when the bartender played this song on the bar Spotify. Id like to think I'm in this video, outside the stage doors selling tickets for this gig. Now we just gotta book MJ irl

Love it!!! I’m right there with you 😅
i was so surprised at how old the crowd was when i saw him in dc
hell yeah brother
is this why the older guy is jamming with his air guitar while everyone else is giving thumbs down? 😂
I heard that too
I love you Michael Jackson Lenderman
Michael Jordan* haven't you listened to Hangover Game

This sounds like driving home at 1am in 2002
💯
Its 1994 again! THANK GOD. Nice work everyone. Love it.
That's exactly the year I was thinking
You mean 1984.
@@themarinelayermusic6469 You mean 1974.
@@themarinelayermusic6469 Nah, this song has a lot in common with Better Than Ezra's "Good," Our Lady Peace's "Clumsy," and others of that 1995-1997 time period.
He’s from Asheville, so for Archers of Loaf’s sake we’ll say 1994.
ill-timed with my new divorce in terms of subject matter but I'm here for it
Well timed. Came out at just the right time.
Ouch. Sorry man.
Coulda sworn I had a mix tape from 1994 that had this song on it with some Liz Phair, Pavement, Dinosaur Jr. Nope, this gem is from 2024. Thank you, my good sir.
Pavement + Courtney Barnett + Gin Blossoms. What a cool blend of influences and genres. Love this.
Son Volt
Alt country!!!
Uncle Tupelo
Jason Molina
Definitely the golden age of alt country sound. Superb.
This song slaps. This album is going to slap. Rock n roll is here to slay
I think Rock n Roll is leaving you TBH
Lenderman is probably the young artist that I’m most excited about. Great albums so far and that live record was phenomenal. Really looking forward to this new release.
Still can't believe he didn't release the live album as a vinyl
I'm a senior citizen and this is so powerfully good. Thank you so much MJ Lenderman for your songs it makes me feel young again.

Yes! I am only 61, but I feel 21 when I hear this!
Ah, a new Pavement album. Finally.
lol
The Magnolia Electric Co
Haha absolutely 💯
Lol that was my first thought. Love the sound
funny- i heard this and thought- a new Sun Volt album. Finally.
haha
I used to hate music! Now I love it again!

Strong Sparklehorse and Dinosaur Jr. influence too

is it bc u listen to WFUV?

I can only assume the MJ stands for Michael Jordan the way he's GOATing
the way he wanted to sign with adidas
@@westerlied and it wasn't the pizza
he likes drinking too
I am an unborn embryo containing the all seeing eye of the universe and even I am feeling this guy's music!
Watch this guy become huge. He has all the hallmarks.

Says the piano is played by Alex Farrar. I wonder if they’re related to Jay.
had the exact same thought!
@@samgriebel5616 If they are that would be interesting, because he is a close friend and collaborator with Jeff Tweedy's son
@@samgriebel5616No Jay's sons name is Ethan
You can put your clothes back on she's leaving you is such a raw opening line and immediately hooked me into this dude's music. fantastic album:)
The Pete & Pete energy in this video is strong. Love it.
I have it on authority that Artie, Strongest Man in World thrashes his quads to this ish.
Pit Stain is their Roadie!
Takes me back to old Pavement. Slamming dope in Adam's west Queen Anne basement.
reminds me of Pine Grove and Pavement. This is good music.
Pinegrove singing and the music sounds like a GBV song, for me
I thought Pine Grove immediately.
Open up youtube to a new MJ tune? gonna be a good day
everyone involved in this deserves some serious love. mj wrote a crazy good song and is snapping. alex got this sounding so damn crispy. karly absolutely shines. her finishing the song leaves you wanting so much more. excited for the album. keep doing y'alls thing!
also to the video crew you guys are amazing.. clay + whitmer + sophia + wilson + trent
What a great song. Very retro 90s.
I hear this song on Sirius XMU all the time and I love it! And the music video is super fun, thanks MJ 👍
Crazy how every Indie artist I love gets comped to Dino Jr. I finally bit the bullet and watched a doc and realized the amazing-ness of that band. Love you MJ.
I can’t get this song out of my head. Reminds me of Lemonheads or something else from the 90’s. Such a great song.

guided by pavement. dig it.
silver pavement? pavement Jews?
I guess that explains why I took a deep dive into MJ and GbV's discographies basically at the same time.
Totally. The main bassline riff sounds just like a GBV song so much that I'm having deja vu or something. Even the guitar solo at the end sounds like Toby Sprout. Vocals are obviously more like Pavement
there's not much resemblance at all to either band.
@Crunchy-Peanuts not the vocals or lyrics, but the music sounds like a GBV song
I hope the Fairview community center is always poppin like this
IT FALLS APART WE ALL GOT WORK TO DO
As soon as I heard this song I was searching it. Props to SiriusXM for breaking/playing.
Middle aged guys? I am 20yo dude from Central Europe. I don't know what it is, but Lenderman became my favourite artist; everything that is released is a total banger.
Keep Rockin' in the Free World
That’s good hear. Right on…
Great song.. Son Volt vibes… with a little J Mascis thrown in - I’ll take all of that you got!!
You got it there!❤
Archers of loaf too a little? all great shit❤❤😂
Dude you have a great sound. 57 year old power pop fanatic.
68 but yeah!
I'm 64. The music today is as vibrant as anytime in the last 60 years.
Haven’t heard a banger like this in a long time, it’s not leaving my mind
Hearing a lot of Pavement and Ben Kweller influence. Even a little bit of Neil. Sounds great!
That's a fantastic description. His voice definitely reminds me of Kweller. And I definitely hear some Neil and Pavement in there
I hear more Songs Ohia (jason molina) with Pavement and Darrin Bradbury thrown in.
I love you Michael Jordan Lenderman
Yessir this is so so goo!!!!!
Great tune. Almost has an early Uncle Tupelo vibe. Looking forward to the album.
I heard this song on the radio yesterday. I dig it!
This sounds like Alt country from the 90s (the golden age). Excellent.
Def hear Uncle Tupelo in there
Definitely part of an alt-country resurgence
The King of Hopscotch himself! Any avid music fans from Raleigh will know exactly what I mean.
Air Lenderman does it again
This is a vibe. Love seeing NC artists in my feed
Another great one, Jake. So, so glad you're getting all the love you're getting now; you're my favorite artist of the past few years and it's not close.
I cannot emphasize how important this song has been for me. Huge.
Im impressed how relaxed he looks performing this song at double time so it lines up in slow motion
no he just moves in slow motion
Thanks MJ, this is the best news I’ve ever heard. Let’s hope she doesn’t f*cking come back.
this is the best song & music video combination i think i've ever seen. thank you mj
Thank you! 👏
I love this song. I can't really say anyone than that. No sense of muddling up the beauty and simplicity of it. Brilliant.
I could totally see Pavement singing this song. It sounds like their style. It took a few times hearing this on the radio but I dig this song.
Loving what I'm hearing. Reminds me of Ben Kweller's first album
Love this. Reminds me of early Ben Kweller.
Couldn't put my finger on it, that's definitely it
yep!
I’ve never heard of this guy but ty RUclips for recommending the song I’m gna have on repeat for the next 3 weeks
songs been stuck in my head all week
Great music and a hilarious video!
this song is so good I can't get enough
Just heard this for the first time on The Spectrum and pulled over and snapped a screenshot with my phone so I wouldn’t forget who and what I was hearing. Something fresh and original. Love. ❤❤❤

Best song since that Waxahatchee thing. MJ is the man. 😊❤
i dig it. great tune cat!!!
This song keeps the old grey mare alive and kicking, thank god.

I love this song so much already... not sure why. Maybe all the different relationships I had.
This song has been an earworm for a good month or so. Love it rock on
Thurston! Tweedy!❤ Buckley Dylan and Young need to hear this 🎉

Simply beautiful
that's a surprisingly good song omg
Clapton is the second coming. I love this song/video
Wow! Song of the summer. I’ll be your worker bee posting this
Love it. Thank you all involved. ❤️ nice Clay cameo.
In 20 years time, we will listen to this song an feel a great sense of nostaliga and say "remember those times".
Man, I fuckin' love this song.
i love how this song sounds like it would've been on the scrubs soundtrack :-)
This combines so many things and aesthetics and references I love… omg
Love the early 90s 2000s vibes.
The 'Dog Handler' is def the girl for me. Somedays the Dogs just don't go through the Hoop.
