MJ Lenderman: Wristwatch | The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

[@ratsontherails]

I'm 94 and this reminds me of seeing Bob Dylan in 1924 when we used to snort Dexedrine off paperback copies of On The Road. I hope this young lady goes far.

[@nitedreamer23]

1924 was peak Bobby Zimmerman. Everyone knows.

this is the best thing to happen to me since i docked my houseboat at the himbo dome

[@wax7550]

Who comes up with a lyric like that🤦🤦insane perspective right there

[@mitchelljones9696]

I can’t stop laughing at himbo dome. But genuinely the best new song I’ve heard in a really long time and good to have a new band to get obsessed with

Wilco, J Mascis, Jacob Dylan and Red House Painters made a baby! Doing vintage well. Really nice!

[@pablogp3266]

Neil Young with the Stray Gators mixed with 1998 Wilco.

[@connormcfall]

I'm hearing Jason Molina and Mark Linkous in this song specifically but RHP aint a bad comparison either!

[@Itsallrelative44]

Do you mean pavement and dinosaur Junior?

[@patrick4662]

yes yes I def thought of some of those same bands.

[@curtislovrak5390]

I get somewhere between Silver Jews and Alex G.

[@lifeofjoe3282]

The return of slacker-indie-rock-country. Wilco and Pavement heavy on this one. Slow, slouchy, sublime and a little snarly.

[@eljefe8149]

Slacker, that is precisely my thoughts. Love those vibes

[@lasereagle7003]

People keep saying Wilco, but I'm going to go with a less nasial Son Volt, the other project to come out of Uncle Tupelo
