Probably not, but he <em>did<\/em> make beats for his middle school basketball coach, Coach Scott, aka Rollin&#8217; Green. He also discussed his experience as a Catholic altar boy and why he chose to release music as MJ instead of Jake.<\/p>\n<p>The appearance began with another Zevon cover, &#8220;The French Inhaler.&#8221; You can check out the full episode below.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MJ Lenderman CALLS OUT Cameron Winter (not clickbait)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lbU3_IYhqYE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A second Lenderman performance for Friedland will be released Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source stereogum.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It feels like the promo campaign for Manning Fireworks never really ended, but the album dropped in the summer of 2024, which means we may be due for a new MJ Lenderman LP this year.
