M.J. Lenderman is a musician from Ashville, North Carolina. His new album Boat Songs, is out now. We chat about World Cup fever, hitting someone in the face with a guitar, Thom Yorke becoming a killing machine, eating sardines and saltines, local Whole Foods scene report, the reality of live show ticket costs, Chris attempts to cut some members of M.J.'s band, parameters need to be set as a jam band, M.J. likes Van Morrisson but only the new stuff, his love of basketball, stick-and-poke tight tats, his girlfriend threw away his coffee maker when he was on tour, we've all tangled with Xanax, his deadhead doctor dad bestowed the family minivan to him, and M.J.'s dream of playing on late night TV.
