MJ Lenderman Covers Warren Zevon's "The French Inhaler" on The Adam Friedland Show
"Performing solo on electric guitar, Lenderman's rendition opened the episode, as he sang the lyrics of heartbreak with eyes closed. "Loneliness and frustration/ We both came down with an acute case," he drawled, perhaps thinking of his breakup from Wednesday bandmate Karly Hartzman. "And when the lights came up at two/ I caught a glimpse of you." Following the performance, Friedland announced that Lenderman played a total of two songs in the studio,"
"The comedian joked about their purported rivalry and height differential, inspiring the trolling title of the video: "MJ Lenderman CALLS OUT Cameron Winter (not clickbait)." Lenderman remains one of the busiest working musicians today. After releasing his excellent solo album, Manning Fireworks, in 2024, he reunited with Wednesday for their 2025 album, , though he is currently taking a hiatus from touring with the group."
Indie rock musician MJ Lenderman opened The Adam Friedland Show with a solo electric-guitar cover of Warren Zevon's "The French Inhaler," singing with eyes closed. Friedland revealed Lenderman recorded two songs in the studio, with the full set scheduled for release on Friday, February 13th. Friedland announced a new TAFS Unplugged series with some shorter performances and five-minute interviews. Friedland teased a rivalry with Cameron Winter of Geese, resulting in a trolling video title. Lenderman released Manning Fireworks in 2024, reunited with Wednesday for a 2025 album, joined the Snocaps project, and outlined extensive 2026 touring plans.
