Lean Forward Podcast

Jay struggles to place Florida on the map, and Jacob researches a underused southern greeting. Jay reminisces of his radio days at 99X, and starting out in A&R with Manchester Orchestra. Meanwhile, Jacob breaks into new territory with his recent discovery of Thundercat, and discovers a new appreciation for Kendricks’ recent sound.

Jacob opens up about his somber start for 2017, and how he's found solace in a guilty pleasure—one that Jay finds absolutely repugnant. Jay shares one of his favorite new artists straight out of the Bigfoot demographic of central Canadian territories, Colter Wall, a boy who sold his soul to the devil to sing like Johnny Cash. The boys celebrate 30 years of the Flaming Lips and walk through their evolution as a band, discuss their unified love for Massive Attack, as well as their optimistic belief that the band is fronted by Banksy.
