  • Excellent delivery and insight

    I appreciate Jenny’s soothing voice and experienced insight. Several years ago I filled out a survey from SXM about favorite hosts. I thought I had the name right but inadvertently given another female host’s name as having such a superb way about her. 🙄 Nonetheless ... I am glad to have this podcast available to hear more from her.

American Football - Mike Kinsella
Q: Tell me more about how it was more fun this time. What do you think contributed to that?
Mike explains that revisiting older sessions, opening up previously unfinished ideas, and adding new elements allowed for a freer, more playful creative process, reducing pressure and enabling experimentation.
Snail Mail - Lindsey Jordan
Q: What role did early fandom and artists play in shaping your craft?
She cites St. Vincent, Warpaint, Beach House, Lana Del Rey, Arcade Fire, and others as influential, and describes how Tumblr and other communities helped her discover and connect with music.
Snail Mail - Lindsey Jordan
Q: How did your approach to writing change for Ricochet?
She explains moving from lyric-first to instrument-first writing during touring, then returning to lyrics later to create two interconnected projects that could be Frankenstein-ed together.
Snail Mail - Lindsey Jordan
Q: What sparked your interest in guitar and performing at a young age?
She describes starting guitar lessons at six, sneaking into rock camps, and being pushed by adults and peers to prove herself, which fed both ambition and anxiety but ultimately fueled a lifelong drive.
Dry Cleaning
Q: What is the writing process like in Dry Cleaning, especially for Secret Love?
Writing in the rehearsal room, responding to the live music, has become more immediate and collaborative, with a preference for in-the-moment lyric creation and later polishing, which keeps the process energetic and responsive.
