Ep. 35 Songs About Jane

Kiara Gets Drunk and Talks About Music

“Look for the girl with the broken smile, ask her if she wants to stay a while.” In Episode 35, come and rest your bones with us as Kiara welcomes back Tiff via Zoom to trade takes on the 2002 debut from Maroon 5, Songs About Jane, with beer sponsored by the good folks at Town Brewery. Before getting into the details of this record, Kiara and Tiff reminisce about what was – in their opinion – the golden age of pop-rock music and their personal relationships with the band, as well as pay tribute to underground rap legend MF DOOM and Hollywood darling Kelly Preston. We make the case for the massive hits off this album that accompany some steamy, pool-make-out-session-filled music videos, and that also combine Levine’s catchy hooks with surprisingly deep yet vengeful lyricism; leading to speculation on his Zodiac sign. And with a few Laugh Basket Lagers in hand, we review Levine’s tattoo chronology, our thoughts on Tarantino’s latest film, Kiara’s lack of Star Wars knowledge, and what exactly constitutes a Swedish goodbye. Will this album get the Seth Cohen seal of approval? Listen to find out!
