I Hate Going Backwards with Jay Mumford

The drummer formerly known as the rapper J-Zone, Jay Mumford, tells me a story he's told many times: how he changed courses musically in his mid-30s. But this time he gets meta. I ask him if he likes talking about this! He reflects on nostalgia writ large and how it plays out in Instagram stories when people use old songs of his he hates. And we frame it all in terms of his switch being an ultimate coma moment.Content warning: chronic migraines, quitting, starting over, Questlove, the hell of social media, being known for what you want to be known for.Patreon supporters make This Is Your Afterlife possible and get awesome bonus episodes.
