Leslie Craig and Tim Beeman return for another “Leave Me Out of It” session, where they revisit a full album and decide which track they would cut if they had to. This time, they dive into Maroon 5’s Songs About Jane, the 2002 debut that launched the band’s career.
The conversation covers the album’s standout singles, its mix of funk, pop, and soul, and the stories behind Adam Levine’s lyrics. Leslie and Tim debate which song(s) feel least essential, share memories tied to the record, and talk about how the album’s sound shaped early‑2000s pop.
Along the way, they spotlight local music from XcentriX, swap concert stories, and wrap up with Leslie’s real‑estate minute on business planning for the year ahead.
It’s a relaxed, music‑filled episode that blends nostalgia, local flavor, and smart conversation about what makes an album timeless.
