In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy change their MSN statuses in biting fashion, firing up lyrics from Taking Back Sunday’s 2002 genre classic Tell All Your Friends. It is, with some likelihood, the album one host has listened to more than any other in his life.

It’s the season premiere! Kind of. In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy celebrate the podcast’s birthday by resetting the connection tree and starting anew for Year Two. To do so, they fire up Green Day’s 1997 album Nimrod, maybe not the best Green Day album but possibly the most important.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by Densil McFarlane of The OBGMs (@theobgms) to discuss N.E.R.D.’s 2004 album Fly or Die. Obscured to some degree by the immense success of the group as producers (The Neptunes) and Pharrell Williams’ eventual solo work, N.E.R.D. is more than deserving of their own oxygen as a bridge between hip hop and rock. Find out more about the influence N.E.R.D. had on Denz, the irritating, if predictable, critical response to Fly or Die, and why the first two N.E.R.D. albums sound like they could have come out last year on this week’s podcast.

In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake highlight Meet Me @ The Altar, a pop-punk three-piece both hosts have discovered in 2020 and really enjoyed.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, Jake and Blake take you to a place off Ocean Avenue to sit and talk with you about Yellowcard’s 2003 album named for a street in Jacksonville, not Los Angeles. That mistake is one of two personal stories the hosts share on this one, the second of which is far more embarrassing. Find out more about Yellowcard’s path from the home of the Jaguars to L.A., how they incorporated violin so effectively into an otherwise standard pop-punk sound, and why the hosts think Yellowcard are the Paul George of early-2000s bands in this genre on this week’s podcast.Come join the Patreon family for bonus episodes, mailbags, show notes and even more goodness: https://www.patreon.com/columbiahouseparty Follow @ColumbiaHP on Twitter!

In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake get just about as Canadian as it gets, taking Serial Joe’s single Mistake for a spin. It certainly sounds a certain way in 2020. But can you blame labels, Much Music, and the band for trying to capitalize on multiple overlapping trends at once? It was worth a shot. And Skidrow is still good.Sick of hearing all the ads?

In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake offer up a rarity and actually concede that something is a one-hit wonder, and it’s not just because you didn’t listen to the album enough. The Age of Electric had a fairly big hit with Remote Control, and the band is otherwise best known for their subsequent (or parallel) projects. That doesn’t mean the song rules any less.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, Jake and Blake travel back to Blake’s most heartbroken shifts at the Cambridge Home Hardware and fire up Avril Lavigne’s 2003 debut Let Go. Armed with four massive singles one-through-four on the album, Let Go was a tour de force at the time and feels no less significant in retrospect.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy crown Sum 41’s 2001 album All Killer No Filler a Canadian musical landmark. That’s like a Canadian Heritage Minute, but it just plays every commercial break on Much Loud for eternity. Maybe a statue in Ajax, too.

In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake reach into Blake’s high school CD case to listen to Something Beautiful by Cauterize. The band formerly known as Take Off, Eh! seems an unlikely miss in the pop-punk explosion of the early 2000s, given how good the album So Far From Real is.

In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake spotlight a Toronto punk band they’re both very high on, The OBGMs. Built around the single “Not Again” off of their upcoming album “The Ends,” the hosts explore whether The OBGMs can back up their claims of being Nirvana, Steve Jobs, Steph Curry, and Drake of the local scene.

In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake use their two tongues to discuss the Two Tongues of Max Bemis and Chris Conley. After enjoying their work together on a Bob Dylan tribute, the respective lead singers of Say Anything and Saves the Day collaborated on a 2009 album together. The result, though, doesn’t quite live up to the expectations cast by each groups’ previous work, a common risk in supergroup formation.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy dive into Say Anything’s 2004 pop-punk classic …Is a Real Boy (and, technically, their 2006 build-on …Was a Real Boy). It’s an album that stands out from its own scene upon review, somewhat ironically given the album’s heavy criticism of the scene itself. Find out more about the cost and benefit of Max Bemis’ sprawling creativity and perfectionism over the band’s life, how the hosts – and Bemis himself – deal with some of the less flattering lyrical content 16 years later, and how Say Anything produced the unlikeliest of emo love songs on this week’s podcast.Come join the Patreon family for bonus episodes, mailbags, show notes and even more goodness: https://www.patreon.com/columbiahouseparty Follow @ColumbiaHP on Twitter!

In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake run it back to episode No. 3 to get a gauge on where Fall Out Boy is, musically, here in 2020 rather than 2005. Using the song The Last of the Real Ones as a window into how Fall Out Boy have developed, it’s clear the current incarnation is a successful formula – and not a far cry from their earlier sound – even if it’s not for the hosts.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by Katie Heindl (@wtevs, @weirdvessels) to discuss FEELINGS and the 2014 album Singles from Future Islands. It’s a bit more of a pop turn than usual for the hosts, but upon deeper listening, it fits right in with the CHP ethos. Find out more about how freestyle rapping played a role in Future Islands’ development, Katie’s emotional run-in with the lead singer, and whether Jake could dance on late-night TV on this week’s podcast.Come join the Patreon family for bonus episodes, mailbags, show notes and even more goodness: https://www.patreon.com/columbiahouseparty Follow @ColumbiaHP on Twitter!

What has Jake become? In the latest Columbia House Party single, he finally relents and allows Blake to discuss Fozzy’s Judas, a surprisingly catchy song that’s taken a hard pivot from being liked ironically to being liked earnestly. How, exactly, did Chris Jericho turn a half-joking side-project into something with seven albums and multiple Download Festival appearances? More importantly, is Jake becoming Judas…in his mind?

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy explore TV on the Radio’s Return to Cookie Mountain, what they feel is one of the best albums to come out of the early-2000s indie rock boom. So much so, in fact, that this episode invites the first discussion of a potential CHP Hall of Fame for one of TV on the Radio’s members. Find out more about the David Letterman performance that helped put them on the map, where they veer from otherwise similar Meet Me In The Bathroom-era acts, and just how a band comes to sound like…this…on this week’s podcast.Come join the Patreon family for bonus episodes, mailbags, show notes and even more goodness: https://www.patreon.com/columbiahouseparty Follow @ColumbiaHP on Twitter!

How stiff a kitten are we talking here? If that strikes you as a bizarre introduction, well, welcome to Blaqk Audio, the side project of Davey Havok and Jade Puget of AFI. On the tails of this week’s main AFI episode, Jake and Blake explore Havok’s cultural versatility, the more electronic side of (half) the group, and how a seemingly unrelated experiment influenced AFI over the years.

We hope you suffer. In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by professional wrestler Jimmy Havoc (@JimmyHavoc) to discuss AFI’s 2000 classic The Art of Drowning. Havoc – and yes, he took that wrestling name in tribute to Davey Havok – fills us in on how AFI and other bands have shaped his wrestling persona, his merchandise, and his life. Find out more about how The Art of Drowning compares with Sing the Sorrow, which AFI song felt custom-made as entrance music for Havoc, and what he roasts Blake for on this week’s podcast.Come join the Patreon family for bonus episodes, mailbags, show notes and even more goodness: https://www.patreon.com/columbiahouseparty Follow @ColumbiaHP on Twitter!

Run away from your America is right. In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake take a quick dive into the political Atlanta four-piece Algiers and the lead single Dispossession off of their 2020 album There Is No Year.

The hosts also explore some other Black artists they discovered during the recent amplification efforts of Bandcamp and the indie side of the industry.

Mmmwhat’dyousay? That lyric likely brings to mind one of two things: A pivotal scene in The OC or Tik Tok star Jason Derulo. The new Hulu series Normal People, based on the excellent Sally Rooney novel, uses Imogen Heap’s Hide and Seek to even better effect, and so the latest Columbia House Party single explores whether a song can be taken back and get a second act even if it seems inextricable from a monoculture moment.Come join the Patreon family for bonus episodes, mailbags, show notes and even more goodness: https://www.patreon.com/columbiahouseparty Follow @ColumbiaHP on Twitter!

Isn’t it ironic? In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy go deep on a Canadian classic, Alanis Morissette’s incredible 1995 album Jagged Little Pill.

Host fight! Jake and Blake agree on a lot of music, but there are occasional bands – The Wonder Years, The Used, The Twilight Sad, IDLES – on who they strongly disagree. Through the lens of the new IDLES song Mr. Motivator, the latest Columbia House Party single explores the mechanisms of music subjectivity and why certain groups miss the Venn Diagram overlap.Come join the Patreon family for bonus episodes, mailbags, show notes and even more goodness: https://www.patreon.com/columbiahouseparty Follow @ColumbiaHP on Twitter!

What if Dave Grohl were, himself, a (monkey) wrench in the plans of Sunny Day Real Estate? On the heels of our discussion about Diary, this week’s Columbia House Party “single” mini-episode explores the somewhat bizarre, he-said he-said history between SDRE and Foo Fighters, including Grohl’s replacement drumming on The Colour and The Shape and an alleged fifth SDRE album that one person believes Grohl had a hand in shelving. It’s…a lot.Come join the Patreon family for bonus episodes, mailbags, show notes and even more goodness: https://www.patreon.com/columbiahouseparty Follow @ColumbiaHP on Twitter!
