Columbia House Party Soda

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by comedian John Cullen (@cullenthecomic, @blockedpartypod, @thePOD_Kast) to discuss Broken Social Scene’s sophomore album You Forgot It In People. But not before they get derailed talking about Disturbed, Korn, labret piercings, and John’s love of nu-metal. The guys eventually talk BSS, we promise. Find out more about the ways Broken Social Scene are tied to myriad Toronto artists and bands, how they transitioned from an ambient instrumental band to a prominent indie rock one, and where Scott Pilgrim fits in all of this on this week’s podcast.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by Erin to discuss Lorde’s 2017 sophomore album Melodrama. Melodrama being considered a pop album is accurate, but it paints Lorde in a way that sometimes seems to undersell her excellent as a songwriter. Find out more about her growth as a person and writer over the four year gap between albums, which Lorde song Jakes thinks is perfect, and why her eventual third album may be analyzed through a more appropriate lens on this week’s podcast.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by Sarah MacDonald (@sarahsmacdonald, sarahsmacdonald.com), to discuss Phoebe Bridgers’ 2020 sophomore album Punisher. This is the show’s first crack at covering a new album without the benefit of at least some nostalgia, so it’s good the hosts had Sarah to guide them. Find out more about Bridgers’ songwriting process, the influence of gender and power dynamics in the industry and how her work connects, and why Bridgers has quickly become considered one of the elite modern songwriters on this week’s podcast.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy make Conor Oberst the third member of the CHP two-time subject club, exploring Bright Eyes’ 2002 album Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground. Find out more about Saddle Creek’s epic early-2000s run as a label, why the hosts think Bright Eyes was so influential as a thread between folk eras despite often being classified as emo on this week’s podcast.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by Jeff Rosenstock (@jeffrosenstock) to discuss Rilo Kiley’s excellent 2004 album More Adventurous.

Find out more about which Rilo Kiley song Jeff had his first dance too, which Rilo Kiley song Jeff has covered, and why the guys think Rilo Kiley weren’t a bigger breakthrough success on this week’s podcast. And check out Jeff’s terrific album, NO DREAM, anywhere you get your music.

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.
