Columbia House Party – Details, episodes & analysis

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by "The Brain Genius" Josh Custodio (@j0shc) to discuss Panic! At the Disco's debut album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. Well, imagine, Jake pacing a podcast and he can't help but to hear an exchanging of words between Blake and Josh about wrestling. And also Brendon Urie. Find out more about Panic's contested roots as a blink-182 cover band, how the band eventually became a Urie solo project but not before releasing two underrated follow-up albums, and where Fever stands up in the pop-punk pantheon on this week's podcast.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by Drew Fairservice (@DrewGROF) to discuss Saves the Day’s 1999 bridge album for the pop-punk scene, Through Being Cool. Drew might cringe at that term pop-punk given his – and Chris Conley’s – hardcore roots, but tracing from Lifetime to Fall Out Boy through Saves the Day is tidy work. Find out more about Drew’s experience seeing Saves the Day in the hardcore scene, how the band’s slow transition to pop-punk made waves for the bands that followed them, and why Red Jeans 3:16 says “my spleen is dropping from my pants” on this week’s podcast.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by NBA writer James Herbert (@outsidethenba) to discuss Billy Talent’s 2003 self-titled debut. James made sense as the guest since he was also on for Billy Talent influence At The Drive-In and because he and Blake were at the same Billy Talent concert during frosh week at Queen’s. Find out more about Blake’s overdue realization that punk is political, Try Honesty’s continent-crossing success, and why Billy Talent’s first two albums hold up so well on this week’s podcast.

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. Find out more about Taking Back Sunday’s clunky and dramatic origins, the benefits and limitations of the band as one of the avatars of the emo movement, and whether mics are for singing or swinging on this week’s podcast.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy dive into Conor Oberst’s punk-rock side-project, Desaparecidos. Not unlike a wrestler’s excursion, Oberst took a brief aside from his ascension as a part of Bright Eyes and as the face (and bangs) of a genre to do something a little different before ultimately returning. Read Music/Speak Spanish is more political and far angrier than you may be used to with Oberst’s other projects, and while it wasn’t heralded at the time, it really works. Find out more about Oberst’s relationship with his hometown of Omaha, why he cared “way more” about Bright Eyes, and where this project ranks in the vast Oberst library on this week’s podcast.

Are you listening? In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy dive into Jimmy Eat World’s fourth album, the crossover success Bleed American. A follow up to Clarity, which is often debated as their best album, Bleed American shifted from an emo-oriented sound toward alt-rock, producing eminently recognizable singles thanks to accessibly simple lyrics and excellent power-pop guitar work. That Jimmy Eat World continued producing good albums – a lot of them – is almost lost in just how influential their earlier work was. Find out more about reception to The Middle, why Sweetness almost didn’t make the album, and how 9/11 comes up once again in this week’s podcast.
