Columbia House Party

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.

In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake strain to keep their voices from going...there. You know where. That mid-2000s rock ballad sound that was unavoidable and, to be frank, not that enjoyable. But is Hinder’s Lips of an Angel one of the worst songs ever, or is it just held up as the avatar of a bad moment in rock history? Whisper your take, because you can’t be too loud.

Please open your sad teen textbooks to Page 1. In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are screaming infidelities and sharing all their best deceptions as they break down the 2001 album from Dashboard Confessional, The Places You Have Come to Fear the most. Find out more about Chris Carrabba’s transition from Further Seems Forever to Dashboard Confessional, what we know – and don’t know – about what went into his painful songwriting, and why one host thinks Dashboard holds up better than a lot of the early-2000s scene on this week’s podcast.

In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake aren’t quite the heroes you’re looking for, but they do their best to analyze the hit single from the SpiderMan soundtrack. It’s just a shame the supergroup that made the track – including members of Nickelback, Saliva, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Our Lady Peace, and Theory of a Deadman – never gave themselves a cool early-2000s of-the-moment alt-rock name.
