Singles: Rufio - Above Me
November 20, 2020 11:05 - 14 minutes - 20.3 MBIn the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake play let's remember some early-00s LimeWire bands and fire up Rufio, Rufio, Ru-Fi-Ohhh.

N.E.R.D - Fly or Die (2004)
October 26, 2020 10:05 - 1 hour - 98.2 MBIn 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.

Singles: Meet Me @ The Altar - Garden
October 16, 2020 10:05 - 15 minutes - 21.3 MBIn 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. Their newer single Garden is a good window into how they blend melody with a traditional pop-punk sound, earning comparisons to some legends in the scene and lending plenty of optimism that their next album will be a breakthrough one.

50. Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue (2003)
October 12, 2020 10:05 - 1 hour - 84.9 MBIn 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.

Singles: Serial Joe - Mistake
October 09, 2020 10:05 - 14 minutes - 19.6 MBIn 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.

Singles: The Age of Electric - Remote Control
October 02, 2020 10:05 - 14 minutes - 20.1 MBIn 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.

Avril Lavigne - Let Go (2002)
September 28, 2020 10:05 - 1 hour - 87.8 MBIn 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.

Which, yeah, you know there are some bad jokes about that song title within. But it’s still a good discussion about a band that was a staple of the Toronto scene and a little unknown outside of it.

Sum 41 - All Killer No Filler (2001)

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.

Singles: Cauterize - Something Beautiful
September 18, 2020 10:05 - 15 minutes - 21.2 MBIn 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.

September 11, 2020 10:05 - 15 minutes - 20.6 MBHow do you spell ooh ah ah ah ah? In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake get “Down With the Sickness” and take a quick look at Disturbed. They were more than just a two-hit nu-metal star that The Edge 102.1 overdid. Shockingly so, actually, with ludicrous album sales and five No. 1 records.

Lorde - Melodrama (2017)
August 31, 2020 10:05 - 1 hour - 106 MBIn the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by Erin from Resting on Pretty (@RestingOnPod) 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.

Singles: Jackson Browne - For A Dancer
August 28, 2020 10:05 - 15 minutes - 21.1 MBIn the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake fire up Jackson Browne’s For A Dancer. Not only is Browne seemingly underrated and undercredited as an influence on today’s crop of singer-songwriters, he’s also just excellent in his own right. It’s not hard to see why Phoebe Bridgers is such a fan or why she was so excited to collaborate with him. Oh, and For A Dancer should be used more in sad movie/TV scenes.
