In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy trace the so-called emo tree back up almost all the way to the top, exploring the definitive parent of the Midwest emo branch, Sunny Day Real Estate’s 1994 album Diary. It stands to reason that if you listen to this podcast, a lot of the bands you enjoy (and episodes we’ve done to date) were influenced by Diary, as SDRE genuinely helped move the genre forward. Find out more about why SDRE couldn’t sustain their success through some fault of their own, which of our hosts’ favourite bands today draw influence from Diary, and where the Foo Fighters come in on this week’s podcast.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by Sasha Kalra (@sashakalra) to discuss Lil Peep’s 2017 album Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 1. While Lil Peep is admittedly outside of the podcast’s normal genre wheelhouse, his influences are so similar to the podcast’s and to the artists that the podcast covers that he represents a unique look into the out-of-genre effects of industry and cultural changes. Find out more about how Lil Peep earned a major following by sampling pop-punk and emo songs on Soundcloud, what the status of this subgenre is following Peep’s untimely passing, and what Jake thinks of his first taste of emo-rap on this week’s podcast.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy break down Modest Mouse’s 2004 breakthrough Good News for People Who Like Bad News. Unlike some of the other bands to perform at The Bait Shop, Modest Mouse were already quite well-established, but The OC rub and an enormous hit in Float On helped push them into the mainstream consciousness. That didn’t mean Good News was any less weird and fun, though. Find out more about why a band like Modest Mouse would agree to a bit part on a teen pop-culture series, why our hosts lament their earlier Bukowski appreciation, and why you should revisit the band if Float On is your primary reference point on this week’s podcast.
