We’re that band, Radiohead. In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by music and culture writer Josh Terry (@JoshhTerry) to break down Radiohead’s 2007 album In Rainbows. With a handful of interesting Radiohead options, the guys go the In Rainbows route out of deep appreciation, but maybe not because it’s their No. 1 Radiohead album. You, too, surely have a Radiohead album ranking take. Find out more about that choice, how Radiohead stayed ahead of the curve in a dynamic record industry environment in the mid-2000s, and why Scott Tenorman must die on this week’s podcast.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy circle back to another influential album, The Cure’s 1989 masterpiece, Disintegration. Part two, as Robert Smith tells it, of a three-part trilogy that spans 18 years and eight of their 13 records, Disintegration is The Cure at their best, with Smith’s songwriting and vocals at their peak and the ambition of the overall musical environment pushing the album to a new height for the group. Find out more about which of Smith’s anxieties pushed him toward this sound for the album, the carousel of band members over their 40-plus years together, and whether The Wedding Singer holds up on this week’s podcast.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by basketball and culture writer Alex Wong (@steven_lebron, stevenlebron.com) to break down Lil Wayne’s 2008 smash hit, Tha Carter III. At the very peak of his power as the self-proclaimed Best Rapper Alive, Lil Wayne goes way outside of the usual rap album construct to push himself and the listener creatively. There are some misses as a result, but Wayne’s claim to be atop the game in that moment holds up well. Find out more about the long wait between Tha Carter II and III, Lil Wayne’s impact on a number of hip-hop subgenres, and how Lil Wayne provided a pathway for artists controlling their music in the online era on this week’s podcast.

Breathing deeply, walking backwards. In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy dive back into one of the seminal works of not only the pop-punk explosion but of all of early-2000s pop culture, Blink-182’s Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. It was time for a blink episode, as a key moment in the podcast’s origin story involved our hosts quite lubricated on the first tour with Matt Skiba. Find out more about how the making of Take Off Your Pants and Jacket was the first fissure for Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus, whether it holds up better than Enema of the State or Dude Ranch, and what the best two-song pair on any blink album is on this week’s podcast.

A can of matches, a can of kerosene, a bad idea. In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy revisit what they agree to be the best Alkaline Trio album, 2003’s Good Mourning.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy dive into an album that is inextricable from every episode that’s come before or will come after, the 1989 classic Doolittle from Pixies.

Find out more about which modern bands the guys hear Pixies in most, how the relationship between Black Francis and Kim Deal began fracturing, and what the hell Un Chien Andalou is on this week’s podcast.
