Woah... double digits! This week I'm talking to music writer Joel Funk (Substream, The Alternative) about "My Bloody Valentine" from Good Charlotte's 2002 sophomore album The Young and the Hopeless. We talk about jealousy and whether this song is creepy or romantic. Plus, Edgar Allan Poe's Tell-Tale Heart, Netflix's You, and Conan Gray's "Heather."

Woah! We've made it through all of GC's albums and now we're back to their 2000 debut, Good Charlotte. This week I talk to Casey Crawford of the band Virginity (virginityisrad.com) about "Screamer." Casey tells me about switching from stand-up comedy to pursuing music with Virginity; we talk about not feeling heard and needing other people's approval as creatives. We also talk about how making music in a vacuum can allow you to be unabashedly honest.

Check out "Bad Call" from Virginity's 'Death To The Party' EP now! 'Death To The Party' is out June 5 on Wiretap Records.

On Episode 8, I'm talking about "Shadowboxer" from Good Charlotte's 2018 seventh studio album Generation Rx, with Emily Berke (of Waldman Management). Emily and I discuss what exactly is a "shadowboxer", how GC have turned their anger inwards, and how self-esteem and the way we talk to ourselves impacts how we experience the world. Emily also tells me about how this song reintroduced her to GC. Plus, the impact that Linkin Park had on this album.

For Episode 7 of the Generation GC podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Kait Kunzman of 18th & Addison about "The Outfield" from Good Charlotte's 2016 comeback album Youth Authority. We talk about not fitting in and why it feels so big to find someone that understands you. Kait also shares her long history with GC, and how they inspired her songwriting as well as how they helped 18th & Addison foster connections. 

PS: There is some background noise in this one due to how we had to record.

On Episode 5 of the Generation GC podcast, I'm talking about “1979” from Good Charlotte’s 2010 album Cardiology. My guest this week is Cassie Werner, a longtime fan of Good Charlotte who loves spreading the word about bands of all genres. We talk about how important it was to hear Benji and Joel tell such a positive story of their upbringing, and ponder whether Cardiology is different or going back to the band's roots.  Like what you hear?

On Episode 4 of the Generation GC podcast, we're talking about "Dance Floor Anthem (I Don't Wanna Be In Love)" from Good Charlotte's 2007 album Good Morning Revival.  My guest this week is Angela Mastrogiacomo, the owner of Muddy Paw PR (http://muddypawpr.com) and the founder of THRIVE (https://www.angelamastrogiacomo.com/thrive), a music business mentorship and coaching community. Unlike most of our guests, Angela did not come in to this recording as a GC fan, so we had a lot of fun talking about her thoughts on "Dance Floor Anthem" and the band in general. We talked about GC going "dance" and how tough it can be to write reviews of your favorite bands, and we also ponder whether going out dancing can solve your problems (or at least make you feel better).

On Episode 3 of Generation GC, I talk with Scott Waldman (artist manager at Waldman Management and host of Waldman's Words podcast on Idobi) about "The Chronicles of Life and Death", the title track from Good Charlotte's 2004 third album. We talk about "Goth Charlotte", how different timing on releases could've affected the band's trajectory, and Joel Madden wearing all white. We also talk about our exposure to political music like Green Day and Anti-Flag. Oh, and you'll find out which line made me go "AWWW SHITTT!" as a 13-year-old.

FYI: The audio gets a bit choppy towards the very end of the podcast.

Episode 2 of the Generation GC podcast is about "Girls & Boys" from Good Charlotte's 2002 sophomore album The Young and The Hopeless. My guest this week is Tyler Young, lead guitarist of the band Makeout (Rise Records). We talk about summer camp and school dances, a reunion with one of the stars of the video many years later, and the politician that named this as their favorite GC song. Tyler also talks about how seeing - and later meeting - Good Charlotte influenced him as well as what it was like working with John Feldmann for Makeout's 2017 album The Good Life. We also gush over the new 5 Seconds of Summer record.
