POPULARITY
Episode Notes Before Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness and Jack's Mannequin, there was a little piano band called Something Corporate that took the music industry by storm. With a sound that transcended the typical pop punk mold, but themes that stayed close to the genre's roots, it was a band that appealed to the wider masses (and we consult our family and friends to prove it!). For this week's installment, Something Corporate's breakout album Leaving Through the Window.

The year 2002 saw the release of some really great movies, tv shows, and especially studio albums, including but not limited to No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls by Simple Plan and The Young and the Hopeless by Good Charlotte. This week, the guys come loaded with their 5 strongest arguments for why each album their representing was better than their partners. Which one do you think bops harder? Let us know on Twitter!

In a bizarre mashup of sorts, the guys decide to each talk about 2 completely different albums at the same time, inspired by a friend and listener of the show. Tom covers the album Meteora by Linkin Park, and in normal long-winded Tom fashion, it’s full of stories form his adolescence. The album helped him through some serious family trauma as a young teen, motivated him to wear nothing but DC clothing for years, and he even performed a song for three 7th grade girls in his bedroom after an early dismissal day. But he was in 6th grade so it was totally cool. Pat discovered his album Leaving Through the Window”by Something Corporate much later in life after having a few casual interaction in 8th grade along with Tom. One of the songs has strong ties between him and his wife, while others remind him of strolling campus alone as a bushy eyed college freshman.

In a role reversal, Heather is concerned that her own opinion of an album might not hold up when listening to Something Corporte’s “Leaving Through the Window” for the first time in years! How did Heather survive this year’s Riot Fest? How the heck did Ramsey make a Rage Against the Machine reference? Will Ramsey enjoy a band’s ironic use of a copyright symbol? All this and MORE!

This week, I sit down with Emmy-nominated songwriter Andrew McMahon to chat about his new project, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness. In high school, McMahon and friends formed Something Corporate, a piano-pop group that would go on to be at the forefront of the early 2000s pop-punk/emo scenes and release two albums for major label MCA Records: 2002's Leaving Through the Window and 2003's North. After SoCo dissolved, McMahon formed Jack's Mannequin, releasing the instant classic Everything In Transit in 2005 along with two other albums. These days, he's a solo artist, mixing his love for classic songwriters like Billy Joel, Tom Petty and Bruce Hornsby with electronic elements to create a sound that's retro and modern at the same time. His debut solo full-length, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, was released this past October through Vanguard Records. I caught up with Andrew at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC to chat about writing songs for TV, transitioning to this new phase in his career, how he plans to celebrate Everything In Transit's upcoming 10-year anniversary and much more. ----- Links: Andrew McMahon's Website | Twitter Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness on iTunes Voice & Verse Podcast on iTunes | Stitcher | Facebook
