Vol. 125 - Much Afraid by Jars of Clay Mar 05, 2025

Show notes

We’ve been Much Afraid to cover Jars of Clay’s sophomore record, but it’s time to face our fears. We got off to a rocky start with their self-titled, but we’re open to a Truce now that they’ve left their drum loops behind them. Whether this record leaves us feeling Overjoyed or Weighed Down, we won’t trade our love for Tea And Sympathy.

We're back with another episode of Disco Dads covering Taking Back Sunday's controversial 2009 record, New Again. Josh is an apologist, but Kylan has some qualms. Will Kylan feel New Again after listening to this, or will he feel Everything Must Go on this record?

Vol. 121 - Never Take Friendship Personal by Anberlin Jan 29, 2025

Show notes

So let me get this straight, all these years and we’re covering Never Take Friendship Personal by Anberlin for its 20th anniversary. This record holds a special place in fans’ hearts, and we’re here to see where it lands on the scale between A Heavy Hearted Work of Staggering Genius and a Symphony of Blasé. Of course, we have to get into the original vs. the re-recording of Feel Good Drag. These thoughts run through our heads over and over, but we never take podcasts personal.

2024 Wrap-Up Dec 25, 2024

Show notes

2024 was an amazing year at CJN, and we're taking some time to reflect on our annual wrap-up. We discuss our top moments from the year, favorite and least favorite records, and issue a formal apology to one of the members of DC Talk. We continue our yearly tradition of bop/flop revisions, and Drawing Black Lines is desperately looking for redemption. Thanks for an amazing year, and we're looking forward to what 2025 has in store!
