Description
Church Jams Now is a podcast focused on taking a retrospective look at the eclectic and often overlooked multi-dimensional sub-genre of 90s & 2000s Christian Music. We do this with an original recipe that you’re going to love: Equal parts critical musical analysis and emotional resonance, a dash of ‘armchair philosopher’ (cultural?) commentary, a little love, and a heaping spoonful of good old goofy shenanigans.

“If You Like This, Then…”On this very special *bonus* episode, TJ and Kylan share a sneak peek of the Patreon experience! Patrons at the $5 level get ongoing access to these exclusive episodes and themed playlists, which are thoughtfully curated based on the albums that are covered in the main feed every week. Every installment of “If You Like This, Then…” includes links to both playlists (below), and the episode features a track by track breakdown, in which the dudes share their playlists with each other (it’s like music-nerd Christmas!), and explain how they made each song choice. Is it a vibe? A lyric? A unique production sensibility, or a car commercial? The connective potential in music is diverse, often bizarre, and always fascinating! So, if this piques your interest, and you NEED more CJN in your life, check us out on Patreon (link below).This week on “IYLTT”: Sixpence None The Richer!As we draw back the curtain with this more laid-back conversation, you’ll learn which pop diva Kylan loves waaay too much, and for a fun drinking game: take a sip of your kombucha every time TJ says “theatrical”. And let us know what you think of our playlists, and/or if you can make a better one!

In Part 1 of this (less ‘traditional’) volume, Kylan & TJ are joined once again by their good buddy and resident ‘church-pew-expert’, Josh Olson, to unwrap the oh-so-fresh 2021 record from Five Iron Frenzy: Until This Shakes Apart!Since they just covered FIF’s Our Newest Album Ever in volume 3, the dudes thought it was only fitting to jump back in the ska saddle again. But this time, it’s personal...I mean...political.In Part 1, newly crowned ‘producer extraordinaire’ (Josh) orders 100,000 business cards, we learn about Kylan’s song title envy (Auld Lanxiety!?), TJ outs himself as a ‘skank-tastic’ reggae-ska fan, and they all try to find the words to properly unpack the overwhelmingly angry political beatdown (😉) that Reese and the band have created to sonically dropkick our ears, hearts, and minds. Get a taste of this ska-licious volume, Jammers!If you like what you hear, please rate, review, subscribe, and follow! And tell your friends!

The CJN fellas check out the 1997 self titled album, from Sixpence None The Richer!(*Quick disclaimer / apology for our wonky audio at the beginning of the episode. Apparently a sauna isn’t the most ideal recording space.*)Have you ever wondered what bearded barley is? Are you familiar with the (wonderfully obscure) melodica? Perhaps you’ve longed to hear someone describe what cashew plants look like? Yep, on this volume, we went down the rabbit hole, and then just kept on going. But ‘unofficial soundtrack of late 90’s tv’ band, Sixpence None The Richer, was just begging for an episode! Plus, our newest segment, “If This Album Were A Person” is sure to please! So get to listenin’, and then let us know if Kylan or TJ picked the right ‘person’, or if you’ve got a MUCH better answer, and let us know how right or wrong we are about the album! Jam on!#cashewpoops : https://balconygardenweb-lhnfx0beomqvnhspx.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/cashew-nut-growing_mini.jpgIf you like what you hear, please rate, review, subscribe, and follow!
