Something in the Wilderness: Recent Episodes
Something in the Wilderness
Calling all Andrew McMahon fans: This show intends to pay tribute to all of the music Andrew has helped create in a song-by-song format. With a 20+ year-long music career spread among 3 different musical projects, Andrew is not only a musician, he is also a cancer survivor, philanthropist, and family man. Beginning with Something Corporate, formed with some friends from high school, Andrew established himself as a pop punk icon in the early 2000s. The band set themselves apart from the rest of the scene incorporating a piano into the popular pop/punk sound. Following three records and countless tours, Andrew went on to form a new project called Jack’s Mannequin. This new direction allowed him to lean more into the piano pop/rock side of his music. While many of his original fans came along for the ride, he also gained an entirely new fanbase with his next three records and extensive world touring. This project helped boost his resume from a pop/punk frontman to a serious songwriter. His latest music venture is Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness. Largely intended and referred to as his “solo project”, the majority of writing and instrumentation is done by Andrew himself, in partnership with co-writers, producers, and other collaborators. He has released three albums under the Wilderness moniker and has written some of his most prolific work yet. His wife and daughter have toured along with him for years and he has not taken much of a break in recent years between touring heavily and writing and releasing new music. Using his public voice for philanthropy,, he has formed the Dear Jack Foundation, which raises funds to help ease life for those suffering through cancer treatment and offering survivors a positive outlook for the future. Inspired by his experiences in his three bands, his contributions to soundtracks, and his collaborations over the years with other musicians, Andrew has established himself as an artist for his generation. Come along for the ride as each song in his catalog is explored, discussed, and evaluated. Please subscribe if you are a fan of Andrew McMahon’s work or even a fan of music discussion in general.

Kyle of Patterns in Traffic and Harsh Lights is back to discuss a UDF-era track that felt like a big one at the time, but in a sense, seems quickly to have been lost in the shuffle. Join us as we discuss the merits of this track and decide if this should be a regular staple, or if it's already had it's time in the sun. **Kyle also brought his brand new and unreleased Patterns in Traffic track to the pod so we could get a taste of what he's been working on.

My wife Marci returns to the show for her first song episode in a few years. This time, I picked the song, so I wasn't quite sure where she stood on this one. Not an oft-discussed track in the fanbase, but its serious tones gave us a lot to discuss. Life story or pure fiction? How do you relate to the lyrics in this one?

Kristie has been a long-time fan, even introducing her daughter Kayleigh to the fandom in recent years. She was lucky to see the song we’re talking about today live at Red Rocks recently. Plus, Kayleigh tells us about her experience singing on stage with Andrew on the New Friends tour and of course, we had to discuss the new Strings Attached EP! Besides all that? We’re talking about a newer fan favorite song. Do you agree?

We have now been doing this podcast for 5 years, and we thought... what better way to celebrate than to bring Andrew McMahon back to the podcast to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Everything in Transit?! Steve Jones from Concert Pipeline and I partnered on this interview with Andrew while he was out on our with Jack's Mannequin! This episode was recorded back in June while on the first leg of the tour prior to Red Rocks. This interview is available on both the Concert Pipeline podcast feed as well as this one. We asked Andrew about how he got into the headspace to return to the Jack's era, his thoughts on Red Rocks (before it happened), his fan community, what's next for him in the near future, and much more! You may be surprised at some of his answers... We are so grateful for this opportunity.

Andrew Ware returns to the podcast to complete the trifecta: We’ve discussed a Wilderness and a Jack’s Mannequin song together, so it was inevitable that we would do a Something Corporate track eventually. Join us as we get DEEP on the lyrics, even with some light critique, touching on change with the times in culture, values, and why this song might be different if it was written and released today.

We take a brief detour from Jack's Summer to talk about a sometimes-overlooked gem of a song that has fallen out of the live show in recent years for the most part. I haven't ever spoken to another fan who considers this one of their favorites. Is it one of your favorites?

Happy Father's Day! My wife and daughters and I went out to the Pittsburgh date of the Jack's Mannequin MFEO tour and had a blast! It was all I wanted! We met up with friends, made some new ones, and were so impressed with the visuals and the setlist. We talk about it all on this episode! I also give you a teaser about a cool episode coming up in August for the 100th song episode celebration. The MFEO Tour Pt. 2 Recap will happen in November after I go to more Jack's Mannequin shows.

We share our excitement about the recently announced Jack’s Mannequin tour. Finally, we dig deep into the song that both Hazel and Lindsay picked (separately) so we brought them together!

Should this track have been included on the album, or does it work better in it’s life as a Deluxe Edition bonus track? Is this a song we want to hear live this year? What is Lindsay’s favorite Andrew song and album? Find it all out here!

Author Hazel Jacks returns to the podcast to kick off our celebration of 20 Years in Transit. We’re trying to manifest an official tour announcement! Hopefully, soon? Here on the podcast, we’re going to talk about several Jack’s Mannequin songs in the coming months. Hazel chose to start us off with an emotional one. Join us as we make our own meanings of the heavy lyrics, talk about Andrew’s 2005 blog, and touch on other songs of the era as well! We also touch on how this song and others inspire her as she writes and how she incorporates music into her stories.

Steve Jones from the Concert Pipeline podcast recently flew out to Seattle for the SoCo show and had a chance to sit down with Andrew and Josh for an interview. We talk about his experience, we discuss one of Andrew’s first ever recorded songs, and we touch on a lot of pop culture references on this one. Steve even asked Andrew to tell us a bit about this song, so we have some audio from the interview to hear from the songwriter himself! Let’s take a trip back to the 1980s! Who knew this would be something after all?

Let’s recap our experience on Day 2 of the Four Chord Music Festival 10 to see Something Corporate! Hanging with friends (and making new ones!), being part of this great live music community, and surviving the weather are all themes of this episode! We were so excited to talk about all the bands leading up to SoCo and their set in particular, that I realized we FORGOT to talk about the All-American Rejects set, which I DID enjoy! As long as you’re not coming to listen for the AAR set recap, then I think you’ll enjoy hearing about the rest of our exciting experience at the festival!

We’re doing something a little different for our 80th episode! Here’s a song that wasn’t written or co-written by Andrew, or even by Josh. But Something Corporate covered this song over 20 years ago and it must have been a significant song for the guys. We explore what makes it so special and learn a bit about the original artist. Are there any Bjork fans here?

We have a new guest joining the show to talk about a more modern song that has had a lot of time in setlists on previous tours, but we don’t hear talked about too much among the fanbase lately.

This episode focuses on a recent hit from Andrew’s latest project, but also digs a bit into his autobiography, “Three Pianos”, released last Fall. Featuring a returning guest who just finished the book, take a trip with us as we discuss an especially important “chapter” in Andrew’s life.

The final single released before the end of an era, this song was a final sendoff in one way, but opened the door to new beginnings in another. The music industry can chew up artists and spit them out, but Andrew has managed to take the bad with the good and keep evolving as an artist.
Jamie helps break down one of SoCo's most notorious songs among the fanbase. Written by Josh Partington, this song is a rare exception in the Andrew McMahon catalog in that he did not write it, but the majority of his fanbase still clamor for it.

Though Andrew did not write this song, he contributed his vocal talents to both versions, and took it to a whole new level when he added that piano melody. We’ll talk about this and more as we dive into sort of a deep cut, but definitely a fan favorite song, written by Josh Partington.

We're doing something a little different for our 25th episode! Though Andrew has performed the song we are discussing today, it was originally someone else's song. Andrew admires this song and this artist enough to record a cover version, so we felt it was time to talk about music that he enjoys that’s not his own.
