Episode 6 - Deep Cuts Volume One!

“What?  I thought we got rid of them for good,” Some Guy.

That’s right folks Bridges And Squares is back again with Deep Cuts, Volume One.  We’ve compiled a few tracks that we recorded that didn’t make it on the air for previous shows and decided to pack ‘em all together!  Plus, we have a couple songs from my band, The Exchange Rate, and a song from our upcoming episode with, Night Fruit

The show also features our previous guests, Abram Taber, The Freeways, and A Bit Much. You have to see these bands live!  The Freeways are releasing their new album on July 7th at the Middle East.  The show features a great lineup (Streight Angular, Sinbusters, Red Quiet, Radio Control) so try to check it out!  A Bit Much is active all over New England in June and July.  Abram Has a show on Saturday (June 26th) at Friendly Square before venturing to parts unknown on a US Tour.

We should be posting shows more regularly beginning with Night Fruit, so please keep listening.  Email us at bridgesandsquares@gmail.com if you want to come on the show as a guest or guest host!  Thanks!

Riding On Down The Freeways

And they thought podcast two would never get done.  The Freeways are on!  They presented us with a paired down version of the band with Karen on guitar and Frank playing the Fender Rhodes.  Their music shimmers and the scaled back version of the band really shows off Karen’s voice.  You will not be disappointed by their performance.  They have a new album coming out soon, so keep an eye out.  We’ll let ya know too.  Meanwhile, Meg, Colin and I talk about the pros and cons of live shows.  Live shows are great, but there are annoying parts of them.  There was originally more positive things that we meant to bring up but Colin’s mic decided to bug out so we had to edit a lot of the shit out.  Oh well.  Enjoy the show!

P.S.  Thanks to Frank from The Freeways for helping me mix their recording.

I think I fixed the podcast feed.

Previously the entire tumblr (downloads and regular text posts) was getting posted to your podcast feed.  That is annoying.  Thanks to Yahoo Pipes, I filtered the feed so your Itunes (or whatever other podcatcher) only gets entries with an actual episode to download.  Episode two is coming real soon with The Freeways!  Stay tuned!
