unreleases are pieces

Hey! I just uploaded another podcast. I'm 5 for 5 as far as keeping this a monthly podcast, which is my goal for this project for 2007. I dug through the dusty archives again and put together another 12 previously unreleased (or rarely heard) songs. As it has been with the 2 previous Unreleases podcasts this one spans the full spectrum of time I've been recording music.

There's a little song called "See Saw" included from 1995 that was, from my memory, the first time I ever put an electronic beat behind anything I'd recorded. I got my Casio Sk-1 sometime in the later '80s as a Christmas present and finally got around to using it for real in '95. It wasn't the last time I plugged it in. It's scattered throughout my recordings and now hangs on my wall here in my apartment. It's a piece of electronic plastic I don't mind looking at every day.

The other really old song is the original version of "V.F.W." Wolfie went on to re-record the song a few times and it ended up appearing on our first 7". This version is how that song sounded in the first place: a boy and his guitar, strumming away out in the suburbs, second story of a raised ranch.
