    4.14: Season 4 Finale / Year-In-Review

    We've made to the end of another Season! Big thanks to all the BSrs that have stuck with us all this time. We love these Year-In-Review episodes, they are a great way for us to look back on all the songs we made over the season, and also make for good jumping on points for new listeners as they provide an overview of the songs we put together each year. We hope you enjoy it.

    Cheers! We'll see you again next season!

    4.11: Garage Sale

    "So there I was, sitting at my desk and looking out the window watching people walk by during the annual neighborhood garage sale; Black Flag was playing on my phone, and I thought to myself, Hmmm, why not just write a straight forward punk song about a garage sale. "   That's right BSrs, we're back with a new song and can't wait for you to hear it. Plus, we recorded this episode pool-side. Check it out!

    They say the early bird gets the worm, so if you're the worm, then I guess you need to be an even earlier bird...err, something; this actually has nothing to do with todays song, but it does get mentioned, and so do fish. Anyway,  in this episode Brad brings us a brand new song, and you don't need to know anything about anything to give it a listen.

    4.08: Adults With Needs - Tracks 6-10

    Hi BSrs! Todays episode we're taking a trip down memory lane to visit some old tracks off of Wade's Adult's with Needs album. Yes, this is a filler episode while we work on new songs, but we just couldn't stay away from you! The main takeaway from episodes like this is to hear where we came from, and to see how far we've progressed as songwriters and producers since then.

    4.05: Cheaters Always Find The Sun

    Hello and welcome back! In this episode we listen to a new song BY Brad, but it's not a new song TO Brad. You read that right! Yeah, this is a song Brad wrote about 10 or so years ago, and not only that, but he brings us the original demo he recorded back then too. We then get to hear his re-recorded version of the song, and then discuss and help  turn into a finished track. We also give an update on our 2023 ski season.

    4.03: Bye

    Hey BSrs! Welcome to episode 3 of Season 4, which just so happens to be Wade's first song offering of the year. This one goes way back, and was destined for the trash heap before this podcast project came along and had Wade always telling Brad not to throw all the songs he writes but doesn't like away...well, now it's time for him to take his own advice. It's an attempted salvage job,  join in and see how it turns out!
