Bacon, Egg & Cheese
This episode of Jam Sandwich is a basic breakfast breakdown of Joe & Ginny's favorite layers of musical junk food. There are mix tape staples like Dan Deacon, Best Friends Forever, and Future Islands that have been cultured and aged in the cheese caves for months, but there's also a half dozen bands straight out the Brooklyn chicken coop, like a Lucky Dragons single from a new Swill Children record, and Afu-Ra (of Gang Starr fame), who had recently rocked the Bushwick Party Hall, Big Snow Buffalo Lodge. We've even slipped in a few cured slabs of lore, like The Best Thing Ever singing with dogs, and an Public Service Announcement on the perils of sugar by Ed Schraeder. Also featuring some sweet treats by The Babies, naked-and-duct-taped Japanese party animals Trippple Nippple, EMA, and Paul Baribeau playing far out on a dock somewhere.

RADIO SERIES
Jam Sandwich is how it sounds: A ridiculously awesome super sandwich of some favorite jams. You could say Joe is one piece of bread and that Ginny is the other piece, working in concert to hold together some of the freshest ingredients the radio has ever tasted. Simply put, Jam Sandwich is a collaborative effort to share with the world the constant flow of songs and bands that characterize the lives of the two host/producers.
Recorded directly to cassette tape, Jam Sandwich upholds the values and aesthetics of the traditional mix tape. The hosts hope that the content of the songs outweighs the quality of the recording and that the DIY production out-values occasionally awkwardly improvised song introductions. About the series, Ginny writes, "We hope that these songs impact you like they have impacted us. We hope that after listening to our Jam Sandwich that you become inspired to make a mix tape of your own."
