I went over to Gina’s place to discuss a recording she gave me - a song called Pancakes & Cereal.  A few months before, she had sent me an entire 8-song EP – The Breakfast EP – that she recorded with her friend Jared Creighton (we also touch upon this in Episode 2, when I interview Jared).  Here, Gina and I talk about the birth of the Breakfast EP concept, their interesting method of pulling song ideas from a hat, and how Gina’s non-musician background doesn’t keep her from being creative with music.  Gina is from Massachusetts, currently residing in Somerville, MA.

I went over to Jared Creighton’s apartment recently and spoke with him about a demo he gave me called “My Baby Left Me.”  We discussed the song’s mysterious origin, how he and bandmate Jeff DeCaro recorded the song, and why picking ideas from a hat is a good songwriting technique.  Jared lives in Somerville, MA, and is currently in a rock group called Springsteen Soda Stream (also known as The Musikill Disastronauts) and a rap group called Crusty Sizzle & Sammy Fresh.
