“Advance Promotional Cassette” is a 3Side of recordings I’ve made at home recently. I had quite a bit of help from Ed Ackerson, my wife and Astronaut Wife bandmate Janey Winterbauer, and others. Some notes on the songs themselves:
Song #1: A Little Sun
Wrote this a long time ago and never recorded it. Jon Hunt help me arrange the chorus on this way back when. Most of it was recorded and mixed by me on my laptop at home, but the awesome drum track was played by Peter Anderson and engineered and edited by Ed Ackerson. Janey sings on it of course.
Song #2: Paper Airplane
Another one I’ve been meaning to record forever. Again, a home recording for the most part, except Janey’s vocals which Ed recorded and edited at Flowers when we had planned on her singing it.
Song #3: Stitching Time
This is a cover of a song by The Legendary Pink Dots – one of my all time favorite bands. I banged this out in a couple hours one afternoon. I really, really dig this song, hopefully it shows on the track.

Welcome to 3sidedsingles.com. This project is the result of a series of conversations between me, Ed Ackerson and Paul Kolderie over the past year or so. Between the 3 of us we’ve been fortunate to be involved in music from almost every angle: as fans, collectors, musicians, songwriters, producers. As owners of recording studios, labels and digital agencies.
So this website, this whole idea is meant to do something for everyone: give listeners great music, delivered simply while also giving artists a way to show more than just one side of themselves. Give producers a forum for showcasing projects they love in a low risk way. Create a concept that can be used and extended by others.
The main “product” of this site is the 3Side. Some 3Sides may be free, others may be for sale, but any profit from these releases will go directly to the artists. We’re not creating yet another label or distribution mechanism. This site is about an idea. And it’s one we hope everyone likes and wants to participate in.
