		<title>New 3-Sided single!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;
I keep forgetting to post about my new single that Susstones/3-Sided Singles has released. Called ackerson2.1, it includes &#34;Go Ahead and Cry&#34; plus &#34;Forcefield&#34; from the new solo album, plus an electric version of &#34;Flashes of Light&#34;. The 3Side is a free download, and includes full artwork and notes from me about the songs.

This a massive, sprawling wonderland of an album, 2 discs full of smart, high-energy, freaky pop music. There is a definite &#34;journey&#34; to the album, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Janey Winterbauer+Marc Perlman EP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My longtime friends Janey and Marc have released their debut EP. I produced it with Marc, and played a bunch of instruments along with other guests (Gary Louris, Tim O&#39;Reagan, Peter Anderson, Kraig Johnson, Tim Oesau). I think we made a pretty atmospheric, timeless-sounding record. More details about the release at Susstones, buy it now [...]]]></description>
