Side One: Track One is a music blog that was started by John Laird in 2006 after he graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University and had to stop being the Music Director at KSAU 90.1.  Over the years the site has grown to include actual readers, some guest writers, a podcast and a film section, but it's still essentially about him (and friends) sharing songs that someone out there might like.  And?  Well, that's pretty much it.

In regards to the downloadable content on this site, it's only available for roughly two weeks and it's never archived.  Still, If you are an artist (or represent an artist) being featured on this blog and want a song taken down, contact John Laird, and it will be removed as fast as possible.  Nothing shared here at Side One: Track One is meant to be malicious or illegal, so trust us when we say it will be removed when requested.

Please do not steal bandwidth by hot/direct linking any of the files that are hosted on this site.

Now, to sum all of this up, take a look at the beautiful Side One: Track One family.
