one recording contract
I traded one cube van for one recording contract with Brendan.
Included in one recording contract:
1. 30 hours recording time
2. 50 hours mixing/post
3. Transportation to/from Toronto from anywhere in the world
4. Accomodations in Toronto.
5. You album will be pitched to executives at Sony-BMG and XM radio
6. You'll get on-going publicity from one red paperclip. I will post a link to your band's website and web store. This site has received over one million unique visitors since July of last year. one red paperclip is getting scads of media attention and that will only increase as I get closer to the house. I'm also writing a book about the experience, so you'll get a mention there as well.
7. You get to keep the one recording contract myspace page.
Here's some pics and vids from our trade:
In order to make the trade official, I had to sign the contract.....with the left-rear tire of the cube van, of course:
I'm so glad I didn't run over your fingers Brendan. That would've been so not cool. But then again, the footage would've been amazing.
Yep, it's even on paper. Here's what it looks like:

This is just amazing! I'm really enjoying your site and following the trades. Wish I knew someone who wanted a recording contract. Can't wait to see what happens next.
hey man great work on everything, i think this is one of the most inspirational sites out there on what you can do with so little... i mean if we dropped 1 billion red paper clips in africa then everyone could have a cube van to sleep in at night. But yea, with the record label i think youv lessened your audience cause only bands can barter now and may hav little to offer (as bands usually do) or maybe youll get some rich guy wanting to record some really really bad music who will trade you a small island or something... who knows.
anyway, goodluck mate your doin great
ill offer you 10 billion cubic metres of breathable air available anywhere in the world for your recording contract..
i'm sure william hung wouldda killed for this. hey maybe you'll get some pop idol failure snatch this up. find one who owns a harley, then you're set.

Still keeping an eye on your progress Kyle... Just posted your lasted trade on my site... Best of luck dude...
Hello my names Pania and I live in New Zealand, what a permo thing to think up I bet your gonna go world wide! Keep up the good trading.
Hey paperclip man:
You didn't mention where you want the house to be and if given a house do you cover transfer taxes, gst if the house is in canada etc?
I am too lazy to log into Blogger..you can reach me at sweetloyalnfun@yahoo.com
My sister would probably kill for something like this. I just emailed her about your little adventures and I am waiting to see what she thinks. Maybe, just maybe she'll have something to offer you for that recording contract. I guess we'll see.
BOO!
I will offer you the most prestigous school in england for your brain.
You bring back my faith in the creativity of human race. Not only you are taking care of yourself but you are bringing thousands of people closer together in a wonderful and fun way. I am so glad for you and your parents should be very proud of your genious idea! Congratulation
Hey Kyle, I was reading up on Strange News on Comast.net, and saw the article on you. I think you have a great idea here, it is kind of like the "Pay it Forward" method. There should be more people in the world like you. Keep up the great idea, maybe someday I will have something to trade to you.
You are unbelievable. I think this is amazing and I wish you all the luck on reaching your goal. I'll keep checking in to see if there's anything I can do to help.
Man these thing are amazing.
You've gotta love the Net.
Really cool idea and I'm thrilled to see the world community getting together and supporting people with a great idea and a way of making the world smaller.
