I know that a lot of fans don't like folks fussing with their favorite songs (we removed one of the pesky chords!), but I hope some of you will enjoy it. It's been posted by our label, American Dust, here: http://blog.americandust.net   BJ Unregistered guest Posted on Saturday, August 16, 2008 - 04:57 pm:    Here's a direct link to the zip file for easier download! http://www.americandust.net/apologyaccep ted.zip   Dr Girlfriend Member Username: Doctor_girlfriend Post Number: 60 Registered: 10-2007 Posted on Sunday, August 17, 2008 - 02:03 am:    Good lord, 33.3 MB? What are these, the ProTools stems?   BJ Unregistered guest Posted on Monday, August 18, 2008 - 02:44 am:    Ha! I know it's ridiculous, but mp3s drive me absolutely nuts and I figured since these were exclusively downloads I wanted them to sound good. We did throw in some pretty "cover art", too. Hey, they're free! Anyone like 'em?   spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 2571 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Monday, August 18, 2008 - 10:10 am:    I downloaded your stuff, its nice yeah, I'm not much for cover versions that are so alike the originals, but i like your original work that came along in the download.   BJ Unregistered guest Posted on Tuesday, August 19, 2008 - 04:06 am:    Thanks for the comments. I share your general feeling for covers -- it's a bit of a vanity thing on our part, I suppose, but also a chance for us to express our debt to The GBs and it's become something of a live highlight that people ask for. Plus, it was fun to record! I'm glad you liked the "original work". If you're curious to hear more, there's an mp3 posted here: http://www.byebyeblackbirds.com/ghosts.m p3
