from the greatly-exaggerated dept.
macdaddypunk writes "We all remember last December's grim news: MP3.com closed its doors, warning thousands of musicians that 'all your content will be deleted from our servers.' However, as the Wall Street Journal reports today, most of the original MP3.com archive was never deleted! Two companies, GarageBand and Trusonic, claiming to have a legitimate copy of the archive, are now enabling former MP3.com artists to visit www.MP3isBack.com and recover their MP3.com music, instantly re-generating their artist pages with just a few clicks. Trusonic, itself a Vivendi spin-out, focuses on licensing music to retailers for in-store airplay. GarageBand, like a HOTorNOT for music, offers free mp3 downloads and claims to host the definitive charts of independent music."

Drooly!
Actually I dont like the production of the songs at all. They the first few songs I wrote, and I got this young Chinese guy to do the backing at a really high cost. I tried explaining to him what I wanted, but they ended up being his influences instead of mine, a big mistake, since most people listen to very dated music here, even the young kids. Anyway, I was totally naive back in 1999 and just grateful that I had a CD!!!
I've done a total rewrite of Pay the Price, and Heisha perform it as a straight rock number - no funk of heavy production in there. The tune is different, and the end of the verses go up instead of dissappearing downwards, and it now has a hooky chorus. Its also called HARD LABOUR heh. All in all, a different song, but somewhat similar lyrics.
Hard Labour
You wanna house in a cul-de-sac
and the tax man off your back
you want it all
they gotta craw
but boy you dunno what you're gonna get
no, you dunno what you're gonna get
You got a huge 7 digit income
and an army under your thumb
you change the rules
to suit your moods
but boy you dunno what you're gonna get
no, you dunno what you're gonna get
Ch:
I bet you dont expect to do
Hard labour
but guess whats coming straight at you
hard labour
an extended sentence wasnt in the plan
now stand up and take it like a man
You live a life of personal gain
and you ride that gravy train
but redifined
you're in a bind
a fashion statement in prison stripes
oooo you'll wake up shaking cold as ice
m8
you wanna wife
a comfy life
2 kids in university, thats nice
but will you ever get to see em
no you're too busy keepin
your bankers and your tax accountants happy...
repeat ch to end
There are lots of nice breaks, and an 8 beat countdown before "Hard Labour"...
Drooly, do you sing any solos, or do you only do harmony vocals?

Well, since I manually deleted everything from empty3.cpm b4 the krash, this does naught for me.
I still want to see Heisha live. So either you gotta play in DC, or I need to get my happy a$$ to HK!
