HISTORICAL NOTES NOBODY CARES ABOUT:
An acoustic version was on the first Fancy Pants release, a two-song acoustic EP also titled The Last
Heel Turn (it's now out of print and not even mentioned on the website, perhaps because they used
the name for their recent full length). The acoustic The Last Heel Turn was released in 2001.
The same version used on The Last Heel Turn full-length (2002) was originally released on the second
Fancy Pants release, the Getting Used to Other People's Remote Controls EP (2002). The only
difference is that on the Getting Used to Other People's Remote Controls track there is a sample at
the beginning (source unknown) which goes "You mother***in god*** degenerate ***ing CUNT!" It
was a good way to start the CD, in my opinion, so it's too bad they took it out in the shuffle from EP to
full-length.
Graham plays (live at least) with only three strings on his guitar. However, I can't figure out how to do
any of these songs well without the four strings traditionally used for good power chords, so this is the
four-string version.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FANCY PANTS AND THE CELLPHONES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
