i lied -- i couldn't stop messing with it. i re-recorded the guitar and put a whole lot more distortion on everything, including the vocal. everything is pretty clear sounding though, fuzz notwithstanding. this is much closer to what i always envisioned the song should be. the guitar needed to be more in front and the sound of the vocal needed to be more raw and exciting. to be honest, that original recording of long way off that i did with the cheaper mic made me want to hear more mic distortion on my voice. i think it also reminds me of being 14 years old and hearing my voice through a practice amp for the first time, distorted and loud and awesome.
