HELLO LOVELIES, NEVER A BAND TO MISS OUT ON THE VERY MODERN WAY FOR MASKING SELF PROMOTION AS CHARITY, GOOD WILL AND CHRISTMAS SPIRIT, WE'VE UNEARTHED OUR OWN VERSION OF THE CHART TOPPING XFUCKTER HIT "HALLELUJAH" AND PUT IT UP ON OUR MYSPACE SITE. IN 2005 WE WERE ASKED TO RECORD A SONG FOR A JEFF BUCKLEY TRIBUTE ALBUM ON FULL TIME HOBBY RECORDS. REALISING THAT I HAD NEITHER THE VOCAL RANGE OR THE INTEREST NECESSARY TO COVER ANY OF HIS VOCAL GYMNASTICS, WE OFFERED TO COVER HIS VERSION OF LEONARD COHENS EPIC HYMN TO ALL THINGS SEXY AND CONFUSING. SADLY, WE CANT GIVE IT AWAY AS A FREE DOWNLOAD DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE DONT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THE SONG...... I TRIED, THE DAMN COMPUTER WOULDNT LET ME.
IT IS AVAILABLE ON ITUNES I BELIEVE, I ALSO FANCY THAT IF YOU HOUND THE LOVELY PEOPLE AT FULL TIME HOBBY VIA THEIR MYSPACE, LEAVE MESSAGES ON OUR COMMENT BOARD AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS THAT THERE IS YET ANOTHER VERSION AVAILABLE TO COMPARE AND CONTRAST... A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE MAY OCCUR.
ABSENTEE WILL BE BACK LATER IN THE NEW YEAR AFTER A BRIEF FLIRTATION WITH OUR SIDE PROJECTS LISTED BELOW. UNTIL THEN HAVE A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS TIME.
ALL THE LOVE, ABSENTEE.XXXXX
