Remember when Trent Reznor posted The Hand that Feeds as a Garageband file? Well I downloaded it a while ago and I just recently found this old remix I’d made of it. Anyway, I finished it up today and figured I’d post it. I just cut out all the guitars and vocals from the original, recorded my own guitar parts, and rearranged the song. I wish more bands would post Garageband files of their music.

These United States - West Won. It’s been about two years since I last came across this band. I listened to this song today and I’m hooked. It’s from their album “Crimes.” Gotta love some twangy indie rock. Makes me want to go dig up The Snake The Cross The Crown as well.
