Here's another instrumental track for you -- this time it's "Gold Star (Feel Like A Ghost)."

Some notes: I love the dry guitar sounds, but I wish they were louder. In retrospect, I think the drums are panned too wide and are getting in the way of those guitars. I was going for a Bob Mould roar, but I think the result was more Interpol.

The eerie swirling synth-like sounds during the third verse and outro are actually made by a FL Studio plugin effect called BeepMap, which generates sound from an image file. I think I used my Gravatar image to create the sound pattern, tuned it to match the song, then stretched it to the tempo. Ain't technology great?

I don't think I've ever played this song live! Too bad, it's a favorite of mine to play solo acoustic.
