wow, that is not what I expected! a nice surprise! thank you! <3

sweet find

Thanks! Is that the x-mas remix? Love that version.

Cool!

Awesome!

that sounds... different. weren't there people asking for a Gaslight Christmas song? guess they got what they were wishing for =)

Love it - some other cool free downloads from other Side One Dummy acts on there as well.

this version is ...interesting

still good

Better than the electric version

Sounds sorta like WDIWWWY. I wonder what the whole album would sound like in that style. It would probably be pretty rad.

seriously, upon a second listen I normally find acoustic tracks inferior, but that had enough extra stuff thrown in to make it completely different and awesome. I really really want to see American Slang Unplugged now.

nice one. totally agree with that version coming very close to a TGA Christmas song
it is different ... but I like it.

Typically managed to miss this (or else the link just isn't working for me), but is anyone able to uplaod the song, please?

it's a direct download, there's no need of uploading it anywhere else. try doing what 'steady now' said: "right click and 'save as' to download". if it still ain't working i'll upload the song

EDIT: the Banquet Records site isn't working right now, that's why you're not able to download the song. i think Gaslight fans just crashed the server xD once it's back up again you should have no problem getting the song, so just wait a bit

Dangerously cool!
Sounds like a Christmas present . Such a beautiful song

Here`s the direct link again: http://www.banquetrecords.com/audio/Boxer.mp3

Yeah i think i got onto the site a little before it crashed, so the link just wasn't downloading, rather than the mp3 actually being removed.
Thanks very much!

this song has a 'jumpy beat' for sure... (making reference once again to the Explore Music interview from earlier this year)

Last Christmay by the Gaslight Anthem

No, seriously it´s a nice version. Different from what i´ve expected, but interesting hearing the song in a version like this.

awesome. Keep em coming.

This is what I imagine a Brian Fallon solo record to sound like. Muted guitar and lots of echo. Nice.

Funny you should say so, because I have just had it on good authority that Brian recorded this version at home and that he did everything on there, the back ups, the percussion parts, etc.

anybody else getting a tom waits vibe on this version? maybe its just me...

I really like that version, but them I am a sucker for an acoustic take on a song. I'd love to see what they would do with Great Expectations slowed down, I think that would be pretty amazing.
