Jemina from Be Your Own Pet left a message on the band's MySpace bulletin today:This is absolutely ridiculous… too violent?? ...is Universal targeting BYOP to elementary school children? This is really a downer for North American fans as "Becky" is the best song on Get Awkward and "Black Hole" and "Blow Yr Mind" are both great too! I am still quite surprised and disappointed that Universal banned those songs from the album... nevertheless, I have put up links to the songs below, so feel free to download them... if you can handle the violence!i know everyone is super confused with the three missing songs on the US album. we didn't choose for this to happen and we're not trying to fuck anyone over with giving them an unfinished album. uniersal decided that becky, black hole, and blow yr mind were "too violent" to be released. talk about a bummer time! they gave us the choice of changing the lyrics and rerecording the songs, or to have those three songs removed from the album. we decided to remove the songs, because we don't think there's anything wrong with the lyrics in the first place! we are going to release those three songs on a special ep that's going to come out this summer. sorry we didn't make an announcement sooner. we've been doing so much press about how the album got fucked in america, that i guess we assumed that most people already knew. well, hope that clears some things up.
Black Hole [wicked-cool song]
Becky [super-wicked-cool song]
Blow Yr Mind [wicked-cool song]
