Okay.
1. Does anybody *not* listen in stereo? I mean, c’mon. If anybody’s only got one speaker on their stereo, please speak up.
2. I uploaded a slightly mastered version of my cover – the levels should be better (which just means you’ll be able to hear my awful vocal gating job more easily).

I sometimes listen out of my computer speakers in a couple of circumstances so it basically sounds like mono. Jesse’s speakers were close enough together compared to where he sat that he didn’t get stereo separation.
Often when I mean “in stereo” I basically mean on headphones.

Yeah, I know, I know.
I’m just giving you crap because you’re using your blog for what is effectively promoting your songs over the other entries – when your song is “better in stereo!” the implication is that none of the other entries are mixed in order to take advantage of the stereo field. Which isn’t true!
Whether or not it’s your right to do such a thing, because it’s your blog, is another matter.
