There are huge differences in using autotune to sound like you can sing in pitch, using it as an effect (or vocoding), and playing the guitar with effects. Do you know of any guitarists that use auto-tune for accurate intonation when they play?? Please name them so I can explain how you don't know what you're talking about.
I dig these tracks and am psyched to check out the rest of the album. I thought "Same Mistakes" was a beautiful song. Funny they've now titled a song after themselves, referring to their "heyday"; "CYHSY, 2005"
Yeah underwhelming for me too, big time. But more importantly, in the Welcome to the Party vid, is that the Bolla Market with the Burger King in Greenpoint by Meeker?
Ah, nice selection! Those versions were about 5 years apart. Both make me think of looking for my crush at the roller skating rink for the slow skate. Both still in the '80s!
Agreed. Kinda funny to think that Costello made that song more popular with his own version only 4 years after the original came out. I'm trying to find an example of that happening in more recent times...like 4 years isn't enough time these days for a cover to be cooler than an original in a big single success sort of way...
No doubt.
Is it me or does Gaga's face-to-arms-to-body proportions in this pic look so off? Like a bad photoshop but probably not. My eyes are buggin out...
A good percentage of Strokes, VW and Bon Iver fans may plan to vote for Bernie, but to assume their entire audience or even a majority of their audience is voting for Bernie or voting at all is a naive overgeneralization.
Love it. Dude's sound was always ahead of its time, but not too much ahead to not make a real impact when it was new.
Since he was the head of Def Jux, it's interesting to me that ISWYD is streaming now for the first time (as in, I can't imagine rights ownership being the issue). Wonder why?
Also, is skronk-rap a thing I can say?
Eilish performance was flames and "fashion". I am happy for her success, wish her the best...but there's no doubt she's being celebrated for image or substance because any of her songs are derivative, mediocre pop songs that any of the other "stylist" musicians in mainstream pop put out.
