Auto tune. That's the one PP, I couldn't recall the name. Cheers.
David, I agree. I tried very hard to ignore a succession of songs from a variety of singers that sounded like Alvin trying hard to sing with a vibrator implanted firmly in his arse and turned on max.
To probably totally misquote someone, if you can make it on a computer with no actual musical instruments or musicians present, it's NOT REAL MUSIC.

Bend over tin tights and I'll show you Airborne style. Only way, hard way, get used to it.

Talking Heads. Gotta' love their great 80s music vids, too. |
Love Talking Heads. When BC (before children) went travelling with my wife for a couple of years in the early '80's: '81-'82
In Milan got to see Talking Heads live. All was good, fantastic concert, but they oversold tickets (? forgeries) & people were locked out - they began to pull down the ramshackle wire fence, the Italian Police over-reacted and fired tear gas - very unpleasant. The band stopped, they asked / demanded the Police to stop, 20 min later (actually can't recall how much later) & sore eyes later the concert continued.
Lots of other smoke in the atmosphere as well at the time!!
Got lots of their vinyl & one 'best of' CD. Great band.

This might change your mind about that, Stui:

I saw Kraftwerk "performing" this stuff on a few laptop computers at a gig and it was actually a spectacular show. They also wrote exquisite tunes - recently the hook from "Computer World" showed up in a Coldplay song.
For a very different take on it, and just to prove it's as real as any music, here's a string quartet doing the same song, with the aforementioned David Byrne from Talking Heads singing! You'll enjoy this:

I do like Kraftwerk, actually. But I'd say they're the exception.

Not quite my taste but the melody is good, regardless of what it's played on. As David said, I'd call that an exception. Good melody written and played on synthesised instruments but also capable of being played well on traditional instruments.

Bought the CD "Slash" by Slash today. Guitarist from Guns and Roses for those who don't listen to Triple Eddie.
A collection of songs he's written, with a number of guest singers.
Actually quite good. Got it playing while I'm motoring around the house doing stuff.

The Tom Tom Club's Boyfriend with the strobe light ending (Crosseyed and Painless) was trippy.
Sadly I now am listening to George Harrison's Cloud 9. Sad because he was my favorite Beatle and then suddenly he was gone. (Maybe aboard Cloud 9?)
........and sadly because my external speaker source has just blown out it's 'aux line in' today which has left me with a tinny rattling sound....GRRRR.
Now I'm onto a mans man.
