Hey Cecile - Have you ever crossed paths with the musician/artist Douglas R Ewart up in your neck of the woods?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Fri. 3/1/13 10:06am Cecile:

I have seen him many times. He is a wonderful player.

Cool! I saw him last night playing with Wadada Leo Smith. I loved his spinning tops.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Fri. 3/1/13 10:08am Cecile:

oh, that sounds great.
I remember him playing at various times ham radio static, and a crutch covered with cymbals and bells.

A guy in shorts was standing next to me on the train last night clearly ahead of today's pack. I was ready to forgive if he seemed like maybe he'd just come from the gym but that was def not the case. He was bundled up a bit more on top .. mixed messages.
Avatar Fri. 3/1/13 10:46am Jennique:

Scott, I saw a dude walking around yesterday without a jacket in short sleeves. Kinda what you are talking about of the early-shorts-wearing knunckleheads. The Onion did a funny article on the UPS man in shorts as a harbinger of spring.

Autotune must die.
Avatar Fri. 3/1/13 10:59am Rev. Turnip Druid:

HAH, I think this discussion came up last week as well. This is the only context where I'll accept autotune: these wacky cats crank the crazy-legs hell out of it. As it should be.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Fri. 3/1/13 11:00am Cory:

I love the Polysic's use of autotune
Avatar Fri. 3/1/13 11:00am βrian:

Autotune, like other forms of torture, is never acceptable.
Avatar Fri. 3/1/13 11:01am Rev. Turnip Druid:

in other words: if it must be there, over-use it to apocalyptic proportions. It becomes surreal. But in the context of western pop music, the perpetrators must be strung up and fed to termites.
  Fri. 3/1/13 11:01am Lucy:

Listening to this show in my sleep produces some weird dreams, especially when Scott was talking about clothing and people being in bands. But it's hard to tell what you were actually saying and what my dream mind thought you were saying.
Avatar Fri. 3/1/13 11:02am dcp:

the only place I like it is on Adventure Time
Avatar Fri. 3/1/13 11:02am Sigurdur:

It's what Joseph Mengele dances to.
Avatar Fri. 3/1/13 11:04am Rev. Turnip Druid:

So what is autotune, really? A rackmount FX unit? Stomp-box? Some physical hardware, or a pc plugin thing? Can it be abused further? Taken off-the-map into glitch/noise territory? Just curious.
  Fri. 3/1/13 11:04am Lucy:

I see I'm one step below Mrs Ball.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Fri. 3/1/13 11:06am Cecile:

I like Autotune if it sounds like Zapp.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Fri. 3/1/13 11:07am Cecile:

Or at least Midnight Star
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Fri. 3/1/13 11:08am fred:

I only like autotune when it's extreme. And preferably used on instruments it wasn't designed for, not voice
Avatar Fri. 3/1/13 11:09am Rev. Turnip Druid:

yeh, that's my thought (fred) -- If "mis-used," any audio-mod tool could potentially be good fun.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Fri. 3/1/13 11:11am fred:

@Rev Turnip Druid: TG Gondard has been using one live for vocals, the good thing is that it doesn't work as intended in a noisish set. It can be a fun effect
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Fri. 3/1/13 11:13am DCE:

I've never seen a stompbox autotune--usually it's a plug in...I think there are some rackmounts available. But put that shit in a stompbox and put a patent on that, and watch the $ flow in.
  Swag For Life Member ♥ Fri. 3/1/13 11:14am 12539:

Is this intentionally slowed?
Avatar Fri. 3/1/13 11:16am Scott McDowell:

I can't tell, it's not marked on the LP. I *think* this is the right speed!

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Fri. 3/1/13 11:24am Sugarfly Waterloo:

I find autotune at it's worse when it's used to subtlely adjust the pitch on vocals. I find the unnatural transitions and plateaus grating.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Fri. 3/1/13 11:24am tim from champaign:

My dad's a Mason. Masons drink like lightweights. Now, eating swiss steak dinners, that's another story.

Damn straight, too much bad weed.
Avatar Fri. 3/1/13 11:55am G:

When I see a playlist song already yellow-starred, meaning I starred it a prior time it was played, that's gotta be the FMU equivalent of "heavy request"/"heavy rotation" -- 20 people have already faved that track, and I know I've heard it at least three or four times already... No, NOT tired of it, the opposite...
  Swag For Life Member ♥ Fri. 3/1/13 11:55am 12539:

Scott, I like your show on the days when I catch it. Such as today. Thanks.

strange, I starred that tune last time I heard it but it didn't show as starred today. So I re-starred it. Stay starred, peeps.
