![]() Hey Cecile - Have you ever crossed paths with the musician/artist Douglas R Ewart up in your neck of the woods? |
![]() |
![]() 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. |
![]() |
![]() oh, that sounds great. I remember him playing at various times ham radio static, and a crutch covered with cymbals and bells. |
![]() |
![]() I saw the crutch! |

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. |

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. www.theonion.com... |

![]() I love it a whole lot, tim. I can't really pick a winner, but I kind of rooting for Jinx Monsoon - Seattle's premier Jewish narcoleptic drag queen. |

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. |

Autotune, like other forms of torture, is never acceptable. |

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. |

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. | |

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. | |
![]() |
![]() I like Autotune if it sounds like Zapp. |
![]() |
![]() Or at least Midnight Star |
![]() |
![]() I only like autotune when it's extreme. And preferably used on instruments it wasn't designed for, not voice |
![]() |
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. |
![]() |
![]() @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 |
![]() |
![]() 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. |
![]() Is this intentionally slowed? | |

Fri. 3/1/13 11:16am

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

Ike: can do nothing but agree whole-heartedly. Greatest cartoon EVER...I think. |
![]() |
![]() 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. |
![]() |
![]() My dad's a Mason. Masons drink like lightweights. Now, eating swiss steak dinners, that's another story. |

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... |
![]() 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. |
