New Yorker: Uncovers the Secret of Auto Tune

Auto Tune
It’s not particularly a secret. In fact every artist and producer knows about it. Most every artist uses it. And some artist try to shine a spotlight on what has become known in the industry as the “Cher” effect. This week in the New Yorker Sasha Fere Jones breaks down exactly what the digital audio tool Auto Tune actually does. He also touches upon why it has gone from a helpful tool in producers tool box to exhibit “A” entered in to evidence as to why contemporary pop music ( including all your radio friendly hip hop) continues to suck.
Maybe there should be better performances from artist the shouldn’t need that much correcting. And maybe if you are going for effecting your vocal sound artist/producers/radio/labels should look elsewhere for inspiration besides a 10 year old pop track from an cougar with her ass hanging out straddling a war ship. ( We seriously do like that song though).

Death Cab For Cutie -Hobnox Interview

Here is a more straight forward interview with Death Cab For Cutie. David from Hobnox does an excellent job at drawing some personality out of the boys.
And he manges to get them to free style a lymric with “Death Cab For Cutie ” in it AND ask the pre-requiste questions ” Do you believe in Aliens? and When is the next Postal Service Record coming”

We and here at DYHT are more interested in the aliens answer.

Surprisingly you will get used to the huge advertisment that play in background

KCRW launches Guest DJ Project


Nic Hardcourt and his team have opened up the sandbox to let celebrities get down on their turntables. Well probably not so much actual dj’ing, but what they have launched The Guest DJ Project where celebrities discuss music that is has inspired them or that they just like. Very similar to the Celebrity playlist at the itunes store but less text and more Liza Richardson gushing over John Cusack.

      Do You Remember Rock & Roll?

      If not, let the Alabama Shakes remind you. They’re selling out shows across the country and their debut album isn’t even out for another couple months. I managed to see these blues-infused soul grabbers play a jam packed show at the Indy in San Francisco last night. Best overpriced scalped ticket I ever bought! Don’t [...]

      Did You Hear That: Adele “21″ a brief review

      From the first beat of “Rolling in the Deep,” the first track on Adele’s new album, “21”, it is clear that even at such a young age (all of 22 now), singer/songwriter Adele continues to be a force stronger than she may know. As “21” dips into the style of the country South with a [...]

      So Sayeth Pam: The Raveonettes “Forget That You’re Young”

      I like a young American band that makes vintage-sounding reverbalicious melodies. Specifically if those bands are Crystal Stilts, Vivian Girls or Dum Dum Girls. Call me a nationalist but I just happen to prefer their take on fuzz pop to that of their Danish predecessors, the Raveonettes. Which is not to say I dislike the [...]
