I had no idea who T-Pain was until yesterday, while I was riding in a car. I heard words like auto tune, T-Pain, and some others I forget already. A friend asked if I had ever heard of auto tune- and dammit I said no, thinking it was a band of some sorts. ITS NOT. surprise. I am only 21, and dumber then an unsharpened pencil or a nail without a point. So I am listening to "Say it" by T-Pain, and hear the auto tune, and think it's all a buttload of shit. I think I heard Bon Iver use the auto-tune. Geezus.
I wish I could skip the ages coming up and become 59, or 62.
Edit- dang, I love how I am always out of the know. This was written in December of 2008. I usually find it useful to read articles written at least 7 months prior to now.. I am going to keep up the good work.
