Freewill Distant Early Warning

The nihilist in me says most likely he’s actually been using it for a while and it’s just never been noticeable before (I’ve heard the number of pro singers not using it at all these days is shockingly few, and has been for a long while). Less likely he botched a take that bad and more likely the engineer got too heavy handed with the software in post. How that passed the smell check with Eddie though I have no idea.

yea. his voice has remained mostly the same decades later. so the pitch correction had me confused. Did he blow a take that bad? if so he could do it again, lol Mick

I don’t mind triggered drums really. I get it, some drum sounds just don’t exist otherwise and are desirable. But pitch correcting Eddie Vedder and allowing it to be noticeable? Why? Like, if he missed a note here or there and you can make it subtle enough that I can’t tell you fixed it, sure. But it was all over that track and not hiding very well, and also not really blatant enough to sound like it’s being used for the effect… also why would you use that effect on Ed’s voice? Like. Have you heard him sing? Digital effects do not mix well with that instrument imo.

there's pitch correcting on there for sure. and i'm pretty sure triggered drums too. yea honestly this wasn't my fav effort. Like Gigaton way more. Mick

Bedard will play at Worlds.

Pearl Jam - Dark Matter Another Sky - Beach Day Liked the new PJ. I never spun Gigaton, so I guess I’ll have to go back and try that one too. One thing though, the vox on track two sounded a little off to me… sorta autotuned? Idk. Otherwise it’s a good song, but there’s something really off putting about Eddie Vedder going through any kind of pitch correction.

or Neurotica Rush has some shit songs. let's not pretend here, lol Mick

Because there isn't any.

(The) KKK Took My Baby Away - Ramones

Core - Stone Temple Pilots

But Xwitter and it's white supremacist propaganda gets a free pass from them. Do as I say, not as I do.

Happy Together is one of my favorite oldies radio songs I was exposed to as a kid when mom played the ratio station around me. Apparently, even Van has disowned Brown Eyed Girl.

That was the bewildered bemused grimace of a man confronted with the ultimate cock-up.

Snakes & Arrows (I haven't heard it in a while)

money.

food.

Jeera biscuits!

What was Klopp so happy about after Everton's second? Smile from ear to ear...

I have never used Tik Tok but know of others who use it for their business. I would assume they could use other social media for the same thing but I am not clear on why the same scrutiny is not being directed towards Meta, YouTube and Twitter. The foreign government involvement is worrisome but I haven't seen much information to back that up. Seems like a knee jerk reaction IMHO but I don't have a dog in this fight.

I love Percy Jackson, I just got the new one on audio (it's one of the series I love to listen to). I am glad to see familiar characters come back, I hadn't heard it was going to be a trilogy, that sounds good to me. Still reading Hell is Empty, got behind this last week with some family issues (a death of a pet, family member passed). Plus it is hockey playoffs so that eats into my reading time

Van Morrison every time. Great voice; nice lyrics without being insipid. Funkier groove.
