It's my birthday and I don't have to adult if I don't wanna. Cookies, cake, pie (pizza pie) and ice cream later. All made by yours truly save for the pizza.

The universe must have a sense of humor. I made it to 60.

(I didn't know about Ani DiFranco, but I knew the rest)

@NorthernInvader Autotune can be used to decent effect. The backing vocals on Lenny Kravitz's "Get Away" are autotuned, and they work.

But it needs to be used with great restraint. It's become a crutch for people who don't want to do a second take.

Am I mis-remembering things or can Katy Perry actually sing? I seem to recall that she can actually sing, and sing well.

Been working my way through her new album, and aside from it being, well, dull for the most part, she is auto-tuned on nealy every note.

This may be a production choice, but I am of the very strong opinion that singers should sing.

I'm only a decent singer but I've never used auto-tune, and never will.

@jurban nice! I love a good old fashioned patch bay.

Yeah, I know there is a procrastination test in my news feed. I'll get to it at some point.

There is not, and never has been, a station called KBSF in the San Francisco Bay Area.

There was a Low Power radio station with those call letters in Portland, owned by Slavic Community Center of NW, Inc.

They were hit with a written warning by the FCC in March 2019. I do not know if they still exist.

The story supposedly attributed to them about VP Harris is a LIE.

It's a Goddamned LIE.

It's almost as if they don't remember...

The first 20 minutes or so is done as a parody of a crime drama set in a small, cold town, right down to the disclaimer "Based on the Dutch Television Show 'Wandavision'." It's just fantastic.

Don't know if the rest of the show can match this, but it was pitch-perfect for that first little while.

The first 20 minutes of the first episode of "Agatha All Along" is just about the most perfect parody ever.

I can't even tell you of what without it being a spoiler, so I'll put it in the follow-up post in this thread.

@Tacitus_Kilgore I have every episode. Love this show.

This is one of my favorite Drop D Metal bands. Tetrarch with their new single, "Live not Fantasize".

I've been listening to the album "The Bound and the Infinite" by Thirteen Senses, which will be featured on The Album Show tomorrow on Radio Free California (the streaming radio station) and suddenly realized that the album is designed to be played in a loop!

The album ends on the same chord that it starts on, so that you could cue the first track to start exactly at the end of the last track and it would be seamless. You wouldn't even notice the transition.

Very cool.
