Make it Rain Dirhams

Suttle Thoughts - Arab Money (from Unknown 2009 Bootleg)
Backyard Band - Arab Money ( from Live at the Icon 2-11-2009 Bootleg)

Two Go Go covers of Busta's single that runs parallel with all the North African Auto-Tuned business. Something like this never really crossed my mind, but Anwan's troupe and new found (for me) Suttle Thoughts get it done in true Washington fashion. The emulation is really weird on both sides, both with samples and synths.

Now where is a conga funk Cumbia version of Rich Boy's Get to Poppin'?!

Autotune Awarness

Seems as though the wonderful Death Cab for Cutie have announced a campaign against "Auto Tune abuse in music", stating that the digital pitch correction software takes away the soul and character of their beloved music. "So we just want to raise awareness while we're here and try to bring back the blue note.... The note that's not so perfectly in pitch and just gives the recording some soul and some kind of real character". For a band as devoid of all they claim is holy I'd have to advise against listening to anything they have to say.

What a bunch of douchebags.
