Loz. Hello.

A lover of books. After a faff around Tumblr, not really understanding it properly, this will become a purely bookish blog. I like other things too.

Attempting to read 50 books in 2011.

 

No Surprises

Interesting article on whether we should be really that surprised that auto-tune was used in the recent X-Factor auditions. I wasn’t watching but saw the clip later. As someone who has been involved in music production, it was achingly obvious and truly disgraceful. What worries me more is those who didn’t notice. 

Did the team honestly think they could get away with using auto-tune? I’m genuinely astounded by this; anyone who has heard ‘Believe’ by Cher knows what it sounds like. 

No, we’re not surprised but that doesn’t make it ok.
