Frank Zappa on the coming 'Fascist Theocracy'. (1986)
by hillary_step inapart from the comic value of this interview in which frank zappa presents his views on censorship, i found it interesting that he was mocked for suggesting that the us was set on a course that was leading to a 'fascist theocracy'.
this was recorded in 1986 so the quality is a little ragged, but the spirit shows through!.

Sobering reminder...
by hillary_step in........that everything that you have ever written and posted online is there for an eternity and will be accessible for your great grandchildren to read.
"hey mom, listen to what great-grandad said about our great forefather vishnu mohammed bush - he called him a colon hole".
be careful what you write.

Musical Dishonesty - What next?
by hillary_step inone of the saddest and imho dishonest introductions into the popular music world in recent times is the processor introduced by antares called 'auto-tune'.. this combination of hardware and software processes the music, and especially the vocals of musicians, to automatically correct the tuning for example, of voices which cannot hold a note or sing in tune and does so in virtually real-time.
it is used by a growing number of vocalists who are untrained and cannot sing in tune and allows them to parade on stage as if they were note perfect.. numerous amateur and professional performers alike have decided that autotune is one way that removes the need for talent or hard work and have no issue with dishonestly representing themselves as long as the cash flows.
it is set to become standard equipment on tour.. i cannot help but feel that we have lost something big along the way.. hs.
