Free Music

So I’m in the process of uploading older music to the site so people can download whatever they want, when they want, for free. Added a “donate” button for good measure.

I’m thinking about adopting this payment scheme for my next project. More info on that in the future. Meanwhile, I’ve uploaded just about all of the Face to Glass material. Check out the link:

Autotune in Nova Science

Found this through Digg. Pretty neat, especially if you aren’t aware of how Auto-tune works.

Did the Jackson 5 Lip Sing?

Obviously those kids could play their butts off… but in this video, they’re obviously older. I dunno if Michael woulda sung those notes at that age… maybe. But Jermaine at least would not sound like he was still 14! And he does. Also, notice how they cut the song off right before the talking part? Also, there are strings in the recording, and there are no string players in that studio. Nowadays you could attribute it to a backing track, but I have my doubts as to whether or not they did that back in the day. What do you think?
