Just came across this somehow which is odd considering it originates from the CMT website.
Yes, this is Taylor Swift (a.k.a. T-Swizzle) and auto-tune extraordinaire T-Pain (a.k.a. T-Pizzle) teaming up on a song called, "Thug Life".
We see a side Taylor Swift, that I didn't know existed, when she belts out, "Still live with my parents but, I'm still a thug!"
Normally I would be against this but...
...something about it makes Taylor Swift that much more attractive.
Is it just me?

The Most Fun I've Had Ever: Smule's "I Am T-Pain"
I bought this the other day due to a lot of buzz in the "blogosphere"
Suffice to say, the "I Am T-Pain" app for the iPhone is in fact...INCREDIBLE
You literally feel like you've been thrown into a studio and given your shot to make millions...and T-Pain is going to auto-tune the crap out of it.
And I know everyone is all in a fuss over auto-tune and its popularity, but look beyond that.
The 'fun factor' of this has nothing to do with the music industry, it's in the experience.
I brought this to a party and people literally swarmed it for a good hour.
My roommate wouldn't 'freestyle' if you offered him money to do so, but after watching me for a few minutes he jumped right in. What comes out though...that's the best part...this could make Roseanne Barr sound like the next big thing (Lil Rose?)
ALSO, The iPhone headphones that come with it are a MUST to get the full experience, because they have the microphone built right in near your mouth...or you could just have a loud speaker setup ala:
- The app is $2.99 in the Apple app-store and thinking about it, you get A LOT for that price. It's Antares auto-tune in the palm of your hand...what more is there to say?
--- ALSO AS I mentioned, and as you could imagine, some of the stuff you produce from here comes out great and is something you want to keep.
Sure the app has 'e-mail this song' functionality, but that's a pain and takes you to a streaming site. Let us think LONG TERM Smule!
If you want to save your tracks as .m4a, it takes 5 minor steps, but it can happen!
Tada! That's the URL to your file, enter it into your browser and you'll be taken to the page. Either it will be streaming and you can goto "File --> Save Page As" or it will just straight up ask to save. Have fun...

- FIRST, use the "Send Song in Email" functionality of the iPhone app and email it to yourself.
- SECOND, follow the link to your song from the email and wait until the page loads. When it's complete, Right Click and Choose, "View Source").
- THIRD, do a search (CTRL+F usually) and look for: return playSong('button0'
- FOURTH, look a few characters to the right of the found text and you'll see a long string of numbers and letters that looks like: '6XX4X010-XXA2-XXX9-AXXX-18XXXDXA67'. COPY that string of characters, which is your unique song ID.
- FIFTH, enter the string of numbers you just copied into the format below...replacing the bold string of characters with YOUR UNIQUE set:
Tada! That's the URL to your file, enter it into your browser and you'll be taken to the page. Either it will be streaming and you can goto "File --> Save Page As" or it will just straight up ask to save. Have fun...

George Brett's Accident Gets The Autotune Treatment
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love things auto-tuned, that shouldn't ever be auto-tuned.
Take for example, this conversation that Hall of Famer George Brett had with his team during some stretches. Just a quick note: the actual video is about 30 second clip of George Brett talking about a time he shit his pants in public. That's actually what it is and it's not overdubbed (search for it and you'll see). So this is more like an auto-tuned theme song for an ex-lax commercial.
