Auto-Tune: Why Pop Music Sounds Perfect

Auto-tune has been in use for a long time, I guess America is finally waking up to its pop-u-liciuos facade? Lets hope so. MTV ruined music when they made presentation more important than sound.

Music was great in the past-time because radio was the mass-medium and sound doesn't discriminate against physical characteristics that would otherwise make one unattractive for marketing.

Remember that The Monkees predated MTV.

How many years has it been since there was a blind or deaf musician on top charts? :)

A deaf musician? I can think of several blind musicians off the top of my head, but barring Beethoven (and only at the end of his life) I can think of no deaf ones, ever. Seems entirely contradictory, no?

This is Ebert's review of Touch the Sound, which is a documentary about a deaf percussionist.
