Auto-Tune / An evening on the Internets

by Doug LeMoine on 30 September 2008

We have a house guest this week, and we’ve been doing a lot of hanging out while reading and listening to music. Last night, the discussion turned to Auto-Tune, and it quickly revealed the beauty of being at least somewhat Internet-literate. Speaking of Internet-literate, this is our houseguest: Dave.
