American guitar legend Les Paul passed away today. While I haven’t had the pleasure of owning a Les Paul myself, I have worked with musicians who did, and I understand the love. Back in my Midget Farmer days we recorded a song to honor this great man and his legendary guitar. This track was written by guitar demon Danny ‘Bloodspoon’ Grady, who graced us with his presence whenever we played this tribute live. Here’s the studio version that appeared on our album “America’s Place to Waste your Life” released in 1993.

Auto-Tune is clearly the special effect du jour in both hip-hop, and viral videos on the internets. Most people seem to be all up in arms about hip-hoppers overdoing it, but I’m still digging it. Mostly because I only listen to commercial radio when I drive rental cars and therefore control my Auto-Tune ingestion.
While we’re in the “Season of Auto Tune”, here is a collection of auto tune influenced videos that I just love to watch and watch over again. If I missed any classic Auto-Tune action, please send me a link and update the collection.
Here’s a simple Flex soundboard with the Arnold prank phone calls.
