Quantum of Solace was not bad. It certainly had the best theme song of any Bond flick.

Good theme song does not equal good film. Quantum of Solace was just mediocre, although the opening car chase was well executed.

"If you feel a tinge of guilt every time you illegally download one of your favorite artist's songs from a torrent site, you can now breathe a little easier. As it turns out, some of today's biggest stars are big fans of file sharing technology themselves.

In what is the most curious cause célèbre in the benefit single field of late, major artists such as Kanye West, Diddy, Alicia Keys, Snoop Dogg and even Kim Kardashian have joined their voices together for a song in support of Megaupload, the file sharing service that moves content in massive blocks across the web.

What's particularly interesting about the song is that those singing on the track are doing so despite the fact that the major label record industry reviles Megaupload for the ease with which its music can be pirated by those using the web service. In fact, UMG, which owns labels to which Diddy, Will.i.am and Kanye are all signed, moved to have the video removed from YouTube, with a back and forth on copyright issues ensuing, TorrentFreak reports."

I think a certain Neko Case interview quote is appropriate there;

Case: 'When I think about Jackie Wilson or the Platters and then I think about modern, Top 40 music that’s really horrible, it makes me mad. … It’s not to do with the people who are doing it as much as the people who are producing it. There’s technology like auto tune and pitch shifting so you don’t have to know how to sing. That shit sounds like shit! It’s like that taste in diet soda, I can taste it– and it makes me sick.

When I hear auto tune on somebody’s voice, I don’t take them seriously. Or you hear somebody like Alicia Keys, who I know is pretty good, and you’ll hear a little bit of auto tune and you’re like, “You’re too fucking good for that. Why would you let them do that to you? Don’t you know what that means?” It’s not an effect like people try to say, it’s for people like Shania Twain who can’t sing. Yet there they are, all over the radio, jizzing saccharine all over you. It’s a horrible sound and it’s like, “Shania, spend an extra hour in the studio and you’ll hit the note and it’ll sound fine. Just work on it, it’s not like making a burger!”'

PITCHFORK: She’s pretty busy making videos and shit though.

CASE: It’s rough, I know. She’s so rich she could get somebody else to do the other stuff while she spends that extra hour in the studio. Or Madonna! Just hit the note! Don’t pretend it’s William Orbit being crafty — we know you’re not hitting the note because you have other shit to do. You can do it, I have faith in you. But don’t leave the studio before you hit that fucking note. And you know what? When you do hit it you’re going to feel so much more valid that it’ll come through in all the other shit you’re supposed to be doing later in the day. Seriously!

And if Celine Dion is supposedly the great singer that she says she is why is there auto tune on every fucking word in her songs? Can’t you just hit it, Celine? Do you have another baby book to shoot? You gotta paint your baby to look like a pot of peas? What are you doing that you can’t be singing in the studio? It’s your fucking job!

>> ^ctrlaltbleach:
I want that piano shes playing.


I wouldn't mind if she came with it...

^Actually I know I sifted it but Im not a huge fan I just like this particular song. My favorite part is the whole Alicia Keys Chorus.

Alicia Keys never disappoints.. but Jay-Z.. don't get me started.
Phony corporate rapper, fledgling occultist, and egocentric to the max (although that's not really unusual for a rapper).

Don't forget to vote!
