To Autotune, or not to Autotune. Now there's a question...

This is a random transmission...

So, there has been a lot of debate over using Auto-tune in the music industry.   I concur that it is negatively affecting some artists (I mean c'mon T-Pain...enough already), but some good has come out of this newfound craze.

1. Owl City:  Hate or love, you know you totally love Adam Young's soothing Auto-tuned voice and the super chill and catchy synthpop beats.  Who can disagree with...

"I want to make myself believe..."

 Don't lie, you totally sang out the next line.

2. Auto-tuned YouTube videos: Okay, there are 100s if not 1000s of crappy ones, but then you come across gems such as 'Baby T-Pain' and, my personal favorite 'Kanye & Charlie Autotuned'.  Enjoy.



Signing off...

Ummmm...Party at Uni Today?

Ummmm...so I don't know what is going on today, but Vince Vaughn is in our office.

I'm, again, at my desk and I hear all this ruckus in the conference room. One of the other interns comes back and is all "Umm...Vince Vaughn is in our conference room." And I was all like "What?! I need to go...uh...get something from the copy room."

So I do one of those ::look-out-of-my-peripherals:: as I make my way to the copy room and BOOSH low and behold Vince Vaughn in all his glory is hanging out in our conf. room...making everyone laugh.

It's been a good day so far.

UPDATE!!

Rainn Wilson has entered the building!!

I'm sitting at my desk, when I hear someone coming down the hall. So, naturally, I look up and BAM I'm hit with Dwight Schrute. It was a slightly awkward moment because it took me like 4 seconds to fully grasp the idea that I was in the same building as him. I know, I know...I'm a dork.

Danny McBride

Soooo...another interesting morning here on the Backlot of Universal Studios. I was on my way to pick up some DVDs for the office when I met Danny McBride. He was very nice and totally cool. Here's how everything unfolded:

A lost-looking man asks me for directions. I was about 90% sure I knew who this guy was, but he was wearing sunglasses so I just kept my cool. So I help the guy out and tell him where to go and we're pretty much heading the same direction. So, on the stairs he holds out his hand and says, "Hi, I'm Danny." and we go through the pleasantries. On the outside I'm as cool as the other side of the pillow, but on the inside I'm like "OMGosh you were in Drillbit Taylor, Pineapple Express, TROPIC THUNDER!!"

And that's what happened this morning.

James Van Der Beek

So...interesting morning. Had a little run-in with Dawson today. He's definitely still got that boyish charm about him. Didn't recognize him at first, but it didn't take me long to figure it out as he flashed his pearly whites when I handed him a bottle of room temp water.
