I've been looking around for a copy of
Glenn Branca's Symphony Number 3: Gloria. It's pretty expensive;
Amazon has three copies ranging from a mere £60 up to over £200.
Throwing a few terms in google then, I came across one of those dodgy MP3 sites with this auto-generated piece of awesome:
‘Symphony No. 3 (Gloria)’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. For older fans Symphony No. 3 (Gloria) will put a massive smile accross your face. two years ago, Glenn Branca briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Second Movement”. This is the best album I have heard in a long time
Glenn Branca rocks harder than ever with Second Movement. Third Movement sets the tone for the entire album.

See...
If you're unfamiliar with Auto-tune, and especially if you listen to much pop and rock, you might not hear it initially. When overdone, the effect yields an unnatural yodel or warble in a singer's voice. But the sound is so commonplace in modern mainstream music that your ears may have tuned out the auto-tune!

Been a crappy year for music... apart from Battles, the White Stripes and the Go! Team. But at least there's a full album from
Absent Kid to look forward to next year.

Every one* of my nearest neighbours on
Last.fm would have trouble buying a drink in the US...
I'm not sure if that's cool or creepy.
* that's given their age anyway
