Musical Technology Bringing Us "Down Down"

Sometimes, technology brings us 2gether.

Its how Im able 2 ViddyChat with my besties when Im feeling restless on a Sat nite but dont want 2 leave my house.

Its how I send my grrlfrnd flowers on random occasions by connecting 2 the 1800Flowers.com iPodTouch app I bought 4 $9.99.

Its how I can hack in2 my moms bank account via my BlackBerry iStorm when I need extra funds.

Its how I share my angst feelings on ppl's fb walls while lipsync-ing my fave angst songs.

But sometimes, technology ruins evrything.
Like talent.
Thnx 2 audio-tuning, it doesnt rly take much effort 4 "singers/rappers" 2 make mainstream-loved tracks these days.

Keep hearing that ovrprocessed 80's-cover song by the AfricanAmerican Musician FloRida lately bcuz the CDPlayer/iPodMini Connector is broken so I have 2 listen 2 the radio.
Miss the old "U Spin Me Round Like A Rcrd Baby" song. Dont rly miss u Dead.or.Alive.
But cant believe this original hit dancetrack was turned in2 such a graphic sexualrefrnce in the Florida song as he sings 2 his lover, "U spin my head right round right round when you perform fellatio."

Already thought that 2000's Rap was a lil bit of a Musical cop-out bcuz u dont rly need 2 sing, u can just speak in a hip way nd have good beats.
But now u dont even have 2 rap 2 create what mainstream music deems as "Fresh Tracks".
H8 u LilWayne nd ur gross digitalized voice thing.
Miss u when u used 2 rap nd not AudioTuneSing, Kanye.

Not only does it not take much talent 2 make a "Hit Song", it doesnt take much 2 perform 1 anymore either.
Exmpl: The following dreaded performance:


Cant beleive we've cum 2 a day where ppl can put on a concert via solely their iPhones.

Wonder if ppl will just settle 4 this in the future or if this will b the straw.that.breaks.the.hipster's.back nd ppl will take 2 the streets demanding that concerts cant b performed via iPhones.
I want 2 b certain that the next concert I go 2, there will b no iPhone-performance section of it.

Thank u Loney, Dear nd Andrew Bird 4 not doing anything even remotely like this at the amazing concert u's both performed last month here in LA.
Truly appreciate Andrew Bird's musical genius nd his integration of technology via recording himself during the concert nd then playing back his recording in order 2 play more over it.
I deem this A Good integration of technology vs. A Bad "2kNine.iPhone.Concert.Series" integration of technology.

Bitchin 2 bring iPhone Concert Reform,
