I actually thought it was going to be the Dave Clark, who I didn't much care for, but that was worse Completely with you on autotune though. Ghastly.

I've got a "boom box," so I can still play my cassettes and CD's. I've also burned most of my CD's onto i tunes, so I can listen to them on my i pod shuffle when I'm doing my LSD runs.

Eynsham Red Jul 2018 12:53pm, 26 Jul 2018 3,109 posts	0 Eynsham Red ^^^ As used on Cher’s “I Believe”, but as an effect rather than to correct an inability to sing. (Stands back and waits for comments about Cher being a rubbish singer anyway!)
