Dankiel Franke’s One Minute Soundsculpture

This is the video for 2Girlz‘ Fallin Angels, sent my way via Twitter by @podcastmama, who asks “Is this the worst use of AutoTune, ever?”

That’s a tough question to answer, but the video for Fallin’ Angels has a lot going for it:

• Gratuitous rain shots? Check.
• Generic trance beats and sounds? Check.
• Vocalists lip-syncing non-existent harmony parts? Check.
• Hot sisters competing to see who can wear the skeeziest outfit? Check.
• Original lyrics? “I’m just a fallin’ angel, Loosing my religion, Trying hard to fly.” Check.
• A special visit from the high school line-dancing strip squad? Check.
• Classic 80’s style green-screen work? Check.
• Vertical motorcycle riding? Check.

The AutoTuning is just the icing on the cake.

OT: The funkiest Storm Trooper ever dances to Singing in the Rain by Mint Royale.

Breakfast at Sulimay’s, a video blog that features retirees reviewing current music, takes a look at MGMT’s Kids.

They’re pretty dead on. What do you think?

Note: the part of the MGMT video about 5 minutes in looks like just about every kids’ TV show I watched as a kid. Maybe that explains something.

OT: Georgia Brown, who claims to have the largest vocal range on the planet, is hereby The Human Theremin.

Give it a listen and let me know what you think!
