It’s so cool how, once again, Geoff J and Jay-Z are right there on the same wavelength.

I know I’m a geek, but I kind of like those “Symphony of Science” ones that are done on Sagan, Feynman, and Hawking’s talks. Though autotuning Hawking might lead to some bad feedback effects. You’ve got to be careful there.

I think one of the most recent egregious offenders is Leighton Meester. If you don’t mind scrubbing off your retinas later, you can watch her new video on the CW website, or she’s also featured in Cobra Starship’s “Good Girls Go Bad.”

LOL. If ever there was a style that needed re-invention it is hip hop. They’ve been repeating the same thing over and over again for years.

Jay-Z says the robot voice will destroy Hip-Hop and R&B. I don’t know if he meant that as a good thing or a bad thing. I only know how I took it (good).
