I recently discovered a group of Youtube videos which I've been listening to nearly non-stop for the past week.


The series is called 'Auto-tune The News'. What the group does is take clips from major news outlets like MSNBC and CNN, and then 'Auto-tunes' them. Auto-tune is an audio editing plugin which allows for audio to be matched to specific music notes. Some call it the 'T-Pain' effect as he regularly uses it in his songs. This tuned audio is then set to some rather catchy beats resulting in an addictive song.

Besides doing news clips, the group also has taken speeches from Winston Churchill and John F. Kennedy and tuned them.
