Those voice synthesizer things make me want to hang myself from my eyesockets on rusty hooks.

You're the one who was reading articles on MTV.com, subby, so let's not play the whole "I'm so elevated I am unaware of the flavor of the week" thing.

I'm so old, I remember when it was considered wack to put a singer on the record. But those West Coast fools just couldn't resist.
