Don, it would seems you've listened to Sinéad O'Connor as much as you've
listened to the Cranberries :)


You've been to a live Sinéad O'Connor gig and you've never heard her do
Mandinka?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ???????????????


Don, how long were you actually living in Timbuctoo? :)))


I may well have heard her do Mandinka at that gig - but I wouldn't
have recognised it. I was just too ****ed off at all her "hey, I'm a
rock star" crap. At least Dolores just stood there and sang rather
well.

And it was Kabul (no, that was last year - '85 was Kuwait).

She has dropped all that 'rock star' crap now. Just recently on a TV
interview she claimed her greatest desire was to be Ireland's female
Christy Moore.

If you don't know who Christy Moore is that will be rather meaningless to
you :))

OK, I will go and find some Christy Moore - always up for something
new.

I've never seen Dolores just stand there at any of the live Cranberries'
concerts I've been to. Would be nice. She is one of the most energetic acts
I ever clapped eyes on. Radio mic in hand and not one inch of the stage left
unexplored. I've always been totally exhausted just watching her romp around
the place. Fit as a fiddle, as we say over here.

I've never been a Cranberries fan as such, and I've certainly never
seen them. Over here, though, she would be as fit as a butcher's dog.
Actually, if she'd tried running around on that pub stage she'd have
ended up behind the bar.

And it was Kabul (no, that was last year - '85 was Kuwait).

This year!! .... 'way down in a hole' ... (that's a song title btw, not by
a Celtic Yelp more an American spit and gravel voice)

Nothing to do with Saddam, then? Looks like Baghdad may be my next
port of call.

I don't know what goes on in recording studios these days
but I heard a chap on the radio say that a lot of automatic
pitch correction goes on for the benefit of tone deaf singers.
He also said that the effect is easy to recognise.


Cher released a song a year or so ago when the pitch corrector effect was
deliberately overdone.

Vocoder. Old bit of kit, much favoured by Joe Zawinul, the world's
most vocoded Austrian wooly hat wearer. The Cher effect is very
underdone, compared with Joe's oeuvre.

ISTR he favoured a Moog Vocoder although I gather he experimented with a
Bode when they were originally released, the Cher track didn't use one of
those :-)
