Hurray For The Goddamned Idiot!
The highest as the lowest form of criticism is a mode of autobiography.

But you should file this under Fiction.
Late once again, I got hip to RED via Cosmic Rock (Read That Muthafuckin blog!!) and I mustve listnd ta this jont a dozen times today.
“The Man Without The Machine”:
The remix. Dam-Funk adds the machine:
Preview: “Ghost Ride The Hips”
Red has been supported by LA art gal HVW8 (their press release). They collaborated with Stones Throw Records to bring “I Should Tell Ya Momma” out on 7ʺ vinyl.
Media has gotten wise: Gross style mag Fader praised him. Faith-Ann Young wrote about Red on Justin Timberlake’s website. Her piece referenced Auto-tune. Mr. Unter of Cosmic Rock wdnt hear it cuz he has an ax to grind with the Auto-tune haters. To my ear, the way Red bends pitches is reminiscent of the way some are using that technology. His voice replicates all kinds of sounds usually made with computers, hence the “Man Without The Machine” moniker; that’s what some people find interesting about him. What I find interesting about him number one is that he is simply and without a doubt a dope artist. Number two, I havnt heard evrything but I’ve never heard anything like this. You can identify many influences but the result is unique. Number three he sounds like Captain Beefheart. #4 his bass notes sound like the steel rumbling when some dork drives by bumpin they system too loud. I wd hate t see an artist like this reduced to fodder for th dumbass debate over auto tunes.
