Not a fan of swing music? Think again
Stumbled across this crazy site called Music Machinery that uses Python code to turn popular songs into "swing" versions by "taking each beat and time-stretching the first half of each beat while time-shrinking the second half."
I always thought the original Guns N Roses lineup was the best because of the way drummer Stephen Adler swung and gave the band a loose but punchy sound -- particularly on songs like "Sweet Child O' Mine" -- but Adler has nothing on this altered over-the-top version.
"Enter Sandman" and "Money for Nothing" also sound good in their new incarnations, but, to me, "Don't Stop Believin'" is a dud.
This studio gimmickry is the kind of stuff that made Robert "Mutt" Lange famous, although he was less obvious in tweaking Def Leppard rhythms to drive the beat in radio-friendly ways.
