eamon - fuck it

me and non-posting spizz legend jack cable recently saw that polyphonic ringtone ad on one of the music channels where it's like 'we have the ringtones for "fuck it" and "furb"!' - which, yes, is fairly absurd but then the following exchange occured:

jack: what's the fucking point, it's the same beat!

me: wtf, it's pretty much the same notes but clearly frankee re-recorded her shit!

jack: no way!!!!

me: dude, you spent the last five years at the international college of beats! and you can't hear the difference!?

jack: ....

so let me spell out the differences for heads who care (stop pretending you don't care!): eamon has an expensive keyboard and weak but well programmed drums - the vibe is yummy-smooth. in fact the whole production suggests man-sitting-at-keyboard, an angle eamon chooses not to pursue in the video as he is busy rubbing pepperoni pizza into a girl's face. frankee has tuffer drums and brutal synth stabs. the busier feel brings to mind a group of enthusiastic midi-literate session musicians who's big break is to replay this tune while frankee sasses in front. (her chorus sass still strikes me as a really bizarre re-interpretation of eamon's vocal.)
