"Pastor Dave, I have learned of a new form of music out there that the
kids are listening to."
"Is it evil?"
"Some of it. Groups such as 'Board of Canada' and 'Venetian Snares'
regularly use samples of children laughing, and name songs things like,
'Befriend a Childkiller'."
"Oh, Lord in Heaven! How did this slip by me?"
"Well, it's largely an experimental, electronic type of music... I don't
think any of our music-droids are trained in the kind of
sound-manipulation---"
"More like MIND manipulation! Someone re-hire that Circle of Dust guy!
Pay him TWICE what 7-11 is paying him!! We must stop this experimental
electronic music by copying their experimental techniques and get our
youth groups back to singing about Jesus, not these 'Child-killers'!"
"Well, one big problem is that there aren't really any lyrics in this type
of music, sir. We don't have a way to spread the Good Word without any
lyrics..."
"Well, you said that Boards of Child-Killers group had samples of children
laughing, right?"
"Um.. yes sir..."
"Well, dad-blame it, get some samples of children's testimonials about how
they found Jesus!!"
"Yes! Good idea, sir! Excellent! We can one of our musicians use
samples of people praising God, and then put them over experimental
elements such as 'break beat' and 'vocoder'!"
"I don't know what that stuff is, but let's just make sure that the words
are easy to hear. We don't want to bury the message in a bunch of
electronic mush."
