Justin Bieber’s U Smile at 800 percent slower
Random piece of pop trivia: if you slow Justin Bieber’s horrendous tweeny anthem U Smile down to an eight-hundredth of its original speed, it sounds eerily like an outtake from an Orb recording session. Ambient music has never been so … err … hip. Don’t believe us? Have a listen here.

that Bieber track sounds like it’s been slowed down to one-eighth its original speed … someone’s probably confused “800 percent” with “800 times” … nice effect

The link doesn’t work

I never listened to “Justin Bieber” before, but I really like this. It’s really serious. I kind of think its lovely. It’s the sound of everything slowed down, not just pop music or whatever, it could be someone on the phone, or a dog barking, one of those times when something terrible happens and your perception of time is altered and things become calm and important.
