How To Turn Google Translate Into Google Beatbox. For reasons inexplicable, a “Today I Learned” thread on Reddit has turned into a treatise on how to make Google Translate beatbox for you, among other things. It must have taken some intense experimentation for Redditor Harrichr to get here but he somehow stumbled upon the following combination of steps. 1) Go to Google Translate 2) Set the translator to translate German to German 3) Copy + paste the following into the translate box: pv zk pv pv zk pv zk kz zk pv pv pv zk pv zk zk pzk pzk pvzkpkzvpvzk kkkkkk bsch 4) Click “listen” 5) Be amazed :) Since the original post both the thread and meme have expanded into slight tweaks and variations, including Technocopter, Helicopter and Dubstep. YCombinator user iamdave actually posted a guide to making your own beats: zk = suspended cymbal bschk = snare pv = brush bk = bass tk = flam1 vk = roll tap kt = flam2 kttp = flam tap krp = hi hat tap pv = short roll th = better hi hat thp, ds = instant rimshot.

Pitchfork. Best New Tracks. Let's put aside the irony of Jeremih releasing a song called "Impatient" and just appreciate the fact that Late Nights is finally here. The album is as faithful to its 2012 namesake mixtape as anyone could hope for after three years, and "Impatient" is the glimmer in its bloodshot eye. London on da Track's beat is as sheer and flowy as anything on the original Late Nights, and it captures the same glowing mood, highlighting Jeremih's voice without distracting from it. "Impatient" is so quiet that you barely notice it creeping up on you. Jeremih's vocal performance is a master class in, well, patience. Jeremih is one of R&B's most engaging stars because he knows about restraint, about when to let the notes go and when to hold them.
