Unerringly, the best bits of a night out are always the parts that shouldn't actually be that fun, like getting ready, or drinking in your flat, or, inevitably and especially, travelling to wherever you're going—anticipation fizzing over like a shaken-up tinny—and acting like a div on public transport.
|
|

|
|
If you're a cop in uniform, shouting your to-go order into a tinny speaker from the driver's seat of your very well-marked police cruiser, you probably half-expect every meal to be served with an unwanted side of spit, soap, or whatever else is on-hand in the kitchen.

"Miles for Mary" takes place in the 1980s, and its conscientious design team anchors the play in time with the appropriate clothing and technological accessories, which include audiocassette tapes, VCR players and, most memorably, a tinny speaker phone by which a housebound teacher on pain killers participates woozily in the meetings.
|
|

|
|

|
|
Instead "Insecure" sneaks in meta commentary on the limits of #MeToo TV through this season's hacky show-within-a-show, a reboot of the fictional 1990s black family sitcom "Kev'yn" that grinds social touch points like Black Lives Matter and Time's Up into topical puns, then pummels them into absurdity with a tinny laugh track.
|

Outfitting some dancer friends in hospital gowns not all that unlike some of Mr. Risso's designs, Mr. Tillett instructed them, as he later wrote in a direct message, to "surrender to gravity, surrender consciousness,'' while a child's music box played a tinny version of Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg's "If I Only Had a Brain.
|
|
"Good Bye, Good Girl" is an irrepressible, neon-lit electro-pop song about a brutal, unsolved murder; "Hokago Sympathy" plays with the muffled roboticism of New York post-punk but still hurries into a glitchy, grinning chorus; and "ROBOT" turns Ikue Sakakibara's tinny 201893s J-pop hit into a drop-heavy and dissociative anthem.
|
|
We've gone from an era of stereo sound — CD players offering far more sonic data and large speaker cones offering deep bass — to an era where we're paying more money for a single speaker offering tinny sound because it's easier to plonk a phone on something that works with our decor than it is to care.

As likely as it is that you're seen a Bose Wave radio or music system in someone's house, the odds are much better that you've seen the commercials or magazine ads sometime over the past 245 years or so, rolled your eyes at how over-the-top the language was, and continued living your tinny-speaker life.
|

In my review of the Aquos Crystal back in 2014, I said this about the phone's Direct Wave Receiver technology (it's own version of the piezoelectric speaker): Calls sounded distorted and more tinny than on other budget Android smartphones like the second-generation Moto G. The Direct Wave Receiver technology didn't improve call clarity when in louder environments, either.
|
|
Maybe it's just that you were braced for the worst, but there's something inexplicably joyful about blasting Bublé on your work computer's tinny speakers, getting wasted on Prosecco from the "Events Cupboard," and having a proper chat with the people you spend 40-plus hours a week with, and whose kids' names you really should remember by now.
|

Our neighbors were too close in London: a rowdy family who hosted BBQs every weekend, complete with screaming children and middle-age-denial garage music blasting from tinny speakers; and a lonesome older lady who we tried to have sympathy for, until she started claiming we were responsible for her gas bills and rifling through our bins at midnight.
|
|
Jamiroquai combined cosmic vagaries with tinny funk and synths—yet after disappearing for about seven years, they sold out an upcoming gig at London's O2 "in 30 seconds," according to … their own PR. It's almost like both this cafe and the band I've tried to embody are both commodities that, despite their shortcomings, we're all inexplicably drawn to, right?
|
|
So would a tinny speaker outside a restaurant piping an instrumental version of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" in the key of G.

There's a tinny yet wooden thump when the sledgehammer connects with the barrel stopper — the "sweet spot" of the bourbon aging process is about eight years, so the barrel's precious cargo has long since calcified the bung to the opening — and as the impact reverberates though the barrel room's dusty floorboards, the anticipation to unlock the old cask only grows.
|
|
I can tell you what it sounded like, how the delirious jet-engine howling above and below was turned tinny and distant and strange by the concrete and Plexiglas that encased the climate-controlled tank; I can tell you about the stadium stirring and shivering as the shared sense of surprise in it started to rise into something like belief.

Though they feel tinny in the film's mix (presumably to slightly eyebrow-raisingly suggest the inauthenticity of Ally's pop career compared with the rich country rock tracks created during her early relationship with Jackson), on the soundtrack album with full-length edits, these songs, any of which could've showed up on The Fame, are just as accomplished as the more traditionally instrumental songs.

One hacker at this year's village, who requested anonymity because he didn't want to tie his research to his day job as a programmer, took a Diebold TSX voting machine — versions of which are in use in at least some areas of 20 states — and turned it into a jukebox that played music from its tinny speakers and a display for an Illuminati GIF he found online.
|
|
It's also why I don't think Apple needs to be as worried about getting a $50 product like the Home Mini or Echo Dot out there, because while Amazon desperately needs a low-friction connection to consumers, Apple doesn't gain as much by putting a tinny speaker into a can that will do even less than what "Hey Siri" on your iPhone could do.
|
|
Given this context, it's not surprising that Louis's music is steeped in solemnity, whether he's nostalgic for an old relationship on "Too Young," or openly grieving the loss of his family on "Two of Us." Unfortunately, Walls feels like a confessional series of diary entries set to drums and tinny acoustic guitar, and while the frank intimacy is a refreshing contrast to, say, Liam, ultimately the album feels lackluster and sonically generic.
|
|
But you think about it in a way that isn't quite thinking, because your mind is overwhelmed by the repetition and the volume, and all you can register, even if you try, is the way that a bass note has started to swell into the track, the way that the loop has turned tinny, notes coming through through an old can, and you half-realize that there's nothing truly hopeful about what you're hearing, at least not in the conventional sense.

That work, a series of 47 images of people and places taken as Alec followed the sweep of the country's second greatest waterway, which meanders and swells from northern Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, remains the visual equivalent of an American songbook: Here is a sofa bed in Louisiana, the ceiling above and walls around it sparkling with lengths of tinny, glittering light bulbs and metallic-shimmery ropes of beads hung thick as kudzu; here is a self-possessed, bouffant-haired lady in Mississippi, fingernails trim and neat, holding a gilt-framed picture of a cloud shaped like an angel.

There was no note nothing only the faint metallic whiff of blood and the tinny smell of internal organs her son's brain her thirty-six-year-old son's brain her thirty-six-year-old son who had torn out of her one August afternoon with the monsoon coming down in unforgiving sheets outside the bungalow and the Indian midwife inscrutable dumb in her foreign language and Clare's ayah all crowding around thirty-one hours for a little head to come out but all tangled up inside and Dr. Higgins despairing too unforeseen complications the child who made the beginning and the end unendurably difficult while her contractions racked her as if there were no end and no end to the deluge outside waters breaking everywhere this child who would almost take her life with him while receiving his.
