Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music?


I saw the Black Eyed Peas in PA last night and all I can say is WOW. The whole production was over the top with a futuristic Science Fiction vibe. The music was like no other with so many influences its hard to classify as any one style.
The bottom end literally moved my hair and clothes.
The audience was a wide variety of fans. Many parents brought their children, 10,11 years old. The crowd was white, black, Asian, young, old (me) and happy.
I recommend you go see this show when the opportunity presents itself. It is history in the making.

Yech. I never heard of these folks so I listened to a clip on youtube. I guess that if vacuous tawdry consumerism had a sound it would be like that. I hope you all know what you are getting yourself into.
Rap has rhythm but ignores melody and harmony. That would be alright if it was done in an interesting or sophisticated way, but to me it just comes off as an ignorant attempt at poetry done by someone with a low IQ. I would venture to guess the same about the audience, with notable exceptions of course.
Mapman: yes, and I am a huge fan of minimalism, for example. However the aforementioned commercial crap posits no interesting or profound qualities in the wake of the absence of traditional misical elements.

Always a pleasure MM
