Didn't some of you decide last year on that ilX GaGa thread that she was old Belgian new beat?
Well, somebody decided that -- wasn't me, or anybody whose name I recogized at the time -- and I liked the idea, but had no idea whether they were right or wrong about the issue. I'd guess, though, that Belgian new beat (inasmuch as I've heard it) and bosh (at least in the Scooter sense) are probably not all that far apart in the first place (though maybe it's mostly just the uber-Aryan Sprocket-rap vocal style those two have in common, I dunno. Which also makes me wonder how much, say, Real McCoy or Rammstein songs that have hit in the States fit into the bosh equation.) (Okay, Real McCoy were early. And I'm joking about Rammstein. I think.)
