Rock On

My newest obsession: Manau is a French rap group. They have a CD Panique Celtique which is French words, Celtic music, and rapping. We discovered them in Boston when Liz's friend Sue had it playing in the background as we all sat around talking in her living room.

Now I'm not the biggest fan of rap, because normally it's not music. However, there have been a few rappers who have proved themselves to be good artists in terms of word choice, placement, and rhythm. I'll give them credit for that. But, this music, Manau, is amazing. Maybe because I can't understand the words and therefore I am unable to realize how dumb the lyrics are. I love this. It gets in my head and won't leave. My foot was tapping the bassline of my favorite song (#2) during Freelance today, since we didn't discuss anything of value for my writing career. I wish I knew what the words said, or at least how to pronounce them, so I could sing along.
