I'm excited about it. I hope Christine Aguilera and Britney Spears
follow. I'm sure Madonna will. Bjork already did. U2 might jump on it a
few years from now. Big stars dip into the underground for inspiration,
the underground evolves because of it. My personal feeling is that the
glitchy beat and overused VST effects thing became cliche years ago, and I
can't wait to see it ushered out the door to make way for something truly innovative.
