They were on the same flight as me to D.C last year... obviously, the sat in first class! I bumped into Fergie after clearing customs. she is TINY.

I think it may well have been - it was a few years ago now. It was at Brixton Academy.

Did Roisin Murphy from Moloko sing with Macy?

I had bridging the gap ages ago and was well pleased with myself for finding this great song-driven hip-hop. Then they must have changed manager or label or something and went all pop chart

Jeez, I find that there's a consistently irritating, bad-ass pantomime vibe about so much of their stuff. I like some of the early tunes, and 'Don't Phunk With My Heart' was catchy in a positive way (for once), but 'My Humps' is just wrong.

But even worse is 'Pump It', with its so-ridiculously-past-its-sell-by-date-it's-farcical 'Pulp Fiction'-for-kids schtick and brainlessly repetitive oinking brass sample trowelled all over the shop...that surely has to be one of the most grindingly, gratingly annoying artifacts in the history of all time.

I'm all for underground acts finding a mainstream pop niche, but the Human League are an example of the right way to do it. BEP, sadly, aren't.

kim was always a major part of the band its just these days its all fergie with a tiny boit of willi.i.am(what a shit name!) with taboo and the other doing(well it appares anyway) doing fuck all.

Its a shame the fealt the need to make lots of money(but fair enough its all about the bling) rather then carry on the path they were on. They used to be something different.
