What's the deal with M.I.A? Everything of hers I've heard has been boring and yet we have 900-post threads about her on ILX.

I never listen to daytime radio 1, but they are currently playing a really crap AOR pop rock song - it's bucket wrenching slop - is it Alanis or the bastard offspring of Heart and Avril?
― djmartian, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 10:37 (fifteen years ago) link
ha it was Avril
― djmartian, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 10:38 (fifteen years ago) link
how do you know what they're playing? maybe it's Sara Borealis
― blueski, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 10:38 (fifteen years ago) link

now they are playing a song that sounds like a bad europop trax with a fake rap and silly umpa pumpa wailing - this is shockingly crap
― djmartian, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 10:44 (fifteen years ago) link
is radio 1 in the daytime always this crap?

Adele 19 British Sea Power Do You Like Rock Music? Burial Untrue Elbow The Seldom Seen Kid Estelle Shine Laura Marling Alas I Cannot Swim Neon Neon Stainless Style Portico Quartet Knee-Deep In The North Sea Rachel Unthank & The Winterset The Bairns Radiohead In Rainbows Robert Plant & Alison Krauss Raising Sand The Last Shadow Puppets The Age Of The Understatement
Absence of Portishead or Edwyn Collins surprises me. Smart money has to be on Radiohead or Plant & Krauss - can't see everyone on the panel (not that I know who they are) signing up to Burial unfortunately.
