when you're burnt out at the end of a tour and you don't want to even listen to music, it's best to chill out for a couple of weeks before announcing the end of your career? but what do i know.

I love how at any given club at any given time almost zero people will know the lyrics to a song with 'gunshot' SFX in it but they will know EXACTLY when the gunshots sound out. Paper Planes is a jam, really love Boyz and Jimmy

i don't know that it proves or disproves anything and it could just mean she'll be the 2008 men without hats, but in re the last four years of snarking about whether she'll "make it," m.i.a. has a top 5 u.s. single as of this week.
― tipsy mothra, Thursday, 14 August 2008 14:56 (fifteen years ago) link
top 5 eh? which track?
― the next grozart, Thursday, 14 August 2008 14:57 (fifteen years ago) link
she really is our Gavin Rossdale

i mean new Gavin
"paper planes." partly attributable to being played on every "pineapple express" tv ad for the last 2 months.

I've only bothered to listen to Kala the whole way through twice. Arula still gets the odd play, though.
― chap, Thursday, 14 August 2008 15:05 (fifteen years ago) link
you mean arugula.
kala is still my almost-4-year-old son's favorite album. his favorite songs keep changing, though. lately it's been "20 dollar" and "hussel."

I can't comprehend only bothering to listen to Kala twice.

also heard paper planes on some olympic filler, maybe one of those "holy shit look at what michael phelps eats!" spots.

Together we made it (you see we did it niggaz!) We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (c'mon) Forever we waited {ha ha!} And they told us we were never gonna get it But we took it on the road (to the riches) on the road (to the ghetto) On the rooooad (and the projects to this bangin instrumental) On the road (ride with me) on the road (we come and get it) On the rooooad (yeah, yeah, yeah!)

Kala sounds GREAT now. I've really come around to it.

I'll give it another shot at some point.

if i want to hear anything, it's just the first three tracks and maybe the paper planes remix w/bun b

The tracks from this that I always play through no matter what:
Bamboo Banger Hussel $20 XR2 Paper Planes
The track I always skip:
Jimmy

i don't like 'The Turn'
― blueski, Thursday, 14 August 2008 15:25 (fifteen years ago) link
I like the queasy vibe of "The Turn" but I don't always want to hear it; when I'm in the mood, though, those quavery tremolo filters on the synths shoot right through me.
― HI DERE, Thursday, 14 August 2008 15:26 (fifteen years ago) link
This is the only song on the album that's any good!
― jaymc, Thursday, 14 August 2008 15:43 (fifteen years ago) link
"Jimmy" is a total chik song. i can tell, i'm a chik. She's smart though, she keeps the guys interested by bringing girls up on stage to dance during live performances.
― myndbloom, Thursday, 14 August 2008 15:52 (fifteen years ago) link
a Frankie Knuckles remix that does something with the Bollywood hook would sound incredible.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 14 August 2008 15:54 (fifteen years ago) link
Jimmy used to bother me a little, but it's really grown on me. Overall, I think this is one of the most perfect albums of the last few years.

i like paper planes and jimmy, but the rest didn't grab me so much.

Weird year for 'internet hype acts hardly anyone in the real world likes'. MIA in the US top five, Wiley and Dizzee both with massive hits in the UK, when did With Every Heartbeat come out again?
There's a four or five-year lead time on these things presumably.

"Jimmy" rules, but I like the original better ("Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja" by Parvati Khan, which is the exact same song without M.I.A. on it). I've yet to figure out if there are other Bollywood tracks out there that are such good catchy disco numbers. Any recommendations?

HANDS UP GUNS OUT REPRESENT THE WORLD TOWN
There is so much awesome sloganeering on this album.
― HI DERE, Thursday, 14 August 2008 16:09 (fifteen years ago) link
that chorus is just a reworked version of a Baltimore club song ("hands up/thumbs down/represent that d-town").
― some dude, Thursday, 14 August 2008 16:14 (fifteen years ago) link
if i want to hear anything, it's just the first three tracks
I'd extend this out to four, but this is def. no Arular

i think that's the reason i don't get into jimmy that much, it just feels jacked.
― Jordan, Thursday, 14 August 2008 16:26 (fifteen years ago) link
I don't get into "Jimmy" because that's the song where her voice is the most irritating.
― HI DERE, Thursday, 14 August 2008 16:33 (fifteen years ago) link
I love it when her voice is straining to hit those notes on the last verse!
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 14 August 2008 16:37 (fifteen years ago) link
A masterpiece, IMO. The only two records better than this are the White Album and Pink Flag.
