I wouldn't want to live in a world where my primary musical association with "Tequila" was with some group called Terrorvision who look like that and not with, you know, the Champs.

Good call, but that one feels even more deserved than some of the others.

I think the first album of my grandparents I absconded with 3 decades ago was the 'Boots' Randolph "Tequila".

not feeling the video - there's no reason for it to be 9 minutes long ans for all the viscera there's a pointlessness to the entire concept
It's a few months too late, but MIA was trying to say that she's with Coco.

Now that I think about it, wasn't there a South Park episode about this?

actually, i think the video fits in well with m.i.a.'s work. it's got that ominous vibe and -- here's the key -- it's vaguely political. i love her lyrics, but you can't really tell where she's coming from with them, other than the fact that she's an "underground revolutionary."
and i wasn't kidding about the video being deeply unsettling (i don't think i really had chest pains over it). but i liked it -- the video played with my point-of-view and challenged my sympathies, all of which is something that good music and videos can do.
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 26 April 2010 21:08 (fourteen years ago) link
eh the video is p. much one-note provocation that doesn't actually say anything.

rly? i wasn't glued to the screen, but it was kind of saying The Man is bad, although the fact that he was rounding up redheads is kind of quirky. it definitely has a 'punishment park' vibe, and 'punishment park' is didactic, hectoring shit.

for the first few seconds when it started, i figured we were seeing soldiers either invading a terrorist cell, or the cradle of a drug empire, or in the middle of a dangerous war zone, and i sympathized with how dangerous a job they have. after that, everything obv. changed. but those first few seconds, paired against the rest of the video were jarring and left an impression on me.

Kudos for spotting the Punishment Park "homage" guys, but you do know that the average MIA fan in 2010 will have absolutely no frame of reference for that movie, right?
― he's always been a bit of an anti-climb Max (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 26 April 2010 21:19 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, the redhead thing was strange. i think i spotted mich hucknall among those rounded up.

idk, over-educated cinephiles are probably a core part of her audience
you're right that since it's from m.i.a., i should have assumed something like what unfolded.
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 26 April 2010 21:21 (fourteen years ago) link
would think MIA fans in 2010 are more likely to have heard about or seen Punishment Park than even collegiate music fans in earlier eras, considering no studio would put it out and the film was released on dvd in 2005.

gotta say, I liked the song better in the video, when it got all dubby and then came back strong. that was cool.
Still wish I hadn't watched it though.
