MIA

Arular and Kala are such treasures

The doc is interesting. It could use an edit but its a compelling watch.

i'm still quite proud of the fact that the first thread about her was started by me, getting her name wrong in the process as there was 0
anywhere about her
mya 'gilang'.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTwH7u0PhOw New old song, "Reload"! um....... wow lol.

Documentary's online now! Gonna watch soon

Loved the documentary, especially the late 90s London stuff.

yeah I didn't get all the way to the end, but the documentary is great (I saw it on Kanopy). Really makes the case for her as a pretty unique and important figure

thanks for the rec, I enjoyed the doc. Some quite candid scenes especially after the super bowl and with Justine Frischmann

I lol'd long and hard when she called giving the finger at the Superbowl "a spiritual gesture"

this thread isn't about that MIA lol

(to begin with)

there are 30-odd threads about M.I.A. and only two or three about MIA, it's not like it's hard to pick one

This thread has been about this M.I.A. for 6 years, I’ll be fucked if I’m scrolling through 30 other threads

All royal families should be abolished and locked up, along with all their dumb medals and titles. But if they have to dole them out, then sure, why not one for MIA. Who looks great there btw.

She always does! State of that fucking Burberry stamp though.

Stamp's a bit much but you're right, she always does :)

this thread isn't about that MIA lol

And yet :)

we created the spinoff thread for the German MIA, preserving the original posts in this thread about her, years ago: MIA aka Michaela Grobelny

hey can a mod add dots to the title so we can finally stop this pedantry every 6 months

I don't see how "MIA dots" is going to help anything

lol

the dots are already MIA

"MIA..."

This thread combing back with powa powa

Is this the thread for M.I.A.? Anyhoo new album OHMNI is out;

https://www.patreon.com/posts/35144818

New song, not new album.

No, this thread is for the German techno DJ/producer. The UK artist is called M.I.A. not MIA.

lol

FFS we repurposed this thread like five years ago and split off a new thread for the German producer back then.

MIA

And here's the spinoff thread that is absolutely booming with posts:

MIA aka Michaela Grobelny

Lol, no thread revive for M.I.A.'s new Christian album? The NY Times hasn't forgotten her:

You couldn’t pay me to listen to that

The review in Pitchfork compared it to - who else? - that other spiritual seeker Alice Coltrane

Call me crazy but… I kinda like this album !

djp otm

I wonder did she sell many of those tin foil hats on her website that time
