MIA

and the ones on Arular are kind of perfect imo

lol "skip" -- untick moar liek

I usually skip "Banana Skit", "Pull Up The People" and "Bucky Done Gun" altogether and play directly from "Fire Fire"/"Sunshowers" (depending on which version of the CD I'm playing); the only reason I skip "Banana Skit" is because it's easier to just start playing from track 4 since I don't really like the first two "real" tracks all that much.

I only like reviewing skits. I skip the songs.

there should be Greatest Skits comps

hah. love that post.

I've played "Born Free" about a bazillion times now and I still like it a lot

Only heard it the once but I can summon up the chorus in my head just like that = sign of a good pop song. (Seriously.)

That J-Zone post is hilarious. Reading ludicrously well-informed hip hop heads cracking wise about ridiculous lyrics/skits is one of my favourite things.

Re: skits, best ever is TLC's Ho Remover off Ooh... On the TLC Tip.

i'm partial to the madd rapper one on life after death

I used to be obsessed with Snoop's Classroom Intro and the one on The Predator about winning the wet T-shirt contest. I suspect 95% of all skits end with either (a) swearing, (b) gunshots or (c) both. There's a comforting routine to them - I don't really demand originality in the skit arena.

snoop classroom skit took 2nd in my mental rolodex.

okay after actually reading this thread, if whiney going on & on about a fucking skit is what got him pushed off the SB cliff, then it was prob warranted

WGW was suggest-banned? yikes.

GOOD SONG, BTW.

thank fuck. he's a dull cunt.

I like Born Free but mostly it makes me want to listen to Suicide.

i do not get this

he was posting about album reviews from 2005, and getting all pissed off, and no one even cared other than him

i like whiney but dude really, really needs to take it easy

i couldnt even figure out what he was mad about

was he mad that the skit existed or what

i really don't see how that's worse than any of the other antics that go on on our beloved board

i think he was mad that reviewers did not discuss the issues with the skit (whatever they were--i've never heard it) which is basically insane

ok i just listened to skit in question and i'd just like to say:

It's obviously an English lesson you fucking moron.

if people really SB'd him for that--which, yeah, we don't know--they have really thin skins

banana peel thin

hahahaha

Finally got around to listening to this and it's about as revolutionary as a year-old issue of Maximum Rock & Roll

It reminds of Children of Men crossed with this and cranked to 11:

Minus the humor, obviously.

to get back on topic for a minute, mia from germany has a ustream channel w/ a new dj set every week.

mya (mya harrison) > mia (michaela grobelny) > m.i.a. (maya arulpragalsam) > mia (german indie band)

Lex OFFTM, the mnml German MIA is so dull.

That isn't helping your case. She always seems a bit ploddy and more interested in chilly atmospherics at the expense of a decent groove.

she is an ~ice queen~

Yeah but give me an explosion like 'Boyz' or 'Galang' over ice queens any day. And if it's ice queens you want then Chloe >>>>>>>> MIA.

guess soft cell dude really loves that song

I don't see this campaign going well for MIA. Her pop up ads of a running red head exploding and their blood spelling her name? Revolutionary stuff...

she's actually tapping into ppl's latent hatred of gingers, I think she'll do just fine

it's like the nathan barley graphic of the vietnamese guy being shot in the head

what sites are those pop ups on?

Her pop up ads of a running red head exploding and their blood spelling her name?

wait waht
