MIA

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.

xpost

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

dan otm of course

can someone explain 2 me the difference between hipster runoff & alt report

i think so? but i'm not going to check

More bands should release stand-alone singles that don't end up on the album, and by "more bands" I mean "M.I.A." This would be real effective as just some agit-bomb dropped in advance of a disc that doesn't sound at all like this.

is down like your internet connection not on the new album? i liked that.

JZ is shitting himself for not being able to do his own Born Free

jay z

shd be some blogworthy invective in the hys before long

Speaking to TMZ.com, he said: 'The video is definitely not for kids - I haven't even seen the full video myself - but, for all the adults and people in different countries who are doing that (killing people) in real life... doing the genocides to whatever - Italians, Africans, wherever it's from, it's still genocide.'

'So it's (the video) showing violence to end violence.'

Man, this video wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be given the reactions.

Yeah, the violence was so atmospheric that it didn't really read as violence.

as in wrt violence or generally xp?

the video is alright, of course it's kinda stupid but nothing worth hyperventilating over....
