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.

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.

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

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.

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.'
― max, Saturday, 1 May 2010 16:03 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

I'll admit it's pretty shallow, but I'm a redhead, tho, so it hit a little closer to home. Made me want to stop this injustice that's being carried out in Los Angeles.

i kinda hate mia's music, and all the discussion around her music. i know this is a challop & largely uninteresting, but the noise around her stuff, the amusicality of much of it, the main appeal for so many ppl being lame one-track jacks of like 'sunshowers' and 'straight to hell' -- sorry yall, i dont care for this much at all.

i remember being in this cafe around '05 & some song was playing -- i think it was like ltrimm or something -- & this dude comes up & asks the chick behind the counter if its MIA. shes like '...no...' not sure what an MIA is, and her boyfriend is there too, big dude in braids & rocawear, and this kid is self-consciously trying to explain to both of them why MIA is worthwhile & it was like such the epitome of this shit to me, not that ppl dont have legit reasons but he just struggled so disappointingly in trying to explain her appeal, like "but like ... the beats ... are really dope...uhhhh"

mia is overrated, but i gotta find it a little ironic to hear hip-hop junkies complaining about hype, "amusicality" and the popularity of "lame one-track jacks"
