M.i.a

[Os Cangaceiros]

Anyone like or hate her?

I just started listening to some of her songs recently. Some of them are pretty good. She has a pretty interesting life story, too.

[JimmyJazz]

"Paper Planes" is cool, and it is built on a Clash sample ("Straight to Hell")

I love the gunshot sample.

[bcbm]

Check my sig. Duh.

[Saorsa]

MIA = win. Like PLO, she no surrendo!

[Holden Caulfield]

she is okay,
not really my thang, i my GF is a fan tho

[Djehuti]

I like her, and she's pretty darn hot.

[Incendiarism]

I like her, and she's pretty darn hot.

somebody said i looked like her once and I'm a guy. Not sure if it was a compliment or insult.

[Led Zeppelin]

The song Paper Planes just pissed me off.

[Mujer Libre]

I really like her although I haven't actually listened to anything after Arular. :P Probably something to add to the to-do list.

She gets played a lot at parties around here. And at my work. :P (but then again we play a lot of Dolly Parton at my work. :lol:)

[shorelinetrance]

terrible homogenized pop music.

[Os Cangaceiros]

We can't all listen to Captain Beefheart, you know. :lol:

[shorelinetrance]

We can't all listen to Captain Beefheart, you know. :lol:

you should

[Sasha]

yeah, she is cool, sound politics and i like her music to.
did you know her dad is a prominent Tamil Tiger?

[Pirate Utopian]

We can't all listen to Captain Beefheart, you know. :lol:
Heretic!

MIA is not my thing at all.

[TheWaffleCzar]

Yeah, I love M.I.A. She's pretty cool and quite fucking hot.

[bellyscratch]

Yeah, I love M.I.A. She's pretty cool and quite fucking hot.

Agreed:wub:

[Mujer Libre]

Just to add to this thread- the soundtrack to Danny Boyle's new film Slumdog Millionaire features MIA and A.R. Rahman (one of the best composer's in India) in collaboration.

Possibly the most exciting collaboration in years! Yay!

[brigadista]

i love M.I.A - check out sunshowers

[bawbag]

I quite like that paper planes, I was listening to it for the 1st time in ages the other day actually, she is quite hot

[Comrade Wolfie's Very Nearly Banned Adventures]

pretty funky shizzle she got there

[Pogue]

she's fit and paper planes is good, she's intelligent too

[Intifadah]

Paper planes is good if a bit overplayed now, Galang is still a fucking tune though even if I don't really know what she's talking about in her songs.

'I salt and pepper my mango' :mellow: k, sweet

[TheFutureOfThePublic]

I actually think Paper Planes is good but the Clashes music is too important to sample (they sampled Straight to Hell incase anyone doesnt know)

I loved the movie Slumdog Millionaire. The music was great too. I actually have that entire soundtrack on my computer. On another note, yes M.I.A is pretty cool. I love the song Paper Planes.

[Sarah Palin]

I love M.I.A. I think both of her albums are equally awesome. The fact that she adds politics to music is a breath of fresh air ever since Rage disbanded.

[fiddlesticks]

M.I.A. is awesome :] sunshowers and bird flu are freakin' great songs.

[AlMack]

the bailie funk style tracks like xr2 & bucky done gun are off the chain

[Sarah Palin]

Just watched Slumdog Millionaire (Amazing film) and it was a pleasant surprise to hear her on a bunch of songs all through the movie.

[bellyscratch]

:drool:

^^^ Me when I saw her live

[Manzil]

I love M.I.A. although it's not my usual sort of music... Not that I can think of anything else to really compare her to. Funnily, I seem to recall the gunshots on 'Paper Planes' were censored in the U.S. and replaced with clicking or something - was that true? It would just decimate the attitude of the song.
