Get crackin' get get crackin'
I'll admit, I had my apprehensions about that girl called M.I.A. (aka Maya Arulpragasam). I first heard "Galang" months ago and couldn't understand what the hell she was saying. But I'm old enough to know not to judge someone by first impressions and now I can't get enough of her album, Arular. Some speak of its political content or how interesting the woman is. Others just flat out hate it. I just like how it comes together and in the end, how it sounds. I've been listening to the CD all freakin' week, I can't get enough of this woman. It's kitchy. It's sometimes obnoxious. It reminds me of old skool Nintendo. It makes me want to shake, shake, shake it.
MP3 of the week, M.I.A.'s "Bucky Done Gone" from Arular
i fucking hate her. seriously. like ive never had such a negative reaction to a sound in my life.
how can two such polar opposite tastes be friends?

Hahaha. I was going to mention how you asked me if I was playing her in the car just to spite you.
Friends forever!

If Soraya has never had such a negative reaction to a sound in her life... you know it's bad.

No I don't think so. If Soraya says something positive THEN you know it's "good." But judging on her taste in men, (aside from Andrew,) that's not always true.
