Viva

I was going to create a thread about her. The thing was I think she is so plural that the thread would take me forever to create. OMFG I have so much to talk and hear what others think about M.I.A Not only the songs and visuals but everthing in between. My dad gave me her first album and said I would like it and said she was very interesting not only for her music. From that day on I have being a hard core fan. M.I.A to me is one of those few artists that doesn't matter if you like or not her work/music she is a necessary artist IMO. She is the only artist that talks about really important issues and uses pop, visuals and rap to express her visions of the things wrong in the world we don't see (places like Sri Lanka where her parents were born and she lived during her childhood. Also certain parts of the middle east and the relations between media and governments interests. Like in Bad Girls: do you know what they use to punish boys and womens in Sry Lanka and parts of the middle east? Chains. "The chains hits my chest when I am banging on the desk. My chain hits my chest when I banging on the radio". Also notice she says specifically Cherokee Gasoline in Bad Girls. Guess why? The gasoline is the important part. M.I.A is genius imo. She is quite big in Rio de Janeiro (São Paulo as well but in Rio she is very known) her beats are based a lot in Funk. The frenetic beat that comes from the slums in Rio. Funk is usually also very political or in his poor version sex explicit lyrics. Her life story is very interesting as well. She was born in London moved as a baby with her parents back to Sri Lanka. Her father was one of the founders of a non violent student group against the government. She barelly saw her father when she was groing up in SRy Lanka. Since the police didn't leave her family alone her mom moved back to London with her and her siblings. She grow up in the a refugee area in London. Until today when the midia wants to descredit her they make assumptions she is a terrotist in discuise. The Sry Lanka government has called her out several times. Born Free Is also genius. The fact she used gingers to illustrate the sitiuation was great. Was taken out of youtube and the air in several countries including USA M.I.A doesn't give much interviews too thank god she is clearly not good at it. Looks usually high (I bet she is lol) and sometimes she makes you read between the lines

This is one of the things that annoys me about LBGT. When I say that gay rights get in the way of human rights its horrible things like this my exact point. This is not a matter of Gay rights. This is HUMAN RIGHTS. Its a huge violation of basic human rights. LBGT comes far down the road In my humble opinion.

Queen? Girl there is only one queen and her name is not Lady Caca.

So Legit of you

yes!! Only us girls get the diamond stuff. I dont want diamonds tho they are too conventional and common. By the way lots of people dont use wedding rings.

Gonna clean that cuteness because Barrie is ewwww

I love this car UGH!! (hope is a stick car tho...americans and their authomatic cars....) She looks amazing in that car BARRILESS

When I say Madge is avant garden I mean it. This is going on for a long time. A girls band called Pussy Riot had their members arrested (3 members one is out of jail the others remain). Their "crime" was to sing inside a cathedral asking for god to get rid of Putin. Madonna during MDNA tour constantly protested against their prison and human rights in Russia. Not only in her concert in Moscow but also almost everywhere she went. Was clear that if they did that to a semi famous punk girls band without a care in the world things would get worse day by day. Russia is in a shit economic place right now and a way to control and take away attention from the real problems is to create a distraction. The gays are the distraction to the sex traffic issues. Blows me away the shit that happens there. I saw a documentary in my UNI of a famous brazilian journalist about what is happening and what would happen to gays and womens in Russia (the doc is from 3 years ago). I will see if I can find it on youtube a version with english subtitles. Is bloody sick tbh abd disgusting.

China

Sometimes people assume too much. How do you know that will 18 minutes of babbling? Maybe its like an actual video, with a actual story with people playing parts, having characters. Its what I think it is at least. I mean Lana wouldnt make a video with 18 minutes of monologues...(I hope)

250 songs and Lana choses Body fucking Eletric...oh I can't Can't stand it. Hey at least the perfection that is Gods & Monsters is there with all its holly amazing song grace

It's going to be a female version of Machete. Only with flying albino Jesus, cheap Elvis and MM . OH and of course the pretentious monologues. Robert Rodriguez would be proud.

Anyone also loved the poster?? I dig it. Excited about this!! A mall close by my house has a movie theater only for short movies so maybe they will get Tropico on the circuit.

FIFY

some people seem to have bad reading compreension skills. A person writes one thing but they read another and answer to what they have read not what was writin in the first place. It's interesting tbh.

Post pictures of yourself naked and everyone will stop. Just saying. please?

I know right? it's the best pic ever

Do ypou know what Gaga is really good at? Promoting herself. So in my opinion Gaga laughs at that song while eating popcorn high as shit while writing more crapy songs for the world to hear. Gaga has a sense of humor and also enjoys free press specially with a harmless song that is not a big deal or even offensive to her anyway. Lana can be a little pisss with this leak but Gaga probably doesn't give a shit and thinks "what the fuck I put myself into? those fans are fucking sick. Better hire more security. They are nuts"

CUM TO RIO

Well might be but not on this particular tour since Time 4 fun doesnt makes festivals or concerts in the US. They do in Australia and Japan tho...but not US. Ask an US company to hire Lana lol.. I just dont think she will accept.

Thats what happens when a sub human tries to comunicate with a human using a matrix called computer that apparently refuses itself to reload in the internet universe. Forever complex miss comunications will occur and noises in the communication will be created. Maybe in the future.....

Trash, sarcastic, beautiful images yet artistic. Plus the music is kinda of funny and catchy I think BTD and Paradise would exist in a different form. Every artist, at least they should, grows, changes, evolves. Maybe we wouldn't have the character LDR but we would still have what LDR is.
