Who's got her album? For those who haven't heard about her, she's a Brit, originally from Sri Lanka. Her father is part of the Tigers, a revolutionary group there. From what I heard, her music is a weird mix of rap, dance hall, garage and idm. And she looks like a sexy tigress And her album got very good reviews, as you can see:

Otoh, she can't dance. Its quite funny, really. In fact, her whole act lacks polish. But that's part of her charm

No its not bad actually. I might buy it. But if you're used to top 40 stations, I realize M.I.A may sound like weird ****, or maybe even crap. I've been listening to weird **** for a long, long time. You should probably listen to more weird ****, to break the spell.

I feel bad for you man.

I listen to heavy, punk, and classic rock, classical music, some oddball songs from the 70s and 80s, and stuff like Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennet, etc. I also listen to the occasional rap song, usually Eminem, 50 Cent, or Tupac Shakur.

M.I.A. sounds like a car crash.

edit: like that Madonna song where she tries to rap.

Weberns site isnt working properly, the music they have just leads to broken links.

And I cant find music for either of them on Dell Jukebox.


Im listening to Fefe Dobson right now, I love some womens voices, they just melt me.

Its all good stuff, but nothing experimental here. Now I understand why you're not receptive to her music. Mind you, I haven't made my final verdict yet. I'm just saying that the samples I listened to are strangely appealing.

It's not that weird. It sounds to me like fairly derivative garage with more Sri Lanka and less polish. I would be unsurprised if this or something similar was heavily played on top 40 stations in the UK. (Which is why I avoid them)

I know that,

but I tried to put myself in Space's shoes when I wrote that.

Hell, it even rhymes

It might sound a bit weird to someone who never listens to electronic music.

Okay, I'm curious now. Any place where I can listen to some samples?

Ive listened to Techno. MIA is a car crash, with screeching metal breaking glass and some crazy lady screaming about her dog.

It has a certain charm but I think that it is one of those albums you listen to two or three times and then you forget about it. I have a lot of those ;(

If it's anything like rap, it's probably not worth listening to.

But we need pictures to evaluate sexy tigress looks!

She's pretty, but she lacks polish, with that Hermione Granger hair. But that's part of her charm If she was in the States, producers would probably insist on a make-over.
