Anyone listening to M.I.A.?
Got the Arular album from Amazon.com (ironic) and can't stop listening to it. It's so insanely catchy and hypnotic! She is playing in Chicago next week with LCD Soundsystem and I'm contemplating making a road trip to the show.
Just curious if anyone else is into this - I can see her being popular at some point.

I do find myself listening to Arular more than I thought I would, but I heard she was severly lacking live. She was on Jimmy Kimmel last week and didn't look good either.

I recently read a review (in the Washington Post) of her live gig at Coachella and they said it was the defining set of the weekend. I just bought a tix to see her and LCD Soundsystem next month and hope she doesn't dissapoint.

I was listening to "Arular" with my wife last week and we both commented how we actually kind of do like hiphop when you take out most of the cheesy B.E.T. qualities to it. LOVE this album.
