I was just reading that she's actually working on a new album and isn't reiring, so hopefully that's true.

I have to say that after listening to her a bit more, I've grown more fond of her music. I actually went out and bought Kala today because it was only $9.99 at Best Buy. I'm liking it. Jimmy's a really good song, and I don't think Boyz is as bad as I used to. I tend to eventually end up liking the songs that I used to despise.

I cannot believe Paper Planes is now #2 on iTunes though! It's all because it was on the trailer to that movie Pineapple Express. The movie looks moronic to me, but I'm glad they're using the song in it.

Yay! She's not retiring! Thanks for the info, Bondingo . And I'm glad you're starting to like her more. All hail M.I.A.!!! Just kidding.... And yeah, LOL, I'll probably go see Pineapple Express just because Paper Planes was in the trailers.

I must say, I'm rather excited for this new album. How she will evolve her sound from Arular to Kala, from Kala to ??? I'm not sure, but one thing's certain. I can't wait, and I'm sure it'll be f'ing fantastic.

EDIT: I'm now a WHATEVER initiate!

I had a crush on someone and that person really liked M.I.A. so that is how I was introduced to her and before 'Kala' came out, but I was clubbing the first time in L.A. last year and 'Boyz' came on, and I instantly liked it so that song plus 'Bamboo Banga' got me into her, then I backtracked to her first album realizing I already knew her from the song 'Galang' which I liked. Needless to say, I like all her songs except the extra tracks from the Japan version of 'Kala' which I have. I skip those.

But "What I Got" is better than a lot of tracks that made it onto the international version!

I can understand your dislike of "Big Branch" and "Far Far," though...

[cosmeticmusic]

eh...wha?! Big Branch is awesome! Never mind . I'll be nice and respect your opinion.

EDIT: I just listened to Far Far for the first time. It's not THAT bad. Sounds a lot like a more refined Sunshowers.

my friend showed me the video for Jimmy when it came out and I've been a fan ever since. Despite people thinking she's gone "mainstream" or wutev I'm glad she's getting more attention & fame w/Paper Planes being featured in Pineapple Express.

[aloopy]

Its just a shame that Paper Planes was only used in the trailer and not in the actual movie. That would have been epic, but it was still an epic movie

M.I.A. is on the cover of SPIN magazine this month.
I actually only bought it because there's a review of the Killers new album inside, but the article on her is good too
Here's a pic of the cover.
