Thank you so much
symphonic_dame for giving me the heads up about M.I.A. performing on The Grammys. I generally watch the Grammys but intended on skipping out this year to watch Desperate Housewives. Luckily I was able to watch the show without missing anything and catch "Swagger Like Us" during a commercial break. I fucking adore M.I.A. but you should all know that by now. I am not so fond of T.I. but the fact that KanYe is there cancels that out. Lil Wayne is just comical as always. (yeeeeah!)

I remember the first time I heard this song (It was on someone's phone so I didn't catch KanYe's part until I downloaded the song later) I just thought it was M.I.A. abuse but I must say this performance was epic. Her due date was scheduled to be Grammy night. How cool would it be if her kid is born on my birthday though?
Someone posted a link to The Killers' video "Spaceman" citing it's similarty to Velvet Goldmine's Maxwell Demon. Substitute blue for red and add some peculiar sportsmanlike padding and they have a valid point:

P.P.S. Time for an M.I.A. picspam!
