Yaay, welcome home! Did you see any month-old movies? lol
I never got into M.I.A. although I've heard a few of her older songs. I always thought Paper Planes was catchy but pretty overrated. Didn't she "quit the music business" awhile ago or something, or was that just a stab at people who only liked her because of Paper Planes?
lol yes actually! i watched the remake of death at a funeral with my brothers, which i hated. it was literally all the same jokes, just made crappier and more obvious. what made it worse was that my brothers loved it, but hated the original when i first showed it to them years ago. grrr
lol m.i.a. says a lot of contradictory things in her interviews. it's part of why i love her. she's fallible, like everybody, and because she's put herself up as this self-assured person, it stands out more when she says something that goes against her actions. idk i like her bitchy public persona. it goes with her music. i liked paper planes, but i really didn't like that it developed its own fanbase, and all those people basically think any song she makes that isn't like that is a failure, since most of her music isn't like that at all. like, paper planes is a completely different tone from the rest of the kala album. anyway, yeah. that song did more harm than good imo
ps. nice mad men icon! need to get me some of those
I secretly want Pete and Peggy to end up together, lol. I love how on and off bitchy they are to each other. Where are you at in the series? I'm halfway through s3 atm, yay almost done!
Does M.I.A.'s music learn more towards hip-hop, or electronica? idk she's so hard to pin down and I dunno if I should start listening to her or not haha. I like how ballsy she is though. I need new music so badly.
i am actively hoping for pete and peggy action like all the time, lol. although over time i've grown to not find pete's wife that annoying anymore, and i hope she manages to find a way out of that marriage first so she doesn't get hurt. i'm actually done with the entire series! i'm now so excited for season four, it's ridiculous.
i'd say m.i.a. is a little more techno than hip hop. she does rap, but it's not in a really hip hoppy way, so i don't think that would be an accurate categorization. definitely give her a go though, no harm in that. if you're looking for new music to listen to, have you heard of santogold? or janelle monae? neither of them are hip hop, and both are amaaazing. give them a try :)
