M.I.A. nominated for Record of The Year
Posted by Wade Tatangelo on Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 4:16 PM
I usually don't give a shit about the Grammys but must admit I was thrilled to find this email in my inbox this morning. I have been gushing about M.I.A. for some time and it seems mainstream audiences didn't get around to her killer, genre-hopping, world-flavored, lady gangsta single "Paper Planes," and the equally awesome album Kala, until the song was used recently in the Pineapple Express trailer. Perhaps exposure on the Grammys broadcast — somebody still watches, right? — will increase her profile. M.I.A. is one of the most exciting and brilliant young artists on the global stage. She should be playing arena not tiny little sold-out club on Frenchmen Street, which was the case this year at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
Here's my review of Kala, which topped my Top 10 Albums of 2007 tally.
"Paper Planes" went No. 1 on my Top 30 Songs of 2007 list.
Here's the press release:

Big fan of Kala as well.. I got to see M.I.A. at ACL fest two years ago.. I didnt know much of her material at that time and she us all away - great show.. Speaking of 2007, did you ever get to give Panda Bear's "Person Pitch" a good listen?

When you desire victory as badly as you wished the air, then you're going to get it. That's the secret to achievements. Do you feel so? Posed By AJF 12
If you are willing to buy real estate, you would have to get the mortgage loans. Furthermore, my sister all the time uses a student loan, which is the most fast.
