M.I.A. - Paper Planes (MP3)
It's hard for me to articulate how much I love this song. M.I.A. is clearly runnin' sh*t in '07. Visa issues and Homeland Security blacklists are no obstacle for her. The song cleverly cribs a riff from The Clash's "
Straight to Hell" (M.I.A. even alludes to it in the the 2nd verse) to evoke a familiar badass tone. Other than that, the song is quite unlike anything I've heard before. It's so fun and innocent until the gunshots ring in your ears. "All I wanna do is *BANG BANG BANG BANG!* And *KKKAAAA CHING!* And take your money."
M.I.A. - Jimmy (video)
This is a fun video fusing Hindu imagery with multicolored dancing LEDs and standard cheesy R&B fare.
The Chemical Brothers feat. Fatlip - The Salmon Dance (video)
This is the perfect video for this fun and cheesy floor-filler. It's like Discovery Channel and Finding Nemo on crack! And don't miss the ending.
Don't forget to order Kala, or you're really missing out!
