I've go...OH MY GOD PAPER PLANES BY MIA IS AWESOME! I've got David hyped on it now too. <BR/><BR/>That song is such a great statement, most people don't understand it, they hear the gunshots and think its some silly song condoning violence or something. But it isn't at all. I've read several interviews with MIA and shes said the song is basically a tounge in cheek reference to racial and social profiling. Like people see immigrants and assume they are up to no good, want to rob them, kill them, etc...when most of them are just trying to live happy lives like anyone else. So she just decided to make a song that says "yea, i want to rob you, i make fake passports, i'm a criminal...sure..."<BR/><BR/>She's performed it on late night talk shows and they;ve made her edit out the gunshots! How lame!<BR/><BR/>Get both her albums, Kala and Arular. The beats are great and her perspective on world issues is really interesting.jHohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09846400326118020349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12243869.post-15860083200249029232008-06-12T13:11:00.000-07:002008-06-12T13:11:00.000-07:00fun list of songs...sounds like a good mix CD.fun list of songs...sounds like a good mix CD.RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11340006144797496514noreply@blogger.com
