M.I.A live in Montreal

Next week, on Tuesday the 21st of September, you’ll be able to catch M.I.A live in Montreal at tthe Metropolis on St-Catherine street. Knowing this crazy little pop-rebel, you’re bound to see everything you wanted to see, with lots of extra fluorescent, home-made street wear, tribal beats and a few political and social messages thrown all together in the mixer-robot called M.I.A.

I just watched her latest video, XXX0, and even though visually it is OK, neither the song nor the visuals come near to Galang: I love the animated stencil tag in the Galang video, of the flying jets and tanks and birds dropping bombs, and everything else about the animation actually:

Now that’s a great video and a great song.
