Galang - M.I.A

A more recent jam, this hot track came out in 2003. When I first caught wind of it, it was before the video hit the states, and I actually thought she was kind of lame. The way she jumps around, like a little girl. That wasn't until I finally realized how awesome M.I.A was.

You should definitely read her Wikipedia page, but I can provide you with one fun fact about this video, and M.I.A. (Maya to her friends): all the spray-painted backgrounds in this video were made by M.I.A. herself. She was also the video's art director. It seems she was a film and video maker first, then an artist, and then the jamster we all know and love. These days, it's as if M.I.A. is dropping jams the way you and I read the paper.

Put this on in the car, and be prepared to move ya rump out the seat.


btdubs... M.I.A. is my friend on MySpace: the only professional musician I will allow as my friend. Make note of this...
