Do all their songs involve money?
I'm not so sure about money per se, but her music is very political.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Do all their songs involve money? My "No Lawyers or Guns" mix is starting to seem like it's all M.I.A. all the time.
Hee. It's a she, not a they. Like Fred says, her music is very political, and there are a lot of guns. Sometimes money. I'm not as familiar with "20 Dollar," but it's on the new album, I think. "10 Dollar," the one I know, was on Arular.
True, although, like 16, certain numbers just seem to come up a lot.
Yeah, but with "16 Military Wives," you get a bonus 32.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
What, no ELO love? I love "10538 Overture". It's on my Life on Mars soundtrack -- can't remember when they used it on the show though.
"156" by Mew is gooooorgeous.
"2080" by Yeasayer. One of my favourite songs from last year. (Hey, that rhymes!)
"3000 Flowers", Destroyer.
"Seventy-Four, Seventy-Five" by Shearwater.
"Three Little Words" by Da Vinci's Notebook makes me snorfle.
"Four Leaf Clover", Old 97's.
"Four Long Days", Voxtrot.
"Sixteen Blue", The Replacements.
"5:55", Charlotte Gainsbourg.

Has no one yet mentioned all the Multiplication Rock stuff?

That sounds a lot like a dumb publicity stunt. I mean, Lydon was in a band with Jah Wobble during the years of English punk's flirtation with the racist side of skinhead culture.
I dunno, I just think Lydon's completely clueless. I remember an interview he did on Aussie TV in the late 80s, where he basically called Nelson Mandela nothing more than a terrorist, and was appalled at all the efforts to free him from prison. Unfortunately, he wasn't taking the piss, or attempting to be ornery; he was totally serious. It was around that time I stopped taking much notice of him.

How do you know he wasn't taking the piss? He tends to take it pretty far sometimes. Many years ago, he did a live interview at my radio station and was a complete jerk. The DJ went with it and anyone listening would've thought he was completely serious. Sure enough, as soon as it was over and he was off mic, he became very friendly and was joking about the whole thing.

He's also a man who speaks his mind. The interview happened 20 years ago, and I certainly believe he believed what he was saying. Technically, he wasn't incorrect; the ANC were labelled a terrorist organisation. However, considering they were fighting to overthrow a vicious, racist system of government condemned by the majority of the rest of the world, they were hardly comparable to the Red Brigade, or Al Quaeda.
