Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

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.

Are you ready to be strong?

Is anyone here a fan of M.I.A.? I am currently obsessed with her.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I've read so much more about her than I've heard. (There were a number of articles about her in the Voice, including a whole Christgau column, mostly dealing with her connections to the guerilla warfare over thataway)

Raises hand.

Looks like she's on Conan this Friday night.

The Tamil Tigers.

Not the Detroit ones.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Not the Detroit ones.

They're "gorillas", not "guerillas".

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

M.I.A.'s "Galang" is the free song on iTunes this week, so go git it!

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

I really dig her CD. I picked it up after reading so much about her, and was pleasantly surprised at how much I like it.

My favorite is "10 Dollar."

Michael Jackson has some serious competition in the I-don't-understand-why-everybody-thinks-I'm-a-freak celebrity-defendant sweepstakes. Will Phil get sued by Matt Groening, too? My favorite comment: "he doesn't seem so crazy now, more hip, and possibly from brooklyn."
