Actually M.I.A.'s dad wasn't a Tamil Tiger; but he was in a revolutionar group that was associated w/ the TT.
(Just edited a story about her this week.)
Wait. People? She eats people? 'To Serve Man.' It's 'To Serve Man' all over again.

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.

David, do you know about the T. Rex DVD/film? Don't know if the 5/16 release date was just the UK, but Amazon says the DVD will come out on 6/7 (or 7/6 to the non-Yanks.) I'm guessing you'll want to see it on a big screen and get the DVD for all the extras.

Born to Boogie? Yeah, they had a feature on it in the recent Mojo. I'm very curious about it. In other glam news, I'm also curious about retro glam band The Foxx.
Look! She's all piratical!

In the Things that will be amusing to about 4 people around here department: a friend of mine, after going to the VNV Nation show last night, has taken to calling them VNV Music Factory.

That's awesome, Jilli. Did your friend see anyone wearing a SimRonan shirt?
Edit: I'm sure nobody else here will get it, but, for those interested, the joke is that Ronan is the lead singer/lyricist/programmer/monkey boy for VNV Nation, who are iconic in the dance goth/EBM scene. SimRonan is . . . Well, just kind of is.

Huh. Apparently White Stripes are going to be in concert here in a few weeks. With Megadeth.

Thought Jon might get a kick out of this. Nerve.com's current edition of its feature "Sex Advice from..." features accordion players.
Nerve: Is there a type of girl that goes for accordion players?
Michael Hearst (One Ring Zero): It's funny, because I also play theremin. More girls seem to be into the theremin and go, "Oh, that's sexy" after a show than when I'm playing claviola or accordion.

Thanks Joe. I'll have to pass that on to The Pee Wee Fist accordion player...
