M.I.A. :: Paper Planes

Lately I've been totally addicted to M.I.A; it may be the summer, and mostly I've been listening to Arular, but I can't get enough of "Paper Planes". It may be the gunshots, it may be the cash register, or it may be the line about having "more records than the KGB", but something about M.I.A.'s third world empowerment rap is grabbing me by the throat.

Also? "Maya" Arulpragasam is dreamy, and it's refreshing to hear someone sing/rap about actual real issues and not just the superficial or self absorbed nonsense that has come to characterize "pop" music.

Anyway, not to get too into it, but here is the vidoe for "Paper Planes". Enjoy!
