Extensive
profile of M.I.A. in the NY Times Sunday Magazine. This one is a bit better than the
ridiculous puff piece on the National a couple weeks ago. Word is that Maya A.
didn't like this piece one little bit.
She doesn't come across as an overall genius, but she certainly is a pop genius. "
Galang" and "
Paper Planes" are two of the best songs of this century.
Sure, those are great songs. It's kind of hard to know how much of the credit goes to them or to Diplo and Switch, the folks responsible for the music. I don't think they're necessarily the best lyrics of the century...
