MIA - kala

[nomadologist]

i do like jimmy a lot, if only cos i find myself incredibly turned on whenever she says 'achaa'. even that song though, i dont really return to it and like it as much as i did when i first got this album. maybe i overplayed it too much, or maybe theres just nothing much there to return to.

that's what happened for me with arular. i liked it before it became the go-to party album of the year for two years, but only then for about 2 spins and that was it.

To be sure. The problem is that she IS on to a decent enough idea.

Been thinking, maybe the idea would work better as mixtapes than "proper" albums? A lot of the album is retooled from other releases anyway... I was disappointed there was no Piracy Funds Terrorism Vol. 2 or whatever for this release.

I can't seem to find a recording anywhere of the original "Jimmy".. can anyone point me in the right direction?

It was also included in the RAR-file that Zhao linked to on the first page of this thread, though the link is dead now, unfortunately, and I happened to foolishly erase it. Still, someone else in here ought to have it.

no need.. more curious then needing to have a downloaded copy. (interesting that there's the spectrum from having to have a real copy > having to have a downloaded copy > occasional YouTube listen)

Kala's a great record !!

i can see why some people wouldnt have been impressed ie not great singin on mias part, dj/mc show etc but the visuals were great, and rye rye and santogold hyped things up something serious and finished with a nice big 10 min chrimbo paper planes sing along with everyone on stage giving it their own verses befor the song kicked in proper

 

[wonk_vitesse]

i went unexpectedly to the Coronet show, yes it rocked, i wasn't a huge fan of the album but it all sounded much better live with a crowd. Santogold was also really ace. It does make you wonder why there aren't any other big UK mc's, i mean even the male ones have one a bit quiet! there is defo an audience for this future hiphop.

Curious about Rye Rye - any thoughts folks who saw her?

 

[straight]

she wore a little shiny hat and danced about singin shake it to the ground. thats about the height of it

 

[don_quixote]

Does she remind anyone else a bit of Adam Ant? Obviously though, he had better tunes.

YES. and the second elastica album.

if she could come up with lines like adam ant that would be awesome.

kala is a lot better than arular.
