M.I.A – “Jimmy”
M.I.A’s music has grown on me. I always found her interesting and cute. Her music was full of potential, I thought. But I think my senses needed a little training. Her second CD is a classic. “Paper Plane” is one of the strangest gems you will find. People are always disturbed at the gunshots but after a while, as it did with me, you get comfortable with it (which is disturbing in itself).
The “Jimmy” video seems like a half-attempt at parodying Bollywood movies. The other big inspiration is clearly the Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva video. Maybe the Sri Lankan beauty reads TickleBooth!
