playing catch up with media and stuff

[cali]

First off some music:

Artist: MIA Album: Arular Genre: Hip/Hop, with heavy electro, and international leanings Recommended Song: Hombre Download: full album

Some things you might want to know about M.I.A.: She was born in Sri Lanka and raised in London. Her dad was a Tamil Freedom fighter and her songs are heavily influenced by both her political background and ethnic identity. She's innovative and her sound is really hard to compare to anyone else's. Um. Lots of hipsters love her. But since I'd probably call myself a hipster if pressed, I don't think that's a bad thing.

Now: some other media:

[ Lance talking about a charity auction for hurrcane relief ] -- mpg, 30mb from pacific_gravity

[ The Brokeback Mountain trailer as aired on CNN ] -- wmv, 6.5mb from hackthis? I think?

Enjoy!

THANK you for pointing me in the direction of the Brokeback Mountain trailer! Holy shit. I make it a point to not see movies I suspect will make me cry, and yet I am so looking forward to this movie. The reviews coming out of Venice and Telluride are fantastic, too. And the trailer, omfg. Gyah. Cannot wait to see this!
