The TV links no longer work!
M.I.A. was on the Jimmy Kimmel show last night with Diplo on the decks. I like how Diplo pops his head in at the beginning that was kinda funny. Good stuff. Check it out if you missed it. P.S. This is not gonna be up very long...
M.I.A.: Bucky Done Gun (Kimmel Show)(Video) (Decent Quality)(High Speed Connections Only)
M.I.A.: Bucky Done Gun (Kimmel Show)(Video) (Not So Good Quality)
Also, M.I.A.'s Piracy Funds Terrorism is back online. Link to download it here
The camera work was making me CRAAAAAAZYYYYY. A little Blair Witch, what with all the movement, but interesting performance. Thanks Dave.

Thought it was kind of weak. She's still a very inexperienced performer and her backup dancer/singer is a cute chick but she CAN'T DANCE! Not saying she needs to do a Britney or Janet but they really need the input of a good choregrapher who could hook them up with a few coordinated dancehall moves or something to make their performance a bit more interesting. Also, Bucky Done Gon was a bad song choice for a late night talk show. Even though I like the song, it's way too left-field sounding. Sunshowers would have been better IMHO.

i couldn't stand the camera. someone (maybe from www.okayplayer.com) compared it to the grind on mtv back in the day. i thought that was dead on. i think i was just psyched to see her on tv. kimmel at the end of the show refers to M.I.A. as a group too.
