I found a new obsession: M. I. A. - and her album Arular. Sri Lankan rapper, bringing punk, bangra, hip-hop together. Amazing.
I'm clearly late to this.
I'll be listening to this album for a while. Rolling Stone reviews this album saying, "M.I.A.'s long-awaited full-length debut, Arular, is every bit as stunning as "Galang": weird, playful, unclassifiable, sexy, brilliantly addictive." No, I don't understand all the lyrics, but the beats are amazing. If you see a cleric in his new Honda Civic listening to loud beats [the windows will be closed, I promise], this is the album in his CD player.
I guess the parts you can't understand are the ones she sings in my language.
Saw her video on the big screen they have out here in Citywalk , LA and I was stoked to see Tamil letters on screen

God is very clear about why we should support Israel: "I will bless those who bless Israel, I will curse those who curse Israel." Genesis 12:3 As Christians, we stand together in strength and love through Christ our Savior. SH

As a Christian, I think the verse is really about Jesus Christ and the Church. I would also note that in Amos, God takes a very dim view of what Israel does....

You may want to give Roots Manuva a listen. Maybe his "Alternately Deep" album.
