M.I.A. - Sunshowers/20 Dollar - live Lollapalooza 2007 8/3/07 (okeastron)

Back


Despite suffering from a sore throat, M.I.A. (Maya Arulpragasam) powers through "Sunshowers" from her album "Arular" and "20 Dollar ($20)" from her album "Kala" at Lollapalooza 2007 in Grant Park, Chicago, on August 3, 2007. "$20" uses the lyrics to Pixies' "Where Is My Mind" while sampling the melody of New Order's "Blue Monday." Freaky. At the start of the video, she gets in a few sly jabs at American immigration for the snafus that kept her from recording "Kala" in the U.S. and later forced her to cancel shows because they wouldn't grant her a work visa. Also, don't forget to check out my videos of M.I.A.'s concert at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles the following November. (okeastron)
