MUSIC: "Get cracking, get, get cracking!"

You gotta checkout M.I.A.'s new video "Bucky Done Gun" at XL recordings - its hot.


















I love her attitude, style and beats - and really - there ain't much more I can can say.

That said, I was intrigued to learn that she turned Kanye West down on the offer to appear on his latest album "The Late Registration" - now there's confidence for you!

After watching the video again I am now wondering if I should go to Summer Sonic this coming Saturday and see M.I.A., the Roots and Q-tip live in concert. Hmmm, I could practice my new dance moves, its tempting...
