hands up! guns out! representin' the world town

It took a lot of booing from the crowd, but after a 3 and a half hour wait the crowd at T5, (Terminal 5) finally got what they wanted. Through the first 3 songs or so there would be an initial "HURRAAAY!" and then almost dead silence. If the bass wasn't bumping ("treble"y so) the place would have been cricket heaven.

However, when M.I.A asked the crowd to join her on stage, everyone went NUTS. It was a mediocre rush to the stage, but after some kids realized she wasn't kidding it was a MADHOUSE. Security couldn't do much but stare and help 5 foot girls up the stage and from falling and getting too close to the edge.

It looked like an '87 hip hop video. Girls in pink tights, off the shoulder grey sweatshirts and side ponytails. Everyone from the ghettofied hip-hop diva blinged out in gaudy gold jewelery to the plaid t-shirt wearing skinny punk guy were on stage and rocking out. M.I.A was the Pied Piper of Terminal 5, the crowd followed her ever dip, shake and shimmy.

Even though she was late she rocked it. However I'm not sure what to think of the T5 venue. Let's see how Justice prevails. ;)

next up: washed out jordache jeans and leopard print snap bracelets

After the Arcade Fire show the next best thing would be World Music yah?

It may be early to talk about what I'm doing in two weeks, but I just can't wait. I thought August was the best month of this year, after the CSS and Daft Punk show, but I dunno, October is giving August a run for it's money.

With Terminal 5 being new I'm excited to see the venue. I always hate looking at those seating charts venues have showing you an aerial view of the inside. Never seems like what I expected. Anyyywho. There's a pretty tight article on M.I.A. in Fact Magazine, a UK mag I found while perusing the internet (it's pretty awesome, btw) which talks about her new album Kala and where she's come from since Arular. This shit will be hot! Pictures & Video ... all that goodness to come later. ;)

.... Who wouldn't wanna see a lil Diplo action that night?

.... Well, maybe Maya.

ooooo weee!
