al3x: “As the club filled up I saw exactly the audience I figured M.I.A. would draw: exceedingly multiracial and international, just fashionable enough, and easily 60% female if not more. For a genre- and culture-spanning iconoclast, M.I.A. is hitting her target demographic dead on.”
al3x seems a little disappointed in the show, not so much because it wasn't good, but because it wasn't excellent, based on the clear obsession he has with her (an obsession he and I share). M.I.A. is supposed to be playing Vancouver in November with Gwen Stefani, which I think I'll pass on. $50 bucks to see a great club act in a stadium? I'll stick with the October 7th show at the Commodore, for which I just bought a ticket, and added a listing for in Upcoming.org.
