i'll get over it soon



My new favorite track off of Kala - will someone please have a party so I can be the DJ, 'cause it's obvious this shit would tear UP the dancefloor. And as someone wisely pointed out in the youtube comments, check out the lyrics (written by M.I.A., actual song's a Bollywood cover) in the first verse - "When you go Rwanda Congo, Take me on ya genocide tour, Take me on a truck to Darfur," &c - to fully comprehend the multifaceted brilliance that is this song.

Also, watched The Lives of Others for a second time last night, both because I wanted to hear the commentary and because on my first viewing the night before I was all stoned and xanax-y and couldn't stay awake for the whole thing. Anyway, awesome film that totally deserved the Oscar, though I'm still horribly bitter that Der Untergang didn't pick up the trophy in '05. Fucking Spaniards. In related news, do people really think Javier Bardem is hot? I find that he has an uncomfortably wide frame.
