The video is such an abortion and so patently uncool that I won’t even link it here. Seriously, don’t even bother trying to find it.</p> <p>This video, on the other hand, oozes cool and style, at least for me. It reunites Romain Gavras and MIA after their extremely awesome and extremely controversial “Born Free” video where they <a href="http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/altreport/2010/04/mia-makes-violent-music-video-about-ginger-genocide.html">genocided some cute gingers</a>. This video is beautifully shot, feels super fresh (a common MIA theme, even though that freshness has a half-life of about 2 weeks), and is just <em>interesting</em>. Check it out.</p> </div> </blockquote>http://dady.org/post/16982757457http://dady.org/post/16982757457Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:28:00 -0800Musicvideo<p><ul><li><a href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2012/01/30/120130fa_fact_lizza?currentPage=all">A clear-eyed look back at Obama’s first term</a>.</li> <li><a href="http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/atlarge/2012/01/30/120130crat_atlarge_gopnik?currentPage=all">Mass Incarceration in America</a>.</li> <li><a href="http://www.lrb.co.uk/v34/n02/rachel-aviv/religion-grrrr">More, more, more condemnation of Scientology</a>.</li> <li><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/29/magazine/will-israel-attack-iran.html?pagewanted=all">Will Israel Attack Iran?</a>, by an investigative reporter from Israel’s largest paper with access to the highest levels of Israeli government.
