SuicideGirl Stina Sardinha may not be a name you're well acquainted with, but it should be. Given how long she's been tattooing, it's quite surprising that she doesn't have one preferred 'style' when it comes to tattooing. With talent a decade in the making,...

Samuel Bayer directed legendary music videos like Nirvana's "Smell's Like Teen Spirit." Back when MTV actually played videos, his work heralded the grunge movement and a gritty visual style for the genre. It took nearly 20 years for him to make the leap to film. Bayer's first feature is a doozy, the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street.

What is the consensus on the new MIA video?
I think the song is not her best work but the video is thought provoking. Could have done without Mom and Dad getting it on in the beginning but thought from the bus bit on was interesting.
in other vaguely music related news....
I have become exceedingly lazy in finding new music to listen to. I...

bee:
mia video is raw! i like that its not like anything you see out there right now. frightening? YES! personally i would like a but more color... so if she just made this whole thing into a cartoon it would bee badass.
ragdoll:
I think that the way the video has been filmed has some subtle qualities reminiscent of the 80's, and I don't get the sense that the song and the video flow well together at all.
I agree with your thoughts that it certainly isn't her strongest work.
It is different and a little bit edgy, which does make it interesting. The objection seems have been to make the whole thing thought provoking, successfully done, but I do think that perhaps they tried a touch too hard or just weren't sure how many metaphors/symbolisms to pander to.
In addition to that - I think marketing may have succeeded in creating hype for a song that is generally quite below par. Everyone is talking about the video - we've all heard the song and have an opinion - but it's back to the video, right?
I'm not sure if this will be your cup of tea (as us English often say) but you might like Ian Siegal.
