Lite-hearted

Check out M.I.A's latest video (posted last Tuesday on Twitter...I think the kids call that "Tweeted"...eh...) There's a bunch of talk about how the song is a protest to the New York Times suggesting Sri Lanka as a hot tourist spot (despite the country's very disturbing civil war)....yadda yadda yadda. In all honesty, I can't really tell you what her lyrics are about. I just enjoy the beat and light show (very reminiscent of playing with Lite-Brites as a kid ;)

Some other cool illuminations:

French conceptual artist, Michel de Broin, thought it would be
pretty daymn cool to make a huge disco ball
and suspend it 50 meters above the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris.
Couldn't agree with him more.
