TODAY'S PICKS

DAILY TRACK: M.I.A. - "Bamboo Banga" Kala is about the brown-skinned Other now obsessing Euro-America -- described from the outside by a brown-skinned sympathizer who's an insider for as long as her visa holds up. It opens with the uninvitingly spare "Bamboo Banga," which samples Indian Tamil film composer Ilayaraja and bends the lyric of Richman's "Roadrunner" so it celebrates a kid running alongside a Third World tourist's Hummer and banging on its door. Click HERE for more on M.I.A.'s latest album.

DAILY VIDEO: Maroon 5 Talk Tabloid Travails, Paul McCartney at Rolling Stone Cover Shoot

DAILY REVIEW: Sum 41 - Underclass Hero Underclass Hero is long on openhearted tunes about broken homes, youthful alienation and such, which draw on every pop-punk device you could think of, including arena-size choruses and the same shimmery keyboard textures Blink used on their "mature" record four years back. Click HERE for more on the latest Sum 41 album.
