M.I.A. at Terminal 5  /  Nov 01, 2013 M.I.A.M.I.A.M.I.A.M.I.A.M.I.A.M.I.A. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange opened the concert with a 10-minute Skype message.

If you’re in San Francisco and ride the bus, you might be lucky enough to catch her moves while she waits at the bus stop. Here she is prancercising in Golden Gate Park wearing […]
