Hailing from Sri Lanka/UK, the one and only M.I.A. is in town along with Norway's Datarock, and supported by Toronto's very own innovations Holy Fuck, and The Carps. Here's your chance to win a pair of tickets to this sold out show...

The fruit in question is Watermelon. Whilst everyone else here just used the word watermelon as a comment, I was under the impression that watermelon was supposed to be used in a sentence as a comment. Maybe I was misled about the useage of said word watermelon. BTW, I like watermelon. I have a friend who has a problem with watermelon, but you'd have to ask him why he has a problem with watermelon on your own time. Thanks.

I don't like watermelon but I love M.I.A. and, though I've I've only recently become aware of them, I'm starting to dig on Datarock as well.
