Stream Manu Chao's La Radiolina

Rev up the Internet Explorer browser to stream Manu Chao's new album, La Radiolina in its entirety on MTV's "The Leak." Dropping next Tuesday on Nacional/Because Music, it will mark Chao's first US release in six years. The multi-lingual, politically-charged lyrics by the Barcelona-native are heavily critical of this great nation, so perhaps it's only right for him to say it to our collective face, as it were.

I suppose the gun-happy cowboy in US flag pantalones featured in the video for "Rainin in Paradise" says it all (view two other versions of this video here):

Chao is currently hosting a series of listening parties leading up to the release, followed up by a European tour in October (MySpace, linked below, has the details).
