Post 'Em All Day - The M.I.A. Thread

[EvanEtrics]

I think this thread is mostly for me and Nick.

M.I.A. pulled a nice trick on me today when I was trying to find a copy of XXXO: http://neetrecordings.com/blo

Her new album is called <em>/\/\/\Y/\</em>. Supposedly it's self-titled. Go figure. It's also been pushed back to July 13th, which makes me

I've only heard "Born Free", "XXXO" and "There Is Space For All Dat I See" or whatever the hell that last one is called. It's all sounding VERY nice. Can't wait for <em>/\/\/\Y/\</em>...

I love the title of this so much! I don't think were the only ones who like her, I think Jay does too. But yeah, so pumped for this new album.

Edit: I love watching the Galang video and copying her dance moves, just because they're so hilarious.

I kind of like her, if it makes you feel any better.

I like M.I.A. but think she's full of shit.

[EvanEtrics]

Jay, you're not the first person to say that. I try not to pay too much attention to her politics when I listen to her music, because that's when it stops being about her music. Though some things tend to grab my attention (RE: Born Free video)

yaaayyyy.



devin where can i hear that last track with space in the title?
i heard XXXOO on tumblr earlier and i'm digggggiinnn it.

[EvanEtrics]

It was posted on her YouTube page, but FUCKING UMG blocked it. Here's an MP3 I just found. http://www.mediafire.com/?mw0fo1imwxg. Some are saying that is song is actually called "Space Odyssey".

Does anyone know which version of XXXO is the original?? I keep on hearing that the one that was ripped from the radio isn't the same as the album version. It confuzzles me.

EDIT: Okay, the one on the NEET blog is the original, and the one on iTunes / Radio is a remix of some kind. Unsurprisingly, the original is better. MP3 of the version that went to radio: http://usershare.net/oqcqe4bvx85r

"I find the new Justin Bieber video more violent and more of an assault to my eyes and senses than what I've made."

I love thee M.I.A.

Edit: I think I like the remix better? More dancey.

lololololol

I had just read that. I don't really know if it's true or not. If it is, then it's too bad that she's nothing but an outspoken blowhard. Not about to trash her albums though.
