M.I.A. loves San Francisco! And how could she not, after last weekend's performance on the idyllic Treasure Island? And surely she wasn't going to let a tiny bar event that sold out immediately and a huge music festival with 8 other bands be her only visits to SF this year. Was she? Nope! M.I.A. has just added TWO new SF shows to her tour calendar!
Nov 7 The Fillmore Nov 8 The Mezzanine
Tix for both shows go on sale September 23rd. And they're gonna sell out fast, so don't dally!
In other M.I.A. news this week, the BBC 6 Radio dj, Steve Lamacq, has what he calls a "Rebel Playlist" each week. This week, one of the songs competing to make it onto that list is M.I.A.'s gorgeous Sri Lankan traditional, "Jimmy." You can help her make it onto the list by going over to the radio show website and voting for it. The vote submission button is at the bottom of this BBC 6 page: BBC 6 Radio - Steve Lamacq page
If you haven't seen the video for "Jimmy" yet, here it is:Mia - Jimmy

If you're just tuning in, def scope the remix of M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" posted earlier today in MOG News. It goes well with the "Jimmy Aaja" cover.
Is it fair to label this post hip hop? "Jimmy" isn't hip hop at all...
