i know i'm coming in late in the game on this one, cause i somehow never heard Paper Planes by M.I.A. (even though it is so intensely rad) until i saw the trailer for 'pineaplle express' (yes, i laughed despite not being high). and even though my friend matt included it on his yearly "best of" compilation recently. yeah, i'm dim. don't mind me. i'm not usually one to listen to the same song over and over and over again, cause i like listening to songs in context -- in al...

I could think of so many better ways to spend this upcoming long weekend but instead I choose.......... COACHELLA Board the plane in Copenhagen thursday morning and head to LA. Coachella is one thing. Most of all I am looking forward to meeting all these nice people I've known for about one year........but never met. Beauty of the internet. We can skip all the intro-talks and go straight for the drinks. Then again.........the festival, the bands, the h... MORE

M.I.A. is the new face for the Spring/Summer 2008 Marc by Marc Jacobs campaign. I'm sure this might be old news, but I just recently saw the ads in the mags.
I've been unfortunate enough to read on some music blog sites of people calling her a 'sell out" for posing in his ads. However, I disagree. His think his creativeness and style go hand in hand with hers. While the clothes she is modeling isn't signature M.I.A., it is definitely Marc Jacobs.
His choice photogra... MORE

M.I.A. will bring her "Boyz" and "Bird Flu" to the States again this Spring, with a tour that kicks off at Coachella April 26th. From there she follows a bizarre route that looks like it was mapped out by a dizzy, blindfolded monkey. Which means she'll hit numerous spots in the midwest with occasional jumps to the four corners of the country.
M.I.A. tour dates:
26 Apr Coachella Festival Indio, California
28 Apr 4th and B San Diego, California
1 May La Z... MORE

I've been listening to the M.I.A. song, 'paper planes', on repeat for a few days and despite generally liking M.I.A., I just think this song is hella catchy. I was totally blasting it while driving to work, which makes me super white. Maybe they should put me on Stuff White People Like. I also love the irony of a super poppy song that's all about being a hustler.... MORE

So no awards for the M.I.A album at the UK Asian Music Awards I was at the other night. Mind you she is a little crazy and with tracks like BirdFlu it's not hard to see why Jay Sean scooped the heap of accolades and was nominated in nearly all categories. The event itself held at the Royal Festival Hall in South Bank was a mixture of appalling stage management, sound and an audience with all the attention span of a drive through KFC . I couldn't blame them tho... MORE

When I reported about the upcoming EP of "Paper Planes" remixes, I had no idea that Ad Rock also contributed a track to it. The album is called Paper Planes (Homeland Security Remixes) EP, physical versions drop March 4th via XL Recordings and it features various remixes of the most controversial song off M.I.A.'s Kala album. (The EP is available now digitally)
As previously reported, Diplo (ft. Bun B and Rich Boy), Blaqstarr (ft. Afrikan Boy, Rye Rye), DFA an... MORE

Thanks to Amoeba Record's sale on all used vinyl over the weekend, I finally scored a copy of M.I.A.'s "Boyz" single. Now I have enuff change left in my pocket to grab her Paper Planes Remixes on March 3rd. The stand-out single from last year's Kala gets rinsed by Diplo, Afrikan Boy, Rye Rye, DFA and Scottie B. I can't wait to hear the Rye Rye refix. FACT Mag describes the DFA remix as, "a slo-mo, disco-funk chugger that's sure to work a party, with some properly lo... MORE

I got M.I.A.'s Kala album when it was released, and I immediately fell in love with it. I've exhausted my iPod playing the album over and over. Naturally, I look up the lyrics to every song she has. Needless to say, Big Branch became my new fav off of the album. It's amazing! The beat is infectious and the lyrics are insane! listen + enjoy... MORE
