///////////// TIME magazine has named MIA, Maya Arulpragasam, as one of ‘The World’s Most Influential People’ of 2009. Why? I’m still trying to figure that out. The only reason I could pull out from the TIME article was ‘She just has things she cares about and is interested in, from all over the world.’ [TIME]

//////// Not knowing where Slumdog Millionaire came from or when it even came out, the movie is pretty emo provoking! Didn't think I'd been into a movie who's cast consist entirely of Indian decent actors. By the end of the movie I felt motivated that slumdog's like myself can make dreams come true as long [...]

M.I.A. at xXx (10/11/08) Photos: Bumpershine A visibly pregnant M.I.A. was the second to last act to take the stage at the xXx party Saturday night and as far as I'm concerned her baby news made a bigger splash than her music. I know M.I.A. has a legion of devoted fans out there and her profile has [...]

Other than the rap remix with Rich Boy and Bun B which really just has a couple added verses. This one from the South African DJ, Lapse. This one really brings the track to an uptempo feel. The way he chopped the instrumental to is bangin. It reminds me of this track from back in [...]

The song is featured ...

"Film & Clothes" to M.I.A. -- which means it's essentially a spot for her seizure-baiting fashion line . But she remains of full belly, which means you won't see her wearing any of it. In fact you won't see her at all (she's retired, remember). Instead the vid incorporates the stills and models you'll recognize from that time you were shopping for $75 tees , set to the sped up version of "...

"Shells (Slow)" is the first non-remix bonus track to leak from M.I.A.'s Kala Extended Edition — and quite frankly, It's a huge letdown. If this song appeared on on Kala's original run, it would have hated it. It sounds too amateurish and demoish for my taste. I'm not a huge fan of the over-produced studio [...]

We begrudgingly let ourselves be dragged to the cinema yesterday (we know, who calls it the cinema??) to see "Slumdog Millionaire"…and boy, we've never been happier that we were unwillingly forced to do something!! We highly recommend the film to any and everyone: the story revolves around an Indian beggar (Jamal, a 'slumdog') who appears [...]
