Mmm-mmm M.I.A.
by Pete
I’ll freely admit that a large part of what draws me to M.I.A.’s music is her looks. Her exotic Sri Lankan roots, her sexy Brit-rap, and infectious beats like this (courtesy of Diplo), make for some damn fine listening. And like Borat would say, she make me think of sexytime. Very nice! High Five!
M.I.A.: XR2 Turbo (mp3) – this download and others available on her MySpace page.

Hello Ickies! I know I’ve been absent from posting for far too long. I shall try harder in 2010 (though I think I said the same thing last year).
The first decade of the new millennium produced some great music, from established artists and from new folks. Keeping with the format set forth [...]

Quick Note: I didn’t want to bombard my Top 10 with Springsteen and Prince albums, so I chose my favorites of theirs from the 00’s. Did I spend more time with M.I.A.’s Arular than with Bruce’s Magic or Prince’s Musicology? No way. Just so you know, I limited my picks to one album per artist.
And [...]

Here’s a brief recap of my first day at ACL: Friday, September 14th….
Jesse Malin – my bro and I walked in part way into Jesse’s set. Jesse gets instant cred in my book because he pulled the Boss in to his new album to sing “Broken Radio” with him. He’s got the east [...]

I respectfully defer to Wayne when I say: “Schwingg!”
Her follow up to her very successful debut, Arular, was released a couple weeks ago. It’s called Kala, and I have to say, I’m enjoying it even more than her first. I love cool sounds. This album has ‘em. She had originally planned to get in [...]

A friend of mine hipped me to this over the summer. I listened to it obsessively for about two months. Totally awesome, and different from anything else I’ve heard. Also makes for good running accompaniment (although I haven’t done any of that since the semester started. bad Zack!)

Actually if you read some of her interviews, particularly this one (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/44529-mia-confronts-the-haters) Diplo was really only involved in 2 songs, and thats all he should really have credit for.
