zooey  said about 5 years ago:

zooey  said about 5 years ago:

aka b'more straight up aka incredible.
aka i can't wait til BDO sideshows.


Obstacle3  said about 5 years ago:

pretty ordinary


shunt  said about 5 years ago:

is she playing BDO again? the whole damn lineup is gonna be recycled!


hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

DON'T UNLEASH MORE SHIT ON THE WORLD PLEASE M.I.A. THX


zooey  said about 5 years ago:

dont think mia is comin to bdo. but there's some cafe amazoid to be added to the line up, don't worry.


BADALEX  said about 5 years ago:

MIA. Awesome live. Except for that guy who kept on screaming out "YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" For no apparent reason.


Thrummmer  said about 5 years ago:

Average. Doesn't really go anywhere. I like some of her tracks, but her worst ones seem to lack dynamics, and just seem content to plod along without variation.

2 stars..


mathieson  said about 5 years ago:

Not her best effort. Is the new album done? Last I heard she got turned back at US customs and couldn't hook up with Timbaland in the studio.


shunt  said about 5 years ago:

apparently: not due out until next year

apparently: no timbaland. switch/diplo/mia produced


Herrmann  said about 5 years ago:

'parently the new album's called 'Bird Flu' - cause, you know - the beats are gonna kill everyone. or somesuch.


shunt  said about 5 years ago:

finally got round to hearing this and i like. although it's so stripped back that it almost sounds a bit unfinished. maybe it's just the low bitrate, but it is a bit flat

also, a short clip of another new song, from ilm: talk about moi ... seems coool on first listen


shunt  said about 5 years ago:

a few more listens in and XR2 is fantastic. haven't listen to this remix yet, but..

MIA - XR2 Diplo Turbo Remix

neeeeeeed more bits or bites or whatever you call them


scissors  said about 5 years ago:

OH GOD I BET SHE PLAYS AN OPULENT PARTY NEXT MONTH


adam  said about 5 years ago:

I think she's teh radness but just wanted to warn doodz not to get expectations sky high for her live show. Think party time as opposed to album-level excellence. Hope diplo comes out also. His fabric live is aces.


shunt  said about 5 years ago:

yeah i know,, i kinda hated her show at bdo and ended up selling my ticket to her sideshow. but i'm loving the new direction

i hafta check out some of these fabric mixes, the new rub n tug one sounds like it could be amazing too

don't be silly scissors she's not gangsta enough for that place


scissors  said about 5 years ago:

neither are all the white kidz

"..."


shunt  said about 5 years ago:

WHY NOT!?! SCISSORS, ARE YOU A "PLAYA HATER"

Alt text


scissors  said about 5 years ago:

is that lakes?


shunt  said about 5 years ago:

hahahahahahhahahahahahahah

I reckon you might need to dig a little deeper, chrissy


history  said about 4 years ago:

so you want it to be more aggressive and deep, like you chris?


ChrisBrimstone  said about 4 years ago:

so you want it to be more aggressive and deep, like you chris?

Hell no. I want it to be more wimpy and emo/interospective


history  said about 4 years ago:

M.I.Emo.
...could be marketable


ChrisBrimstone  said about 4 years ago:

ANY introspection would be nice but i guess that would defeat the point.


endtroducing...  said about 4 years ago:

come around feat. timbaland gets an airing on the final episode of entourage s4. not club background music either, but a prominent part of the soundtrack


whatwhat  said about 4 years ago:

is that the one when he says he wants to get into her tee-pee?

i wonder if he realises she's sri lankan, not indian, let alone american indian. she should fully sick her tamil tiger dad on his ignorant arse.


ChrisBrimstone  said about 4 years ago:

I thought the point was to be as ignorant as possible in the music? wouldn't want to get in the way of the dumb


endtroducing...  said about 4 years ago:

hey brimstone, this record is shit hot. jump on it or hop out hater.


shhh  said about 4 years ago:

this record is great and yes, very addictive. been sending it round and round whilst in the car. i love that one with the abo kids singing about fishing. thankz for the correction ChrisB, cunt.


Friends Forever  said about 4 years ago:

Paper Planes is def one of my favourite songs of the year.


shhh  said about 4 years ago:

same Friends Forever. and it goes extremely well with driving around with the windows down in the sunny spring weather... that wistful sound it has, magic


esquared  said about 4 years ago:

yeah paper planes = theme song to this summer

the other night i was browsing moshtix and i saw that there were 2 tickets left to the mia sidey

cant afford it but i impulse bought anyway. stoked.


kazpatafta  said about 4 years ago:

anyone know when she's on tonight?


ChrisBrimstone  said about 4 years ago:

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? DON'T REMIX WHERE IS MY MIND. FOR FUCKS SAKE


ChrisBrimstone  said about 4 years ago:

TYLER DURDEN WILL KILL YOUR ASS


whatwhat  said about 4 years ago:

she didn't remix it; she reinterpreted it.

still not won over, huh?


ChrisBrimstone  said about 4 years ago:

i just heard this on FBi...its just... thats one of THOSE SONGS. jeezus. not EVERYTHING has to be made more 'dancable' and turned into a 'banger'. leave some shit alone


whatwhat  said about 4 years ago:

it's just a song. it's not a law of physics.

it potentially might be about ping-pong, i suppose.


Reverb  said about 4 years ago:

Just heard Paper Planes properly. Yes. I like. Oh yes.
