NEW CL!: cl - lifted

cl - lifted
one of the biggest problems of kpop superstar CL's foray into international waters is that she is packaged so perfectly to become a star (the clothes! the swagger! the dave meyers video! the method man cameo!) that they kind of forgot the most important thing about it all... the songs! though her new single 'lifted' comes the closest to crossover success (the siren hook and the reggae grooves are pretty fun), but it's still a tad lite on the m.i.a./sass pop front. maybe this'll be a grower?

REEEMIX: m.i.a. - bird song (diplo remix)

m.i.a. - bird song (diplo remix)
well looks like hell hath frozen over as mia & diplo have buried the hatchet and released a fun new remix of her current single 'bird song' (not without some behind the scenes drama with her label). claiming this is her last ever album, the reunion of the ex's does allow her career to come full circle if this is the case. either way, it's a perk for the fans!

SUNDAY JAM: diplo vs cl vs riff raff vs og maco - doctor pepper

diplo vs cl vs riff raff vs og maco - doctor pepper
cl from 2ne1 gets her first official english single release with ALOT of help from rapper riff raff and og maco. kind of wish it was more of a solo affair (i mean, the girl has the chops to be the next M.I.A.) so hopefully the next release will be more cl less other...

DANCE MIX: m.i.a. & the partysquad - double bubble trouble

m.i.a. & the partysquad - double bubble trouble
plastic guns, weed and some serious bassline! happy weekend yo!!!

AUDIO PREMIERE: lily allen - air balloon

lily allen - air balloon
well someone is putting out some fun cheeky MIA-lite material! after the highly buzzed 1st single "hard out here", lily kicks off 2014 with this insta catchy number you'll be able to sing along to in seconds. can't wait for the video!

LAST BATCH MIX: m.i.a. - y.a.l.a.

m.i.a. - y.a.l.a.
FINALLY a m.i.a. track that doesn't test your appreciation of beats and noise (which as much as i love this woman, her last two leaks were tough sells) giving the y.o.l.o. mentality a finger, you always live again (y.a.l.a.) is the mantra she lives by. karma indeed!

[UPDATE] check out the official video of this song below!

m.i.a. - y.a.l.a.

WACKY AWARDS SHOW: YouTube Music Awards 2013 (with live videos by eminem, arcade fire, m.i.a., avicii and lady gaga)

webcast creative director spike jonze says that there was no script or plan to the awards, plus live music videos were created by lady gaga, eminem, arcade fire and avicii, adding to the chaos. if you didn't see it live, it sure was wackadoodle! here are the highlights of the evening below:

eminem - rap god (youtube awards 2013)


m.i.a. - come walk with me (youtube awards 2013)

avicii - hey brother / you make me / wake me up (a live short film by lena dunham) (youtube awards 2013)

arcade fire - afterlife (youtube awards 2013)

lady gaga - dope (youtube awards 2013)

IT'S LYRICAL: m.i.a. - come walk with me

m.i.a. - come walk with me
the trajectory of my appreciation of this song goes like this, "really good... fun... good... wait...what just happened... hm... oh i get it... good... this song is busy... gosh this song is long... wait it's only halfway... ugh..." and scene.

VIDEO PREMIERE!: m.i.a. - bring the noize

m.i.a. - bring the noize
damn this song is a tough punch in the gut! m.i.a. offers up her hard sound to ease her fans into her upcoming album 'matangi' (though more like a drop kick). the beats are crazy, the video is visually dynamic and well... just press play!

COOL TUESDAY: m.i.a. - bring the noize

m.i.a. - bring the noize
she's baaaaaack! all in anticipation of her upcoming album 'matangi' which the rapper herself claims has been extremely difficult to record. it's a challenging sound so perhaps thats the direction we're going in. we shall see later this year...

HOT MIX: mia - matangi mix for kenzo

mia - matangi mix for kenzo
created for the kenzo paris show, mia offered up a preview of the influences and some actual leaks of her highly anticipated new album 'matangi'! it's a killa mix and now i CAN'T WAIT to hear the actual album!

AUDIO LEAK: nicola roberts - beat of my drum

want to see the video? go here!

nicola roberts - beat of my drum
[it's the go! team meets m.i.a. all filtered through the most washed down tweeny pop vocals thanks to ex-girls aloud member nicola roberts. it's kind of good and kind of bad at the same time (the good comes from producer diplo throwing all of his tricks into the bag) and the bad... well... i think someone with more sass could probably do this song serious justice. looking forward to mocking the video in a few days!]

AUDIO LEAK: m.i.a. - zig zag (demo)
