I've never seen her dj, but judging from her releases I'd wager she'll play on the softer and dreamier side of minimal house.

Don't like the lo-fi karaoke thing on her voice in this particular song... I could see how it's supposed to fit with the punk aesthetic of the song but it just sounds like lazy production... hope the rest of the album feels less like a demo.

― Suede - the fabric, not the band (DL), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 17:27 (1 year ago) Permalink
The artist, of course, is M.I.A. About seven years ago, I praised her for several things, including turning the noxious generalization of “world music” into an idea that represents life as it is lived, and affords huge aesthetic possibilities. She made two albums that received all the praise they deserved, and then a third album called “/\/\/\Y/\,” which received a deeply weird and negative review in Pitchfork (unless you think M.I.A. is here only to provide “bangers” and hasn’t already vaulted way past her “potential as a pop artist” many times) and, most damagingly, the worst profile ever written about a musician, in the New York Times Magazine.

Good article but SFJ is completely off if he thinks M.I.A. did it simply as a performance and not a publicity stunt. If flipping the finger was allowed she would've thought of the next 'offensive' thing to do on live tv. She did it because she knew exactly the reactions it would get.

i feel like people have lost the ability to distinguish between "performance" and "publicity stunt." i mean any 'look at me!' gesture by a professional entertainer/celebrity is what it is, you can just choose to look at it in one light or another as part and parcel of what they do or something unnecessary or sinister or calculated.

Did she actually apologize? I know the NFL and NBC did, but I can't find an apology from M.I.A. herself (not even a "I'm sorry you found the gesture offensive" dealie).

i really think this is NBC or the censors' "fault" to the extent that it matters at all -- i mean it's a live event, with hundreds of people on camera doing unscripted things for hours and hours with millions of viewers watching, and something went wrong on the air in a very high profile way less than 10 years ago. how can they not have some kind of tape delay or guys with lightening fast reflexes in the control room?

Right after, there was a weird horizontal pattern on tv for about half a second. Since I missed the birdflip, I assumed it was some technical glitch.

i kind of believe that she did it spontaneously b/c who would ever have thought something so minor would cause a kerfuffle at all? and it's a pretty natural gesture to make at that point in the song. then again she didn't do it in rehearsals
