MIA

Q-bert's gonna be mad pissed at her for stealing that

I still in no way understand what she is wearing

y'all do have to admit that it would be fucking hilarious if she had to end up paying the FCC 500k or something

so surprising from a singer who's just released a song title "bad girls" !
easy move and huge publicity for her. all win !

lol at anyone riled up by this in any way

It's not exactly "Jarvis' Arse" is it?

I let my son stay up past his bedtime to participate in a great American tradition, and I have to say I was pretty appalled at what we saw on the Super Bowl broadcast tumblr dashboard

http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/m-i-a-splits-fiance-benjamin-bronfman-family-scene-article-1.1018258?pgno=1

the bonus is that the last paragraph of the article appears to be an email one of the reporters sent to his/her editor

Ben Bronfman and MIA have broken up. He told someone she lives in London and he and their son, Ikid are here. Another source told me she sometimes goes six weeks without seeing the little boy. Also, Ben was at the Schomburg in Harlem last week with what seemed to onlookers like a date,a very pretty black girl.

Yeah, forgot to change "someone" to "Sources close to Ben say that"...

who wrote that, someone's 15-year-old cousin

xp: lol of course you're already all over that

is MIA gonna get half?

tbf, she has pulled off the perfect coup: successfully reproduced, made sure her kid is well-off financially, and could even come back later in life to sponge off him.

i want half *bang bang bang bang*

half an engagement ring?

haaaaaalf

WE WANT PRENUP

MIA should get married to Nicki Minaj

someone pointed out that ben bronfman's sister is "a very pretty black girl"

cheating AND incest! this story just keeps getting better!

And an ... anchor baby!

ugh not even in jest

Yeah, don't mention it to those conservative nuts already in a tizzy over this militant brown-skinned person with visa issues they'd never heard of until Sunday.

china girl grew up to be a big girl
had her sights set on a bigger world
dial-a-bride from sri lanka
found herself a yorkshire banker
need a visa, got with a geezer
need some money, paid him with a knees-up
a year later, started to ease up
got her own way, shouted out see ya

i just checked foxnews entertainment out of curiosity and the top story is about lana del rey

lol lex OTM

i used to work on the website for a certain magazine bonnie fuller used to edit, back in the mists of time. she insisted that all email correspondence be printed out and couriered to her once a week!

shes a national treasure, frankly

lol

Drugs OTM

ha lex

Those lyrics Lex posted reminded me there was a time when MIA was awesome and not just a tedious attention seeker.

those things aren't mutually exclusive in my world (lex's either, I suspect)

lol "Ten Dollar" is one of the Arular songs I always skip

ha posting those lyrics did remind me how much i love "10 dollar"

MIA POX

10 dollar

I haven't heard that. I feel like this is a grave mistake. xp

lex u forgot "Space" :)

otherwise much agreement, need to hear that carioca mix

Basically the deal, I believe, was that Diplo totally jacked DJ Marlboro's beat for the original Bucky Done Gun, more or less - or at least that was the rumour at the time, and the remix was a way to 'rectify' that or whatever.

apparently "space" is on the last album? i don't remember anything about maya except how bad the bad bits were. my 11th track that got kicked off the final 10 was "hit that".

remembering mia's best songs is a handy way of realising how unexciting her new one is.

slays the original (which they nicked off a dj marlboro beat in the first place)

ha xp

i like that song "Paper Planes"

this is not going to change your mind lex but Maya mostly kills, it's just the three sluggish songs on the middle ("It Takes A Muscle", "ItIz What It Iz", to a lesser degree "Story To Be Told") that make it seem interminable

Hmmm, that's cool but I don't think I like it as much as the original. "Bucky" is probably my favorite M.I.A. song, though.

This, except the only one that I find sluggish/interminable is It Iz What It Iz.

impressive fact from her Wiki
She is the only artist in history to be nominated for an Academy Award, Grammy Award, Brit Award, Mercury Prize and Alternative Turner Prize.

less impressive if anyone else was nominated for all of those except whatever 'alternative tuner' is

U2 has been nominated for all but the "alternative turner prize"

man if u2 isnt alt enough 4u i dont even know
