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

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"...

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.

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.
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:44 (twelve years ago) link
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)

i like that song "Paper Planes"
― Number None, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:48 (twelve years ago) link
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
― I spend a lot of time thinking about apricots (DJP), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 23:49 (twelve years ago) link
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 WikiShe is the only artist in history to be nominated for an Academy Award, Grammy Award, Brit Award, Mercury Prize and Alternative Turner Prize.
― piscesx, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 03:26 (twelve years ago) link
less impressive if anyone else was nominated for all of those except whatever 'alternative tuner' is
― some dude, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 03:35 (twelve years ago) link
U2 has been nominated for all but the "alternative turner prize"
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 8 February 2012 03:39 (twelve years ago) link
man if u2 isnt alt enough 4u i dont even know
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 03:40 (twelve years ago) link
yeah but i'd kind of expect that from the likes of U2 cause they've been around since forever. pretty impressive from someone with a short career like MIA's i'd say.
― piscesx, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 05:16 (twelve years ago) link
I s'spect the Alt-Turner Prize is related to the Turner Prize, i.e., an art prize.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 05:30 (twelve years ago) link
Sting has also been nominated for all but the Alt-Turner, btw.

This, except the exact opposite. If DJP and I divided up MAYA it would be the most harmonious settlement ever.
