MIA

i thought that it was gonna get in the low 7s, like, this has some real shit, but some real bangers, and is generally not the greatest direction for her

but i haven't listened to the album yet and underestimated its terribleness

I thought the first single was garbage, but was embarrassed to say it cause the sample was for a cool band i was supposed to know about but had never actually listened to.

for = from

glad to have you back

NEVER FORGET 7/12

damn, THAT'S WHAT'S UP

Pitchfork overrated this piece of shit if you ask me

Man, I bet tomorrow's gonna be a fun day to be Hipster Runoff huh

Waiting for tomorrow's blogs to update is gonna be like waiting for Schadenfreude Santa

cant wait for mias tweets

i wonder if she'll let pfork take over HER twitter

oh man, i wish this album had appealing grooves!

I'll be watching all the hype machine blogs that posted glowing reviews of tracks that leaked pre-4.4.

good idea, makeitpop

Brooklyn Vegan notes that I totally called this shit.

lol @ perpetua criticizing the silly paranoid politics of "the message" and then calling "bird flu" a masterpiece

remember the good old days when m.i.a. lived in a mudshack and had fascinating, intelligent, nuanced political statements to make?

are you and BV tight

whos got perpetuas phone number, better DM it to maya right quick

max your joke was preempted on twitter by molls, you're fired from gawker

J0rd, I have never met Mr. BV in real life! Although before my house burned down some of his mail used to come to my PO Box.

i'm not unconvinced that you, a brooklyn vegan, aren't the brooklyn vegan

whiney = bv
ice cr?m = hipster runoff
ksh = scott lapatine

i knew i shouldnt have spent half an hour workshopping it

i'm no vegan, btw. gotta up those pics of me and hoos chowin on bbq

oh right, you don't drink/smoke -- hard to keep track

whos got perpetuas phone number, better DM it to maya right quick

i feel like i should listen to this not thru my laptop speakers, but after reading the reviews that seems like what i'm supposed to do

It's not the best idea to kick off your politically charged album with a song that demolishes the possibility of addressing a serious issue about privacy with any degree of depth or nuance.

Who does Perpetua think he's reviewing?

i have added this album to my "might listen to sometime if i can possibly bear it" along w/joanna newsom and lcd soundsystem

ehh, put the word playlist in there somewhere

Meanwhile I have no idea whence whiney is coming with "unlistenable" but whatev.

By which I mean I really like the parts of this record that sound like shit.

kind of lol, but ugh perpetua? really?

According to Metacritic I am still leading the race to give this the most damning review.

I gave it one star in the Neston & Ellesmere Port Chronicle but I was limited to 35 words. I guess there's a cut-off.

"That song is not a total disaster, but it's certainly a missed opportunity and a poor application of a strong guitar riff."

That review is not a total disaster, but it's certainly a missed opportunity and a poor application of a 4.4 grade.

are we gonna have some fun in here today or what

man oh man

gotta go to work :(

stoked 4 the madness

Is anyone actually excited and/or looking forward to actually listening to this?

I'm looking forward to one of you singing the PFM review to me.

this was playing during my Fopp browsing session today.
it gave me a headache, so i bought the new Walls album instead.

I'm saying nothing.

^^^that's what all l0u1s jagg3r posts look like when I wear my They Live glasses

dude considering I get your back more than many that's not a shrewd move
