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.

How much of the new album did Rusko produce? If he did the whole thing, it's likely to be dreadful.

pretty sure it's just a sample. writing credit is her, martin and alan. it's gash, but they'll get some cash so that's great.

I get that its cool to hear Paper Planes in indie discos nowdays, but can't she go back to the intense buzzy skeletal beats of Arular, they're so much more fun
Also, poor German MIA
― boxedjoy, Friday, 23 April 2010 16:24 (fourteen years ago) link
iDig this. Arular is neanderthal MIA and...and that's saying something given her overall aesthetic.
― Blancminaj (Spinspin Sugah), Friday, 23 April 2010 16:34 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― Moka, Friday, 23 April 2010 18:51 (fourteen years ago) link

Except MIA hasn't done 'bad atari teenage riot' before. Its pop music. Did you expect some sort of Stockhausen experiment? What is new etc, etc...

she had this album called kala that pulled from some great honkies: richman, pixies, clashShe made them her own and made them parts of something great
thought she'd do suicide justice. she did not.
― Fellini.Kuti, Friday, 23 April 2010 23:10 (fourteen years ago) link
Shit. And here I was just thinking she went and made a song.
So can we get this straight: Is it 'Bad Atari Teenage Riot' or 'Bad Suicide'. Is someone going to say sounds like 'Bad M.I.A?' Prefer these kinds of influences than Beach #**!@$ Boys.
