M.I.A & Fujiya & Miyagi

Hey all. Another delay, i know. At least now i can own up the fact that i can't seem to properly commit to this blog. I'll update every once in a while. On those days when i've found something so good that i can't seem to sleep without having first told the Internets about it. So please check back when you hear that blog-nag in the back of you head. It probably means i've added something awesome. Speaking of awesome! :

M.I.A - Kala
M.I.A
's new record, "Kala", kills. It was to be expected though, since, so far, anything she's touched she's turned to Electro-Grime-HipPop gold. This MAY not be the final mix, as the entire record was posted on her Myspace with slight variations. But with a more hip-hop feel than Arular (her debut), an adaptation of a Pixies song, a super-disco cover of an old Bollywood hit, not to mention one of the best, most gangsta pop songs of the year ("Paper Planes"), this is a record not to pass off.

M.I.A - Piracy Funds Terrorism vol.1
You want more you say?? M.I.A's collaboration with Diplo called "Piracy Funds Terrorism vol.1", released even before Arular, is an incredible mixtape which includes early versions of many of the songs found on her first two records as well as tons of other fantastic unheards. Not convinced? Diplo produces an insane hip-hop track on this release, combining the beat from Snoop's "Drop it like it's hot" with a Boards of Canada song. Oh yes.

Fujiya & Miyagi - Transparent Things
Finally, i know i've missed last years hype, but i just heard Fujiya & Miyagi's "Transparent Things" for the first time, and i'm in Krautrock, Funk, Brit-pop bliss. Check this one out, if you haven't already.





OK, so: As always, click on the covers to download.
Also, i'll be getting everyone who cares up to date on the "Y: The Last Man" series of comics that i started posting earlier. There are only 4 more issue to wait for so start catching up. It's so fucking good!

UPDATE! :
Y: The Last Man - Issues 21 - 30
Y: The Last Man - Issues 31 - 39
Y: The Last Man - Issues 40 - 50
Y: The Last Man - Issues 51 - 56
Y: The Last Man - Issue 57

Thats's all of them!

The "Gog" was obviously a fuckin puss and couldn't hang out with the real bloggers. Punk. Glad you're gone.
