    I see her videos on my Tumblr dashboard all the time. But never bothered to play one. Now I'm kinda interested. Any recommendations?

    well of her more recent output i'd say definitely give "bad girls" a spin, a lot of people seem to love that one. good video and catchy, earwormy song.

    "galang" is a classic from her debut album arular, as is "bucky done gun". i think my favorite from her debut is "hombre". "amazon" is also very good.

    then from her second album, kala, you've probably already heard "paper planes" (not my favorite and incredibly overplayed) or possibly "boyz" (again not my favorite). "jimmy" is the only song i can think of from that album that i really like, although i haven't played tha album in a long time, so my memory is fuzzy.

    her third album has a ridiculous title i won't bother attempting to recreate, and i haaaaaaaaated it, the only listenable song to my ears was "XXXO". and possibly "teqkilla"

    keep in mind these are opinions from a slightly disillusioned former M.I.A. fan, hahah!

    (boy i hope all these links work)

    Lovely Head

    I don't really know if this is worth mentioning but I was listening to Seventh Tree and then I listened to Felt Mountain and I noticed one really big difference that definitely separates Felt Mountain apart from the other space. 

    One thing any art student knows is the presence of negative space. It's the space that's not used up by the subject of the piece. Negative space also exists in music too. Felt Mountain definitely was much simpler in composition than any of its subsequent albums. Each song had less instruments and (in my opinion) was less cluttered.

    I'm not sure if anybody else noticed but I definitely thought it was something to be noted.

    @Bells what do you think of Daft Punk's new album?





    I hate myself for saying it but I'm really not keen on it. Great album cover shame about the content. The lead single is OK but doesn't blow me out my socks with wonderment tbh :-??

    IAMX - The Unified Field

    Honestly if the frapp album ends upbeing a disappointment I will still have this record!

    It has given me so much joy this year already. Maybe it has just fitted my life situation of late. There is so much meloncholy in Chris' voice and his melodies. It's like dark his northern heart was meant to fit with those sorrowful eastern european melodies. It really takes me somewhere else. There is a song on the album called Sorrow which is about how all those dark feelings can also be comfort and driving energy that you life off. Very apt.

    Not too keen either TBH. I did pick my fave tracks, and there are only two: Instant Crush and Lose Yourself to Dance. Everything else just kinda meh. I absolutely love their music written for TRON Legacy. God, it's like heroin to my ears.
