MIA's documentary music video + David Holmes track

Its great of Maya to, y'know, say kind of like "What if?" about racism n stuff. I mean this is what Vietnam was all about, y'know? President Bush is such a dick! The 1960s!

In other serious news, here we have a real heavy hitter from Irish DJ David Holmes, remixed by My Bloody Valentine leader Kevin Shields. Don't expect it to get all Lost in Translation, though. This track is designed to keep you dancing to its machinegun rhythm guitar and handclaps. I love the girls wailing in the background, they throw in this great soul aspect. I can't help but think of Edwin Starr.
Get in your tank, get a couple of foxy mammas as your gunners, put this on and crash through the Pentagon. Or just play it at your next dance party and watch people start coupling up. You'll look and feel like a boss either way.

New M.I.A. Song - "Born Free"

All I wanna do is listen-to-MIA's-new-song, and shake my moneeeeehhhh. For real though, M.I.A., the angsty, and Lagy-Gaga hating songstress has a new album coming out June 29th via N.E.E.T./Interscope, and it has been described by producer Diplo as a "mix between Animal Collective and Gucci Mane." Now if that doesn't salivate your musical glands, then that fact that Diplo, Rusko, Switch, Blaqstarr, and Sleigh Bells' Derek Miller all served as producers surely will.

Until then, when the world collapses upon itself due to everyone dancing (MIAquake?), we've got the first song from this sure-to-be-ridiculous album here for you to listen to. It's a very heavy track, and very, very, punk. M.I.A. declares herself to be "Born Free" with the title of the song, but hey, we already knew that, didn't we?
