Got the new MIA and love it! After the very disappointing last album, this is a return to form. It’s sort of a mega mix of the previous three albums, not as revolutionary as the first two, but still damned good. The track “Walk With Me” is brilliant and practically custom built for my strange musical tastes.
I’m definitely a fan. Love the exotic sound and attitude of her music. Need to get into her more.
We just did an interview with her here at VICE for the Youtube Music Awards and she showed up really high so we couldn’t use it.
It was amusing…

Isn’t that EXACTLY what you want to use?

Was she not coherent? What about it made it unusable?
She’s really pretty for 38. Glad to see some old person is able to make it in the biz.
She was coherent, just a bit slow lol…
Honestly I’m sure it was a mix of politics that made it unusable. I don’t really know the exact details.
They had her in some hipster’s kitchen which looked really drab with a sink full of dishes behind her, the curtains clashed horribly with her skin tone, there was a construction truck going by in the window behind her, beeping and with flashing yellow lights…
It looked awful and her high rambling didn’t help any.
I don’t know who canned it but that stuff happens all the time in the industry, half the shit that’s shot or recorded never sees the light of day.
I know I did two full edits from the piece and never heard about it again, which is a shame because the second one was especially entertaining. She talked about the making of the music video for ‘Sunshowers’ and the story is hilarious.
I’ve half a mind to just post a link so SOMEONE will see this lost interview…
Would love to hear the story behind Sunshowers. I love that song.
I tried listening to this based on various recommendations, but I just found it irritating.
She might not have been high. I like MIA, think most of the albums are pretty good, but the girl is fucking daft.
I think her new album is absolutely the best thing to come out this year

Ha, I knew you were a man of taste and distinction.
Unlistenable rubbish.
