^ This is apparently the title of M.I.A.’s new album. She’s dropped two songs from this album already, both of which are incredible, and one even sports a really gruesome video to go along with it.

The most recent track is called “XXXO” and it has two manifestation currently, a remix by Blaqstarr, and the much better original. Listen to the original here:

The remix version can be heard on her label’s super badass blog.

EDIT: Violence seems to be a theme with videos these days (oh my delicate sensibilities!). Watch Nine Inch Nail’s Trent Reznor’s new band How to Destroy Angel’s bloody new video over at pitchfork.tv

Back in 2008 Radiohead DJed during a webcast. One of the most notable moments was when Thom Yorke broke down into his usual spastic dancing to his mix of M.I.A. Someone on YouTube described it as a, ‘psycho bunny dance.’ He just seems to lose control of his limbs but I’m telling you, it’s one more reason I’m enamored of the guy. You can view below.

M.I.A.

Check out new song Born Free and its video on her labels website, N.E.E.T. The song is great, the video is horrifying and graphic and the site ‘is flashy and screams in your face’ (George).
