Both Jack and I have mad love for M.I.A. (as you can see in the side bar, right now) so it felt it time to post something by her. I don’t even remember how I came across her two albums, Kala and Arular, but I’m sure it had something to do with someone putting either one of those albums at the top of their “must-listen” list. Anyway, this here is just an EP, but a great EP, none-the-less. I could listen to DFA remix 100 times and not get tired of it!
You’ve heard it all by now: M.I.A. flies like paper, gets high like planes, samples Combat Rock and gets stuck in your, er, brains. “Paper Planes”, the Kala standout– and, when joined by Diplo, Bun B and Rich Boy, Pitchfork’s #4 track of 2007— has been ringing out from every Hummer and hot dog stand since its release last summer. Now, M.I.A. has collected five fine remixes of the gunslingin’, kid-singin’ track for the Homeland Security Remixes EP.
