Rye Rye x M.I.A. – Bang (Cobra Krames Big Horns Remix)

Rye Rye x M.I.A. – Bang (Cobra Krames Big Horns Remix) mp3
Cobra Krames is pretty big in the right circles, in others, the Cobra is criminally ignored. Here is to bridging the gap — Krames takes on two artists that are anything but ignorable. No one saw Rye Rye and M.I.A.’s “Bang” coming, and it has since become one of the year’s best surprises and one of my personal favorite party tunes.

Like with any Cobra Krames remix, you should be excited, very excited. Continue reading →

A Milli, A Milli… psych, it’s not that song.
Producer/Songwriter KOVAS teamed up with M.I.A. and dropped a verse on “Hit That.” This track is one of many from KOVAS’ upcoming mixtape, The Stimulus Package.

I’m still not settled at home, so excuse the vapid catch-up posts.

Amanda Blank   Might Like You Better listenAmanda Blank is giving away the first track off her debut album, I Love You out on July 14th on Downtown. This hot track is called “Might Like You Better.” Check it out over at our buds at RCRD LBL or stream it at the end of the post. But before you do, check out the song that first introduced me to Amanda Blank all of the way back in 2007. It’s been a longtime comin’, it’s great to see that her album is actually happening.

Rye Rye & M.I.A. – Bang

Rye Rye & M.I.A.   Bang favorite songs
[rating:70/100]
This may be the first time a couple of bffs, who demanded a lot of online-attention, didn’t annoy the hell out of me. These two bffs actually make me incredibly chipper. It’s this frentic, get-crazy music that Rye Rye and M.I.A. were made to do! Straight crack from Blaqstarr on the production too. What a fantastic and fresh surprise.

Oh and this sidenote is a little annoying, but I can’t resist: doesn’t this song remind you of Slumdog Millionaire?

$100 iTunes giftcard goes to the person who comes up with the perfect Slumdog scene for “Bang” to score.* I guess you have to listen to it first. Continue reading →

Breaking: MIA’s Baby IS NOT Named Ickitt

Breaking: MIAs Baby IS NOT Named Ickitt headline shorties

Phew! She had me scared for a minute there.

The internet buzzed with laughter and excitement today when reports of M.I.A.’s baby name claimed the boy was named Ickitt. She took to her Myspace just a few hours ago, saying this:

“My baby is not called Ickitt, Pickit or Lickit thank you very much to all the Hollywood press. He’s a baby, he don’t need press!

I didn’t release the baby name because I didn’t think it was news!!!!

But I will be back with something newsworthy soon, till then go pick on Apple, Satchel and Moon Unit.

“Lots of love stickit!!”

She’s funny! Good thing her baby name isn’t (via MTV News).

Britney Spears “Circus” Officially Remixed + N.A.S.A., Mr. Oizo too

Britney Spears Circus Officially Remixed + N.A.S.A., Mr. Oizo too favorite songs

Britney Spears – Circus (Villains Remix) / N.A.S.A. feat. M.I.A., Santogold, and Spankrock – Whatchadoin (Villains Remix)

I guess those remixes Diplo made for Britney’s “Circus” weren’t as officially as they were rumored to be. I guess it works out for the best — Villains’ remix of “Circus” is much more Saturday-Night-radio friendly and would fill up any dancefloor in a second. I’m definitely putting this one into my next party mix. While I’m at it, maybe I should add Villains remix of N.A.S.A.’s “Whatchudoin?” Listen to both after the jump Continue reading →

New M.I.A. Song – Death To The Throne

New M.I.A. Song   Death To The Throne mp3

Did the post title make you freak out a little? Are you mad at me now that I’m telling you there really is no new M.I.A. song, but that “New M.I.A. Song” is the title of this cool Death To The Throne remix, that they sent over last night?

For reals. They crunched up the vocals from M.I.A. favorites: “Bucky Done Gun,” “Jimmy,” and “Pull Up The People” and morphed it into one big remix. Entitling it “New M.I.A. Song” is just a hype experiment they’re executing and PMA is more than happy to oblige with those.

In all honesty, this remix is pretty great. I haven’t been aware of Death To The Throne’s existence for long — I think it was their remix of Lykke Li’s “Little Bit” that turned me on to their tunage. This is a goodie for sure. Cop it: Continue reading →
