Another great early streaming offer from NPR. Go.

Limited edition cassette compilation from Mississippi Records featuring somewhat anonymous music found on cell phones in Africa. The sample sounds really cool. I’d like to hear more.

Another M.I.A. gif music video.

EDIT: I’m fifteen minutes into this, and I like it a lot. It’s very scatterbrained, and I like scatterbrained right now. He sounds very much like a recording nerd on this record, which I appreciate.

Another trippy M.I.A. video (this one for /\/\/\Y/\ opener “The Message”).

Another M.I.A. meme-ish web video, this one for an unreleased track with Diplo.

M.I.A.’s new Captcha-inspired music video for “Story to Be Told.”

I really, really respect bands who do this, because I think it demonstrates a very liberal (and postmodern) understanding of the art they create, and how it derives its value. Plus, I’m lame and spend most of my time tooling around with audio. Word!
