M.I.A. - Space Odyssey / THERES SPACE FOR OL DAT I SEE

[jrodjrxbox]

@rwm1135 actually they did not if you look she wrote many song for these people especially Brittney

[Jadoxitic]

if this song is any indicator, m.i.a.'s still got it. i can't wait for the new album.

[FashiionMonsteR]

i love mia...Lady gaga is so fucking ugly and gets on my fucking nerves =]

[radicalAPE]

@rwm1135 i get what ur saying but i really appreciate what gaga has done for the anticipation of music. ppl who arent even fans cant wait to see what she's going to do next. but with that being said i like m.i.a. much better. and gaga is 95% grace jones and 5% everyone else she supposedly "rips off".

[KAHLUT]

@rwm1135 well put blaad..

M.I.A doesnt ask for people to love her.. she doesnt want or need fame..

[haribo687]

WILL EVERYONE SHUT UP ABOUT LADY GAGA!! FFS!!!

Love this tune, cant wait til its released proper...

[iAreSmileyFace]

This song is such a trip. I love it <3

[bratzcube]

m.i.a has been out for a while now...her original genuine fans have clung to her but now that she is really starting to put herself out there like what she should have done in the beginning this bad bitch will take over 2010 HER NEW ALBUM IS THE LITERALLLY FINNA BE THE NUMBER ONE

[ArtsMangoMilli]

i wanna know how this vid is made.... it would be really koo to do...

[tubbymctubsta]

this is boring. m.i.a's album will kick ass though.

[butterstochlol]

M.I.A is big in the U.K but not here thats probably why some ppl dont listen to her music.i like M.I.A i wish she was more out there so more ppl can listen to her music.

[nethaneld]

@rwm1135 I agree. To me, Gaga is a culmination of ideas and fashion statements while M.I.A. is a source for ideas and imagination.

[marviinxrocks]

pretty exciting.

[Yaserafriend]

Strange and a pretty different kinda song, though, love MIA always!

[Jebidisa]

At 3 minutes this sounds so much like the kinds of stuff Bjork used to do.

[enelol32]

it's kinda funny (and scary at the same time) how everyone keeps comparing GAGA to every female artist there is... i've read comparisons between Gaga vs. fever ray...vs.M.I.A.... vs. bjork... come on... give us a break... gaga is gaga.. karin is karin.. and bjork is bjork... some are shit.. some are true artists (if u know what i mean)

[dreadboystarchild]

this sounds weird as in the quality sounds fucked up

[HopeRanchRain]

everyone in the music industry puts forth a persona, some are more real than others MIA is about as authentic as they come. She's the shit and is going to be one of the most popular artists of the new decade

[beautifulme7]

LOVE IT!!!

[lovesthegaga]

i hope she puts this on her new cd

[301starmenace]

does anyone have the download link to this song?

[BeetPractitioner]

AMAZING AMAZING AMAAZING!!!

[AsellusPrimus]

Hmm I hope she isn't selling out. If she adds some more drunk slurs to this I will be happy.

[SCordeliaB]

i hope she is. get that money MIA!!!!!!!

[takme2DamusicstoRE]

sounds like someone on a acid trip LOL...why am i sort of drawn to this song? Of course I woulda done it differently

[NECESSARY777]

gravity iz myy enemiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooo! biggest fan rite here!

[jogrades]

The last minute sounds like some bjork song, but the name eludes me.

[jogrades]

I love this video, and the song. I think it is supposed to sound rough because the bass sounds that way but her voice doesn't.

Its very simple but very good.

MIA is pretty amazing

[yves2013]

is it supposed to sound like it's playing out of some shitty laptop speakers? Cause if it is... I don't get it.

[aeroplano]

I believe she was just experimenting with her laptop, i dont think this is the final version of anything, she must be trying new stuff...this has a lot of potential but obviously needs some polishing and editing

[yves2013]

@aeroplano I really hope so, because this is sounding pretty good so far! I love the how it's way more chill then her previous sounds.

[damageboyinsj]

hey....nobody is more contrived and trendy as lady gaga....not to mention boring....some yall need a badass notice...fo real

[megabulk3000]

OMG MIA MDA

[WolfmanRockPower5]

girl, get back to dat grimey grime

[KishManz]

This was filmed in Tamil Nadu, India!!! ;-)

[KishManz]

I don't know what to make of this song yet!

But I like the last 1 minute! ;-)

[BluntBoy007]

MIA is QUEEN!!! hey Lady Gaga you SUCK...

[TheTyC91]

Beg to differ with you BluntBoy007 I love both of them and they are very good artist who we can relate and look up to, M.I.A and Gaga dont give a shit what people think about us and we should follow their example, not arguing but I love Gaga to!

How do you not like Gaga? : O *shock face LOL

[BluntBoy007]

ok i dont like GAGA cuz she's so MTV. and the stuff she sings about i cant relate to. i like MIA cuz she does music her OWN style. with GAGA, there is no sense of "imagination" in her music. the only "imagination" GAGA uses is the shitty clothes she wears. plus i HATE the pop music that is on the radio, and she is TOTAL pop.

[TheTyC91]

Well what can I say everybody is different, but what we do have in common is that we love M.I.A shes the shit and so is this song (for me)

[BluntBoy007]

this is very true. well said

[90sbaby92]

how can u insinuate tht GaGa's music isn't her own... wat artist do u kno tht u think she tssk from in any way...wat she does is wat she feels,u have to give her credit for tht

[BluntBoy007]

im only sayin because the music industry is in a shit hole right now. some artists start trends to sell records, GAGA dresses like a mutant to get recognized. do you think she is like that normally? probably not.

[90sbaby92]

...wait a minute..why are we even comparing the two...???

[FlareNF]

Both are great in different ways

[GIZMOSAND]

Kdp

[JKSkreeze]

She's too contrived for me but she's extremely talented, I'll give her that. Very intelligent woman, too. She's certainly way too trendy, but she's still likeable. I like that she genuinely doesn't seem to give a fuck.

[darkelitecommander]

How is she contrived yet talented? How is she too trendy yet you like "that she genuinely doesn't seem to give a fuck?"

That seems a little contradictory to me.

[JKSkreeze]

A. Contrived and talented can totally co-exist. We see this throughout the music world constantly. Look at any "coffee house" artist. Same thing. Extremely contrived, obviously produced, but still "talented;" granted, I would say M.I.A. is much more talented than that.

B. She doesn't give a fuck, but she is also very very very VERY trendy. It's not her fault, really - she's developed quite the following but it all feels very trendy and thusly off-putting.

[gymLYYFE]

@JKSkreeze and if you think shes "trendy" yes maybe she is but what rapper isnt? id say she is the most timeless rapper (: just look at this video!

[gymLYYFE]

@JKSkreeze not only are you contradicting your words but also "contrived" means "artificial". And i would understand that if you were saying that about taylor swift, britany speares first album or the back street boys but this is M.I.A. as real as it gets my nigg get an edication...

[JKSkreeze]

Oh GymLYYFE you poor soul. You're telling me to get an education, which I clearly have, and yet manage to misspell "education" during your failed attempt at an insult? I think your comment says a lot about this country. If you're going to insult someone, at least try to come across as half-way capable with the English language.

[gymLYYFE]

@JKSkreeze i mispelled it on purpose hahaha. you dont need to get offensive just saying your words dont match up correctly (:

[damageboyinsj]

btw contrived doesnt mean "artificial" in the real sense...it means artificial in order to produce a desired result artificially...in regards to art anyway

[SCordeliaB]

She made this video for 100 dollars! FUCKIN GENUIS

[SCordeliaB]

New song? New album too? Wheres the bass MIA! More bass

[adriennejlee]

love this song!

[paralelSun]

omg the sound quality~!!@!@!~@~@~!#~!#@~@~

wtf

[cryin4ryan]

ohh so beautiful this woman is... love u mia!!!

[apachebrave]

It would be awesome if actually named the album 2010: A Space Odysessy. M.I.A never dissapoints! Good shit right here.

[XXRitsukaChosyXX]

man I am so happy for here return! 2 yrs since "kala" is way to long to wait!

[trippingouttostuff]

lyrics pleaaaaaaaaase

[einhorn303]

There's some potential here.

[jlindebergstylez]

needs some bass yoooo

[lolo101ish]

@jlindebergstylez i know right. sumthn.

[tonobisbal]

lo ultimo se oye bn padre

[greenteasens]

please somebody write the lyrics

[izzy2002]

she recorded this on a web cam on a computer

[jiga06]

where the fuck is the BASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

damn man c'mon MIA i luved her songs for that base knock it had. but this?............pfffff i waited for a new song by her and now i have to wait longer for 1 that I LIKE

[Tinuserviceline]

I think that's just that fucking crappy youtube quality

[razvanpasq]

i think it's because she's playing music with a playstation

[ryanrosenq]

this is a more laid back chill tune, if yadamean

[withtheirmachines]

Can definitely hear the the old animal collective influence with the Ah ah's...thats pretty bad ass...

the intro line catches you pretty fast

"gravity's my enemy"

The only solo female artist in music that interests me as of now..not saying that to be chauvinistic or anything but i just do not like beyonce or lady gaga or the girl stuff that is HUGE. this girl is damn sick.

[natnic1]

oh god yes

[4everblowinbubbles0]

amazing

[zeke9516]

for real listen to sticky. This song is BADASS when you are baked. It makes me float in space.

[88GoodMusic]

cruisin to marzzzzz right now...stay twisted.

[Ratseno]

Is this the sound quality on purpose? I feel like I am listening to a 1984 boom box...yes, I am that old bitches...LMBAO! POB!

[stickyhandss]

everybody get blazed and listen to this song.

[suckmyjaggon]

for real dude. this is a fantastic blazing song!

[mcdholdem]

@suckmyjaggon yeayea

[valf156115]

she's actually amazing.

[420Seven]

such beautiful music.

[djtintin88]

Genius

[JofusSunshyne]

When loud, that pitch & the repetetiveness goes right through me, I've only listened a couple of times so hopefully it gets to me in a good way :)

[Clueless41]

I thought she retired.

[STEFANz012]

what kind of light is this and where do i get one???

[BluntBoy007]

thanks for the comments, its hard to find people that enjoy good music.

[DoctorIncredible]

i dont see how this cost anything really, unless theyre counting buying the laser toy. :-D rusko pwns it. check him out in a club/party near you.

[gigglegocks2000]

bollywood meets sega genesis

[bbernens]

i was like....i feel like i'm playing Sonic.

[CK170696]

she serves up the hotness! M.I.A. 4  President!!! <3 it !

[limetreess]

This is mind blowing.

[BluntBoy007]

M.I.A. is the best female artist out there. FUCK YOU lady gaga

[BrutalScar]

lol! agreeee

[xshikamaru13]

wow this is weird haha :)

[danymonsterx0x]

Space Odyssey was quickly written and recorded Monday night for $100, in response to a New York Times story, the artists publicist tells The Fader. Space Odyssey, produced by M.I.A. and Rusko, will likely appear on M.I.A.s upcoming third studio album.

[southhampton91]

she's nothing short of a genius. I mean, this was made under $100.....which in itself is a huge slap in the face of every musical bigwig whose commercialized music!!! Such a simple yet surreal video.....

[danymonsterx0x]

this song was produced with 100 dollars that's awesome lol

[WarningRules]

@danymonsterx0x

Where did you hear that?

[ShootUpTheStation]

i think she was talking about the video there.

[IIRedEyeII]

@danymonsterx0x you clearly have no idea what is "producing a song"

[danymonsterx0x]

@IIRedEyeII & you clearly are stupid for trying to insult me, that was what I found dumbass look the song up

[The3rdHiltonSister]

I love M.I.A.

i have her two first albums and I cant wait for the her third one to drop!

[keithatthedisco]

amazing song, can't wait for the new album to release!

[sasukexisxgay]

It's just so chill and peaceful... gotta love M.I.A

[yorkandpomona]

hmmmmm everyone talk all the shit you want but i am not in love with this...im sure it will grow on me....dont hate im not a sheep!

[wayiswho]

yessssss

she fucking did this song in like one day.

shows how much of a mega genius she is

[Jakon68]

MIA is amazing!

Nice!

Nice!

Nice!

5*!

Good work! Nice! Well... NICE!!

F*KC Y** N*W Y*RK T*M*S!

[Jakon68]

[CopperTopNic]

M.I.A. is simply amazing! i can't wait for her next album

[seismohahahaha]

[MYKECHECK132]

Sexy, weird,dark-skinned

...I love it

[rai8503]

she so fine

[adajeeodusanya]

SHE IS SO BOMB! LOVE THIS MAN! XD

[boni510]

YES!

[palamasilva]

MIA, You should visit Sri Lanka to see how SL is really like - not like your tiger father told you.

It is countries like UK that discriminates minorities, not Sri Lanka!

British took Tamils from India and used them basically as slaves in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, etc.

[KAHLUT]

she lived in sri lanka for her early life you douche

[OrgyMassacre]

jackass, her school was bombed before she fled sri lanka during the revolution. Now, shes building schools in SL. Im sure shes done more for SL than you have

[GuitarFreakReegs]

"not like your tiger father told you"

dont care if you may have a point or not,

but that was an enormous jackass move

[dimrodlo]

sorry if I'm off topic in this Sri Lanka blog but I just want to say that this video rocks and the song isn't bad either :D

[NoEalamInSL]

I think people with a mustard seed size of a brain would realize that Sri Lanka is the top destination of the world for ever, not only for 2010! But thank you NY Times for your recommendation! Unfortunately serial killers, looters, bang-bang shooters and those who fly in paper planes after cocain wouldnt realize that. By the way I dont understand song what she sings and boring music. Good luck for the next number. MIA wants badly to go to Sri Lanka but she is pissed off because cant get visa!

[KAHLUT]

cunt.

u dnt know shit about anything

[onitproperlike]

what do you want her 2 do? go and fight the singalese? This is good, bringing awareness to the problem. She is great, fight the power people, countries like India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan are so corrupt they oppress the minorities so badly and it never gets out

[Tamilrights007]

Bothe Presidential candidates in Sri Lanka are WAR CRIMINALS. NY times travel editor received money from Sri Lankan Embassy in New York. Higjh commisioner is from the President family. It is country with murderers, rapists and corruption. Don't go to Sri Lanka.

[Tamilrights007]

good work. Sri Lanka must be try for war crime.

[palamasilva]

Try British for war crimes.

British used Tamils as slaves in Sri Lanka, Malysia, Singapore and West Indies, and put them in such inhumane work like taking human waste to dumping grounds.

[SolHouseZach95]

@palamasilva I'm not trying to make that sound good or anything, but.. WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH M.I.A. THAT IS NOT M.I.A.'S FAULT. M.I.A. IS NOT A TERRORIST NOR DOES SHE SUPPORT TERRORISM. JUST BECAUSE SHE'S BRITISH AND SRI LANKAN DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. IF YOU CAN PROVE IT, FINE, BUT UNTIL THEN STOP MAKING STATEMENTS LIKE THIS.

[baba2003]

best way to make money out of poor people but will it stick to her??? only god knows ...

[darkelitecommander]

A lot of the time her lyrics reaches people who don't even know about the shit thats going down in Sri Lanka and makes them act on it. And I doubt she just sat there and made music.

[GinderAliqueMohammed]

Tamils are getting slaughterd in Sri Lanka and this stupid chick was making a new album.

fuck her!

[lordmeowmeow]

really, really good

[sonofsilence]

This is the future.

[KarolLdvk]

New album will be amazing!!!

[ApolloAndel]

I love this shitt!!!!!!!!

[powersoulboy]

The coolest femme out there!

[FILMLYFE]

thank god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[flonflondubal]

awesome!!!!

[darkelitecommander]

YESYESYESYESYESYESSSSS

Can she plz go back on tour? I really want to see her live! T^T

[Crede06]

reminds me of the end of "Sledgehammer" video

[yasoaddictive]

SO HOTTT

[BrotherSport311]

Cannot wait for a high quality mp3 of this cchhhhhoon!

[mak4ttack]

This is so chill compared to her old stuff.

[feversmirrorssonnets]

[ondybay]
