Music iLike: Kate Nash November 22, 2009
She’s new, as in new new so wiki doesn’t have much info on her for me to copy (lol). What I do know about her is that she’s young, beautiful, and ridiculously talented. Her debut album Made of Bricks went platinum in the UK. A fan made an absolutely lovely video to go along with the song Nicest Thing off her absolutely lovely album filled with amazing sauce smothered on all her songs. You can probably guess by now that I really like this new artist. Now give her a listen.
PS. This is a day early cause I was just so excited to share her with you guys that I couldn’t wait another day.

Music iLike: MIA November 16, 2009
Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam, better known by her stage name M.I.A., is an English songwriter, record producer, singer, fashion designer, and artist of Sri Lankan Tamil origin.
An accomplished visual artist by 2002, M.I.A. came to prominence in early 2004 through file-sharing of her singles “Galang” and “Sunshowers” on the Internet. She released her Mercury Prize-nominated debut album Arular in 2005. Her second album, Kala, was released in 2007 and gained her mainstream chart success. She has been nominated for two Grammy Awards and an Academy Award.
Her compositions have been noted to encompass various genres, often with political lyricism and artwork. M.I.A. has described her music style as being “other.” In addition to her work as a graphic designer, providing artwork and photography for releases and as a director of music videos, she has also experimented with documentary film and in 2008 released a collection of her fashion designs. She is the founder of the record label N.E.E.T.
In 2009, Time magazine placed M.I.A. in the Time 100 list of “World’s Most Influential people” for having “global influence across many genres”.
I had both her albums before my computer decided to commit suicide, now I only have Kala. Its MIA though so I’m happy in owning any amount of her work. Another artist who can’t do wrong in my eyes, there is no song of hers that doesn’t make me wanna get up and dance. Most people probably know about Kala due to the commercializing of her song Paper Planes (after everyone found out where Kanye got that sample from) so I’ll share something off Arular. Check her out.
