M.I.A. No Longer M.I.A.
February 7th, 2008
In my estimation the goal of a truly great music blog is to be as far ahead of the curve as possible. Well, there’s ahead of the curve and there’s Gorilla vs. Bear. They posted our remix of M.I.A.’s ‘Paper Planes’ before we knew they’d even heard it. Hell, I didn’t even know we’d finished mixing it! Anyway, we think it’s pretty cool, pay the gorilla and bear a visit and take a listen.
We’re on our way to Los Angeles today and we play Echoplex tomorrow. The highlights of our trip to L.A., however, are the following:
- Tonight we’re going to see Aimee Mann (!). Jesus Christ I’m excited.
- Tomorrow there is a Speedcabling competition. Speedcabling! If there was ever a sport created specifically for us - and there was not - this is it. Speedcabling is, simply, “[…] a competitive sport in which contestants race to unravel a bundle of wires.” Tomorrow’s event conflicts with our show so we might just have to blow that off. I’m sure Gruff can do a solo set or something…
