M.I.A.
A HARD Day’s Night: M.I.A., Sleigh Bells, Rye Rye, Die Antwoord, Destructo, Skream & Benga in NYC
I don’t know about everyone else (nor do I care frankly) but I had an amazing time over the weekend at HARD NYC on Governors Island. It was an extremely hot summer day but that did not hinder my cousin and I from venturing out to Governor’s Island to celebrate his birthday and hear some [...]

The Creators Project Performance Videos
If you missed the party last Saturday, I’ve compiled a few videos I found online below. WISH I had video of Sleigh Bells performing Kids, in which Alexis spotted me in the crowd and gave me the most awesome shout out! Please let me know if video of this exists! Check out Tastes Like Caramel’s [...]
The Creators Project Launch in New York City
As you saw from my brief preview yesterday, The Creators Project launch at Milk Studios on Saturday night was the only place in the world to be. Artists, musicians, filmmakers and their fans (including celebs Kirsten Dunst and Josh Hartnett) gathered at the studio in Chelsea for the multimedia event of the year featuring interactive [...]
The Creators Project Picture Preview: The Event of the Summer w/ M.I.A., Sleigh Bells, The Rapture, Spike Jonze & More!
I’m bruised and battered from moshing during Sleigh Bells and M.I.A. but before heading out to brunch I wanted to share a few pics from the AMAZING event last night in New York: The Creators Project. The Creators Project took place at Milk Studios in Manhattan and featured killer performances by Sleigh Bells, Interpol, Die [...]
THIS WEEKEND: The Creators Project, Special Guest Revealed!
Yup, that would be M.I.A. (you already knew, right?) Cue me sweating, shouting back lyrics, losing my mind! I hope you’re not missing THE EVENT of the SUMMER!
First Impression Review: M.I.A.’s /\/\/\Y/\ [MAYA]
If you know me well then you certainly know that M.I.A. is one of my favorite artists. And if you haven’t been living under a rock for the past 6 months then you know the relentless bad press, scathing quotes and Tweets of rage. Through it all I’ve tried to ignore all of this and [...]
New M.I.A. Track: XXXO
Earlier today Annie Mac premiered XXXO, the first official single from M.I.A.‘s upcoming third album /\/\/\Y/\. Quite the contrast from the jarring Born Free, XXXO is a catchy electro-R&B infused track with an upcoming Hype Williams directed video to accompany. Unfortunately it seems that we’ll have to wait until July for the album’s release according [...]
Sleigh Bells at Coco 66 With Mr. Dream and Special Guest M.I.A.!
After a last-minute 2AM set by Delorean at Coco 66 a few weeks ago, I’ve come to realize that Coco is totally unpredictable. Last night’s show was no exception. MNDR had to drop off of the line-up to grab a once in a lifetime opportunity to open up for Massive Attack, leaving Brooklyn’s Mr. Dream [...]
New M.I.A. Track: Born Free!!
Currently bugging out over this new M.I.A. track to surface from her upcoming album due out on June 29th (the news was delivered via a blimp flying overhead Coachella-goers.) The new track is honestly not what I expected at all, it sounds like a high school ska-garage band rebelling against the system. Absolutely brilliant! Have [...]
