M.I.A. is streaming her new album, ///Y/, on her MySpace account. It's also for sale on iTunes, even though it's not out until July 13 via N.E.E.T./Interscope. After the first three tracks, my arm hairs haven't settled down, so I anticipate the rest of its greatness, even though her ex-boyfriend Diplo said a few weeks ago on Twitter (@diplo), “just listened to mastr of the MIA album.. WOW.. my 3 trax are slammin!
dunno bout the rest-sounds like skinny puppy ☹ & gives me
nightmares☹”

In fact, today Diplo responded to this Twitter question: “Tell me why
does it sound like a toilet just flushed at the end of 'Tell Me
Why'????” thusly: “cuz rest of album is a turd.”
