M.I.A. contributed some vocals to this song, "O ... Saya", from the movie, Slumdog Millionaire (see how much money it has made so far here), which is still not showing in Austin. I am going to see it as soon as it shows up in a theater here. It shouldn't be too long.
This "O ... Saya" song is wonderful. I know it has a lot of elements of traditional and current Indian music in it, but it also reminds me of the music Vangelis did for "Blade Runner". M.I.A.'s voice goes perfectly with it. It kind of makes me think of M.I.A.'s music from the future or something weird like that.
Here is the song on YouTube ...
You can buy the song on iTunes if you like. I hope it will be available on Amazon's MP3 Downloads section soon because I hate buying stuff from iTunes.
In other news, the mixtape, "Top Ranking", by Diplo and Santogold just keeps getting better.
The album is a continuous mix so I am going to post 2 songs below, but you need to think of them as one song since there is no pause between them on the album.
There is this Danny Boyle film that is out right now in limited release called "Slumdog Millionaire". I think the movie takes place in India, and the main languages in the movie are Hindi and English and a combination of Hindi and English. Anyway, the movie is getting stellar reviews, and it sounds really cool. M.I.A.'s song, "Paper Planes", is featured in the movie. I think there are actually two versions of the song used in the movie, but I could be wrong about that. I want to see it just because it sounds good, but the fact that it has her music in the movie will be an added bonus.
Ladyhawke's self-titled album is finally available for download on the U.S. version of Amazon.com. You can download it here. There is something very refreshing about Ladyhawke's music. Her voice is very easy to listen to, and she combines just the right amount of electronic and retro sounds into her music.
Here is Ladyhawke's song, Morning Dreams (this is the slowest song on the album) ...
My co-worker (who happens to be from Hyderabad in India) and I were talking about Bollywood movies, and I told her that I had seen part of one on YouTube before that was very high energy. It took me a long time to track it down, and I can't remember how I found it in the first place (update: I probably read about it on this blog, "Rough In Here, Rougher Out There"), but it's really fun to watch. The song is really good, too. I love it when the guy sings "Monica, oh my darling-ling-ling" or something like that. I sang it for my co-worker, and she instantly knew what I was talking about.
Here is the video ...
