I am pretty sure that Timbaland co-produced this song with Shakira, and Lil Wayne provides some vocals on it. I think Timbaland's voice is the deep voice you hear.
I think this video is really good, but it would be even better if it had more of Shakira dancing with the other women. Shakira always has really different choreography in her videos.

I have to admit this is one great video ...
I don't know why the embedding of the YouTube video cuts off the right side of the video like that.
Here is a song from 2 Many DJs 2005 album, The Essential Mix, that has the same sound used in the background of Lady GaGa's song ...
Here is a video for the song ...
Mattel has a new game called Mindflex that uses the power of brain waves to make an object move. When I read about it in BusinessWeek, I couldn't help but think of a scene from the 1978 Brian De Palma movie, The Fury, starring Amy Irving. Here is the scene I thought of ...
Let's hope the game is not that intense.
You can download the torrent for the movie, The Fury, here.
This is an old remix of Kanye West's Gold Digger/ Ray Charles' I Got A Woman by Diplo, but I just found it recently and had to share it since it is a lot of fun.
I started a Piracy Funds Terrorism, vol. 1, playlist on YouTube a while back (it actually survived a couple of usernames I have gone through since YouTube used to have a 2 strikes and you're out copyright infringement policy ... they seem to have gotten a little more tolerant lately). There were two songs left off of it. One was "URAQT", which is pretty much the same version that is on Arular, even though is says "Diplo Mix" after it. The other song is "Bingo", which has a different background on PFT (the background is a Jay-Z song). I will do a video for "Bingo" later, and I am sure it will be pretty much the same as this URAQT video, just tweaked a little.
Here is the video for URAQT, which I think came out better than some of my other videos ...
update ... and here is the last video ...
I got this from the M.I.A. Fans message board (of course) ...
"Get It Up" has 2 versions. The version in this ad is the Esau Mwamwaya version. The other version has Santogold, M.I.A., and Gorilla Zoe. Here are the 2 versions to listen to ...
I decided to make a YouTube video for an old remix of Tori Amos' "Horses" by a DJ named Gavo aka Gavin Bradley.
Here is the video ...
Here is Gavin Bradley's website ...

I always thought this was one of the best remixes of a Tori Amos song (the Armand van Helden remix of Professional Widow is probably the best remix ever).
You download Gavo's remix of Horses here.
I have posted this song before, but I decided to make a YouTube video for it (especially since I need to use remixes and live versions of songs to avoid YouTube's strict copyright rules). iieee is my favorite song from Tori Amos' From The Choirgirl Hotel album, and it is also one of my favorite songs ever. I have enjoyed this "beginner's lounge mix" remix, which I guess was done by a fan many moons ago and released onto the internet.
I tried to do a video for Tori Amos's obscure song "Hungarian Wedding Song". I used photos of an British import CD single of Caught A Lite Sneeze. I edited the photos and created a rubik's cube like video effect (that I used above, too) using this basic video editor I have. Well, YouTube slapped a copyright violation on the video right away due to the music. I changed the audio to a song that YouTube offered, and here is the result ...
Here is the only video of Tori's "Hungarian Wedding Song" performed by someone on YouTube (you can get away with that!) ...
Here is the actual song by Tori Amos ...
Here is a very low quality version of what the video would have looked like. I am not too crazy about the video now, but it did teach me the "overlay" effect, where you can lay one video on top of another and choose how transparent the video is. I put the Tori video on top of inverted scenes from George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead". I think the effect is kind of cool, but I wish you could make out the movie scenes more. I thought the movie fit in nicely with the lyrics "all the dead are coming" from the song. I repeated the song over and over again to make the video long so it gets pretty repetitive. I tried to incorporate sound effects during the song to make it sound more sinister.

I discovered Firefox Personas today. They are really cool themes that completely change how your browser looks. I chose the "Fireflies" Persona to go with my Noia 2.0 (eXtreme) browser theme, and the combination is really cool. I think they have tons of personas to choose from.

M.I.A. has begun her NEET empire with a simple webpage that is really cool to look at. NEET is M.I.A.'s own personal record label. I think she may have used it to help distribute the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack, but don't quote me on that. She is definitely using it to market her protege, Rye Rye. Below is a screenshot of the website, but you need to go to the actual site to experience the magic of the graphics (you'll see what I mean).
I think "NEET" stands for "
My favorite song or remix of Rye Rye's is "Hardcore Girls", which she did with The Count and Sinden. Here is the Don Rimini remix (which I have posted before) ...

Rosetta@Home is the website for a project that uses a screensaver to analyze proteins that could lead to the cures of major diseases, such as cancer. Everyday they feature a different user as their "user of the day". Today I am that user so that is pretty cool. I am always wanting to build up a team of Rosetta@Home users to be on my "Team M.I.A.", but it hasn't quite happened, yet.
Here is a screenshot ...
If you ever join Rosetta@Home, and you download their screensaver, there will be an option (on the website, not the screensaver, I think) to join one of the teams. Please join my Team M.I.A. ...

The cool thing about this screensaver is that it is basically harnessing the power of thousands (or more?) computers out there to act like one supercomputer. The more people who use the screensaver, the faster it will get its job done.
I'm such a nerd about Rosetta@Home that I made 2 YouTube videos about it a while back ...
The videos combine clips from M.I.A.'s songs (all of them) with images of her and images/video of the BOINC screensaver ...
