In between pwning the internets by posting that MIA track yesterday (above) like one second after she Twitted it, we were on our investigative grind. We emailed MIA’s publicist, who got us the scoop: It’s a protest song against the New York Times, which printed a questionable bit on how Sri Lanka is now the best place to travel in 2010. Peep MIA’s Twitter for the full back story. “Space Odyssey” should be on her forthcoming album, which is set to drop this summer (potentially June). Get pumped.
According to MIA’s publicist:
It is called ‘Space Odyssey” produced by Rusko and M.I.A. The song and video were made Monday night for $100, after the New York Times, as she says: “fucked up so hard.”
Check her tweets – she obviously finds it reckless and ignorant of the paper to not even scratch their own walls on what is reality in Sri Lanka.
I just got back from an amazing trip through Mexico, where I surfed, got ripped off, met tons of amazing people and saw a lot of amazing things. This mix was definitely a sound track to my trip which I still can't stop listening too. 
Lately I have been feeling like I have not been getting picked for the cool kids team, but after listening to Team EZY I feel like I belong to something. Not that I have anything with making of music but their beats are very friendly to the ear and makes one feel like they belong to the cool crowd.
