Diplo vs. M.I.A.’s Paper Planes

October 24th, 2007

DJ/Producer extraordinaire Diplo (who you’ll recall once dated the lovely M.I.A., and also produced a bunch of tracks on Kala) has posted a ‘clean’ version of her incredible song Paper Planes that omits the (somewhat controversial) gunshots & cash cha-chings in the chorus…so now you’ve got a version ‘you can play at elementary schools’. Which, of course, you’d want to! Go listen. (via gorilla vs. bear)

Also: If you’re 19+ and live in Toronto, do NOT miss LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy & Diplo’s DJ set put on by Bacardi B-Live on November 3. It’s free, you just have to RSVP. Facebook event here.

Can’t wait for that Diplo show.

Check out the controversial article on pitchfork where M.I.A. confronted all the journos who kept tying her too closely to Diplo!

Oh I didn’t see that article - thanks Johnny!

The show is going to be SICK. I missed Switch/Diplo last time they were here…I think I was at another show or something.

Were you at the M.I.A. show last weekend?
