_Aeroplane vs Friendly Fires vs Flight Facilities – “I Crave Paris”

Every once in a while I’ll be posting random pictures like fashion editorials, pictures I’ve taken, or pictures that I think are cool because there’s no image that really relates to the post, like this. Above is a picture I took of my friend Jessica.

I’ve been digging Flight Facilities for a while now, and their song “Crave You” is so dauntingly beautiful. Gisele’s voice is so fragile yet so attention-grabbing. Just a couple of weeks ago I came across this amazing mash-up by Aeroplanes (of course) of “Crave You” and another favorite of mine, “Paris” by Friendly Fires. (Both bands’ acronyms are FF) Everything just makes sense in this remix, you’ll understand once you listen to it:

_M.I.A. vs Vampire Weekend – “Giving up the Sunshowers” (The Hood Internet Mashup)

The Hood Internet made a mashup of our favorite songs, M.I.A.’s “Sunshowers” from ‘Arular’ and Vampire Weekend’s “Giving up the Gun“. The mashup flows perfectly, and even Rostam from Vampire Weekend admits that it’s the ‘best mashup I’ll ever hear in my life’.

I wish they added in Ezra’s singing though, it would’ve sounded better. But this is already good enough. Two thumbs up, The Hood Internet!

In M.I.A. news, apparently she’s banned from leaving the U.S. and her family is banned from going to the U.S. What did she do and why can’t she visit her family? I find this odd. From her Twitter:

“BANNED FROM LEAVING THE U.S, FAMILY BANNED FROM COMING TO U.S TO SEE ME , BABY, RECORDING LP, SIGNING THE DOPEST ACTS THATS HITTIN 2010″

And also, It’s rumored that her new album will be coming out this June because of these twitter messages:

“I THINK IM READY”, “JUNE 2010″
