M.I.A.’s New Beat Is As Infectious As “Bird Flu“

"I CALLED THIS "BIRD FLU" BECAUSE THIS BEAT GON KILL EVERYONE!!" blogged Sri Lankan (via London) MC M.I.A. a half year ago. At last, she’s posted her "new" song "Bird Flu" on MySpace and the accompanying video (which she personally funded) on YouTube (see below). It’s sure to cause a riot on the street with its tribal drumming, children chanting and M.I.A.’s off-key accenting.
