Remember when you were in school and cats was bumpin’ Arular and you couldn’t get enough Saudi Arabian hoon videos on that brand new Youtube website? So does Romain Gavras, who previously directed MIA’s awesome Born Free video. Gavras and MIA have collaborated again on an awesome video for her new single, Bad Girls, which is off the 2010 Vicki Leekx mixtape.

M.I.A. released a new video via her Twitter (gross) a few days ago, and it might be called “Space Odyssey“. The understated video makes use of trippy green lights that perfectly complement the chilled-out sound of the track. Since Twitter doesn’t allow people to convey any useful information, I’m not sure if this song will be on MIA’s next record, but it doesn’t appear to be an official single or anything. Enjoy it!

Things got so busy (and biz-zay) at the tail end of last year that I didn’t get to write about some late-09 releases. Here’s a video by N.A.S.A. that I almost forgot about. The song’s called Spacious Thoughts (feat. Tom Waits & Kool Keith), and as you might expect, it’s a really unusual collaboration. The video looks awesome, and the contrast between Waits’ and Kool Keith’s vocals makes the song work in a pretty unique way.
