We guess that Diplo’s travel book sold mad decently, because publisher Rizzoli New York has now signed M.I.A. on to be the next musician to deliver an autobiographical title, according to Freshgood.com. The self-titled 192-page book, due out in October, will feature “monograph in collages made by the powerful and thought-provoking artist herself.” Given M.I.A. usual seizure-inducing art direction, you might want to take a Xanax before delving into a books worth of it.

A finger isn’t a nipple and M.I.A. certainly isn’t Janet Jackson, but that’s the main (non-)controversy coming out of last night’s Superbowl Halftime show.

It boggles the mind of what these two mad geniuses can create. I didn’t even know these two songs can mash up but they do and it’s amazing: it’s dance-crazy, it’s rock-crazy, it’s wickedly crazy. That is why I call them the “Kings of Mash-Ups;” and hey, I might even go as far and say that they are the Kings of DJs (I might… but I won’t).

We suspect there will be a lot more Amy Winehouse tributes coming down the pike. But here’s two great ones to start off. Both tracks by M.I.A. and Big Boi were recorded before the singer’s death this weekend, but that doesn’t make them any less poignant. …MORE
