Not heard on either / \ / \ / \ Y / \ nor Vicki Leekx is this new leak (new to us) from M.I.A., whose talk in the blogosphere has died down since her almost Kanye-like overexposure of 2010. Listen to “Zig Zag” below; it  drops a few French words here and there, but it’s not really anything special to the ears.

/|/|/|Y/| doesn’t drop until next Tuesday, but M.I.A. has put the whole album up on her MySpace for your listening enjoyment. What do you think – certified platinum or canned caca? Please, oh please, please opine us.

Listen to M.I.A.’s new track “Haters” along with a recorded conversation between her and New York Times journalist Lynn Hirschberg entitled War Crimes and French Fries. M.I.A. actually sings on this track so it’s worth a listen. We cannot decide who is more worthy of the title persona non grata – Hirschberg or M.I.A.
