They both began experimenting with a capellas of the tracks on Arular, remixing, sampling and mashing them up with prominent rappers and musicians, eventually using the material created during the sessions to build the mixtape Piracy Funds Terrorism.
...
Piracy Funds Terrorism was initially only given to the press and handed out at early live shows, but because of the album's underground success,[15][16] Turntablelab.com began releasing the mixtape exclusively through their website around December 2004. The mixtape added to the anticipation of Arulpragasam's debut album.[9] It was popular among M.I.A.'s growing fanbase within the music blogosphere and elsewhere.

Hmm, je zou het ook kunnen interpreteren als dat ze niet meer live zal optreden, maar nog wel platen blijft maken. Als dat zo is, dan is het maar een beetje jammer ...

Jimmy, adjaa! Dat lijkt me wel duidelijk hoor. Overigens, waarom zou een tamil geen hindi in haar muziek kunnen gebruiken? Oh ja, God gaat er vanuit dat hij met zijn toren van babel gedoe de mensen wel genoeg verdeeld heeft.

MIA has spoken out about her comments onstage at Bonnaroo in June, when she told the audience that the slot was her last gig ever. The Brooklyn-based Sri Lankan said “It was my last ever show. And it still is. I stopped touring after that and I didn’t want to make music again. I was quite happy to just leave it all behind. I was happy with what I had achieved.” As previously reported, the rapper cancelled her summer tour of the UK, and while onstage at Bonnaroo said “This is my last show, and I’m glad I’m spending it with all my hippies.” But it seems she’s finding it hard to stay away from music, and is currently planning her new record after enjoying massive success with her song ‘Paper Planes’ in the US. “With the success of ‘Paper Planes’, there’s pull for me to make another record. Even my mum believes in me more” she told Entertainment Weekly. “It’s a nice encouragement. But I was planning my life as a fishing woman on the outskirts of Cambodia. That’s a joke.” She also says if she had permanently quit the music business, that a foray into the film world was likely to have been her next step. “I think I would have gone and made a film. As an artist you want to play around with mediums and see if you can get the point across in a different way. I wanted to stay an outsider and prolong the process of getting accepted.”

British artist M.I.A. finally put rumors to rest when she confirmed on Saturday that she is pregnant with her first child. “I’m creating a baby,” the singer, 31, told Pitchfork Media. The news came on top of the success of her single “Paper Planes.” “When I found out I was pregnant and ‘Paper Planes’ was in the iTunes top 10, it seemed like the whole world was reshuffled in one week, and all my plans went out the window,” the artist said. “I’ve got two kids, that’s what it feels like. And that’s the lesson – you can’t make plans.” She and fiancé Ben Brewer, lead singer and guitarist of The Exit, did not reveal when the baby is due or the gender, but they made sure their fans knew they are serious about having a child. “I got engaged first, then I got pregnant, kids,” M.I.A. said. The singer also told Pitchfork she’s recording some tracks for her new album, a follow up to 2008’s Kala. But before she gets started on any new projects, she has to go on a different kind of tour. “I have to do the rounds – go see my family and show them the belly.”
