Continuing its assault on our Top Stories, the N.E.E.T. label imprint has posted two bits of M.I.A.-related news this morning: 1) that M.I.A.’s new album is named /\/\/\Y/\, self-titled in the most html-phobic way imaginable, and 2) /\/\/\Y/\ ‘s release has been pushed back two weeks, to 7/13/10. More amusing than that LP title is the accompanying announcement graphic, which is a collage of the truncated YouTube embeds that have served to disseminate the album’s wares to date. It’s not all landmines with this one. (via P4K)

She has reached an ultimate level of childish kitch. Totally obnoxious and pretentious, unlike her previous work.
She’s trying hard to out-Gaga Lady Gaga.
