>>>M.I.A. was all “nobody loves me so maybe I’m going to do something else” after this year’s Bonnaroo. But remember how when you were at the movies a few weeks ago and were like, “Is that ‘Paper Planes’ playing in the background of this Pineapple Express trailer? How strange!” Turns out that attaching yourself in any way to the Judd Apatow octopus that Hollywood has become finally cracks that wall between you and mainstream consumers, and you tell Entertainment Weekly that you’re gonna roll on back to what you love. The song’s not even on the soundtrack! But you’ll have Apatow to thank if you get to shake your ass with M.I.A. at the Armory again. [EW]
>>>Philly genre-benders King God are back in appropriately transmuted form as Human People. They will people Old City/NoLibs with shows this weekend with a First Friday performance at the Deep Sleep boutique, and at Liberty Lands Park for Saturday’s Northern Liberties Music Fest. [MySpace]
>>>Local hardcore boys Paint it Black get props on the Los Angeles Times‘s music blog for driving Angelenos into a furious mosh like its 1983 at last weekend’s F Yeah Fest. No, we’re not gonna tell you what the F stands for. [LATimes]
