What you say No-one has reviewed Sunshowers by M.I.A. yet. Give us your opinion on Sunshowers by M.I.A.. What we say This record left our Brian feeling happy. M.I.A. is a lady originally from the Middle East as far as I can remember & decamped to London to begin a career as some kinda dancehall diva & has been snapped up by the usually canny (see above) XL. Now this is pretty good. It utilizes the refrain from the Um Bongo commercials of my childhood & is nice 'n' summery, chilled & bouncy. Called "Sunshowers" it is. Now I feel the need to vent my frustration here. I heard a song by her 6 months ago on Radio 1 called "Galang". Then nothing. Can't find it ANYFUCKINGWHERE!!!! It was supposed to come out on Showbiz but never surfaced. Even got a review in Vice! Where is it? I want my copy of that now! Someone help me..... AAARRGGH! In the meantime we'll have to make do with this which isn't quite as good (but still a damn sight better than what's to follow...)....Harumph....

About the humble 12":

The 12" is the big brother of records as it's an fatter version of the 7", with a vast scope for an array of remixes and B sides. They are slightly less portable their smaller inched brethren but they're by no means inferior. Often the grooves are spaced wider apart and thus sound much much better. You can fit ample tracks on and if worse comes to worse they make fine plates (should your crockery go awol). Yes, there's a hole but holes are easy to sort out. Once again they're available on many different colours and guises. The best thing about a 12" is the potential vastness of the artwork. Also playable on many speeds!!
