Built to Spill cover M.I.A.

By eh

Italian blog Stereogram found this video of Built to Spill performing M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes." For a second before I hit play, I wondered how Doug Martsch and co. would replicate that sample that she uses, before I remembered that the sample is from "Straight to Hell" by the Clash, a rock and roll band, and that Built to Spill is also a rock and roll band with the instruments to replicate that sound. The machine gun sounds, however, they were on their own for.
