Coming from skateboarding videos and the like, acclaimed filmmaker Spike Jonze has always had an interest in quick one-offs and quirky side projects. This week, for VBS.TV — a broadband internet television site from the publishers of Vice magazine, launched in March and updated with 20-30 minutes of original content a day — Jonze offers up a video diary of a lovely day in London recently spent with M.I.A.

Spread out over six short episodes, Jonze and his handicam hook up with Maya Arulpragasam, aka M.I.A., and travel around London talking about everything from immigration and the third world to iPod battles and Maya’s new haircut, which was given to her by a ketamine-addled Polish man. Spike and Maya also make a visit to her friend Afrikan Boy (the first signing to her new Zig-Zag record label), and later have a dance-off in the street outside Maya’s house. Jonze, the Creative Director of VBS.TV, looks to continue this series with an equally candid profile of Kanye West next week. For the piece, click here.
