Teardrop

With Nic's return came the inevitable influx of new tunes on offer. The kid is an encyclopedia of new/old/great music; and this is probably my favourite of his offers to me. I liked Robert Mitchell after hearing him on Gilles' radio show, but I hadn't heard this insane cover, and also found his music really hard to find... because I am pretty novice.

Anyway,
this is a cover of Massive Attack's classic Teardrop... It's incredibly well done, and a real tribute to an already mind-blowing tune.
It's stuff like this that makes music so baffling and incredible to me.

Robert Mitchell 3io - Teardrop:





The original:


And this is an MJ Cole track that my friends Cieran and Jimmy think sounds alike to the aforementioned track. I can see where they are coming from, in a dubstep way.

MJ Cole - Manta:

Ill

I'm ill. And I don't know what else can make me feel better except for....





Sorry I've been MIA for a while, there was Nic's return and Hong Kong. And a serious lack of tunes at the moment. I'm open to suggestions. Love always.
