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.

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.

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.

Hong Kong take 1

From Hong Kong;
It's a 36 degree day. Hot. These are relaxing me in the apartment, trying to keep cool.




UNKLE - Loney Soul:


Raphael Saadiq - Go to Hell:

Love and peace!

Assessment is over, and I'm en route to Hong Kong for a four day break. Sleep deprivation is catching up, I can't wait for four days of summer.

This classic track never, ever fails to disappoint.

Joy Orbison - Hyph Mngo:



Check you later

Steeze:

Procrastination

In the form of Monkey News:


You're killing me, Karl. You're really killing me.

All my love.
Finish tomorrow. Hong Kong on Sunday for a few days for a relax.

Love.

... BAD MAN!


But seriously, this is a tune! I just wanna hit up KARMA and fist pump and beat up the beat!


A serious tune.

Hudson Mohawke - Thunder Bay



"Absolute bad man. Rude boy."

I wish I was not in the comfort of my own home right now.
Rude.

In recognition of the current exam/assignment status that my exciting life has become at the moment, I have compiled a few tracks that I study too... I find studying to music is hard, but when I'm on a roll, or just organising my thoughts, I like some background noise. Mostly an old and previously mentioned favourite Thomas Newman.

Anni Rossi - Wheelpusher:


The Books - Smells Like Content:

Efterklang - Caravan:


Morcheeba - Big Calm:

The Whitest Boy Alive - Keep a Secret:


And my favourite scholars D-Day, Otter, Boon, Bluto and Hoover:
