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.

“I am most proud of my integrity and least proud of my cynicism.” Chloe Sevigny

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:

Hudson Mohawke

... 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.
