So I'd been avoiding this new Sundance Channel music series since the artists on the first batch of shows have been pretty blah. But I TiVOed this episode to see what Massive Attack might be up to (and, yes, for Dr. John as well, who I have a soft spot for from being an ex-New Orleanian). And boy am I glad I did, for the sheer joy of seeing the band do "Teardrop" with Liz Fraser in attendance providing vocals. It's easy to forget how great this song is since it opens (the, in my mind, highly-overrated TV show) "House" every week. Massive Attack put in two other songs from Mezzanine on the show, "Angel" and the title track. Those clips are easy finds on YouTube as well.
Hungry for some new Massive Attack material? Weather Underground is apparently still being finished up and will hopefully be out soon.

Quality.I actually like House, but you're probably right that it's overrated. But it's the one show where I never FF through the theme song!
