The song that killed Prince and broke the Internet

This is the song that killed Prince and broke the Internet.   Nothing Compares 2 U by the ever entertaining Marc Lowe, part-time professional musician and full-time genius.  This track can be found on one of the 50 albums he has released in the past 48 months.  Look for it in the best seller bin at any major record shop.  




The Internet has this to say about this cover version available only (Thank God!) on Dark Shroud Records, a CD-R burning sweat shop located in some Fukuoka slum:  
  • "Sounds like he was going for some sort of Bowiesque meets Slowcore affectation. I can’t believe I listened to the whole thing."   
  • "I listened to the whole thing because it was so... nothing. I was so bored by it I forgot I had it on lol"   
  • "Hahahaha!"   😂😂😂   
  • "The UriTenpo Movement can’t believe it either! Hope you don’t have PTSD from it... Prayers and hopes!"   
  • "I wanna earn enough karma to share his Jeff Buckley cover."   
  • "He has actually covered the whole Low album. It's on youtube. It's really really bad."   
  • "Vocals sound like a warped record. Love the fact he managed to pick the same line for every instrument. Good (bad) work there Mr Lowe."   
  • "Covers less original than originals complemented with less than original originals seem to be this guy’s MO"   
  • "Have you seen his homepage/youtube channel? It's like the documented midlife crisis of a terminal narcissist."   
  • "My therapist advises me against doing so"   
  • "His facebook is amazing. He has a shrine to himself in his apartment, consisting of lots of CD-Rs with pretentious selfies on the covers, displayed on stands."   
  • "I feel like there was an idea that might have sorta kinda worked if the performance was better and the music wasn't so boring."   
  • "That idea would more and lightly be an unbutchered element of the original song."  
  •  "Your mixing skills are trash, your vocal skills are trash, your instrumentation is trash and your attitude is trash."   
  • "You need a reality check, man."
