What does "karmacoma" mean? This word is mentioned in both the Massive Attack song Karmacoma and the Tricky song Overcome. Is this when your karma goes into a coma? Is it just some made-up word that Tricky likes? Previously asked on Kuro5hin but I figured after 3.5 years someone might have some more light to shed on the subject. Apparently the word appears in a Lost easter egg or something, but I'd prefer not to get any spoilers.

What LA street is Massive Attack's music video for Unfinished Sympathy filmed on? Googling for the answer will come up with Peico Avenue, but neither Google Maps, MapQuest, or Yahoo can find it. Of course, the video was from the early 90s, so maybe the street was renamed?

Trip Hop (or downtempo or whatever): I love Tricky, Massive Attack, Hooverphonic, Portishead, Laika, Lamb, Sneaker Pimps, Martina, etc. What other, new acts have a similar sort of dark, humid and metallic aftertaste?

I know I've heard Massive Attack's song Teardrop in some movie (or a TV ad maybe?), but I can for the life of me remember or find (via Google) where. Any clues?
