Radiohead's acoustic cover of Portishead's "The Rip"

The above video is from Radiohead's blog. Here is the original song by Portishead. I love it when an artist I really like is a fan of another artist I really like (or something like that).

let the rain come down - it could be sweet

The thoughts that we try to deny - Take a toll upon our lives - Struggle on in depths of pride - Tangled up in single minds - I don't wanna lose, what we had last time your leaving - This life ain't fair - You don't get something for nothing - Turn Back - Gotta try a little harder - It could be...

Radiohead/Portishead

Tell me the story of your fame and fortune, your cloud of distortion

A thread was posted on a message board I visit asking for summer playlists. I am so proud of mine, I thought I would share it. These are the songs you should all be listening to, to be just. like. me. 'Analog Synths' by The Fitness 'Graveyard Girl' by M83 'Throwin' Shapes' by Minus The Bear 'The...

Portishead - The Rip

I love Portishead. Love this.

the bristol massive - vocal art

Portishead - The Rip

Okay this album seems to be amazing. I am weary of downloading it since I heard it's so extremely dark even for Portishead but the two songs I've heard I love and each listen has them seem to get better and better. Check out the uniquely animated video for The Rip off their album Third.

portishead - cant get enough of beths blues

portishead have put the new video to the rip out on-line - go get some if that's your thing - it's art all over

More songs that remind me of other songs (inspired by Portishead's new album)

OK, there are three songs on Portishead's new album, Third, that make me think of others songs. The first song is "Hunter", which makes me think of a song from the 1992 horror movie, Candyman, by Philip Glass called "Face to Razor". Here are the two songs ... The next song on Third is "The Rip",...

New Muzak Review

Utada Hikaru Heart Station A solid album but not as strong as Ultra Blue. Stay Gold is probably my favorite track - a soulful down tempo piece sung over a simple piano & drum arrangement. Probably the most jarring song on the album is Boku wa Kuma (I'm a Bear) - a theme to a children's show that has...

Coachella Day 2 summary

Coachella Day 2 It didn't take long (just a few hours) for today to eclipse yesterday. Overall, a great day! Traffic was really light and we ended up arriving pretty early. Caught a few songs of VHS or Beta on the main stage. They sounded good, like an upbeat and updated Cure. B Then witnessed some...

Listening to "Third"

In June, 1998 I was in Goleta, California at the U.C. Santa Barbara campus attending a workshop on American economic history when I first encountered Portishead. It was the start of my interest in interesting music and free market economics. A rich tapestry, I know.

Tea with Hungry Lucy #113 (Shiny Hammers)

Tea with Hungry Lucy, Episode 113 ends with a performance of "Shine" (originally from the album, "To Kill a King"). This version is just electric piano, hammered dulcimer and Christa's delicious vocals. Rather un-electronic for Hungry Lucy. Before the performance, though Christa goes on a rant about...

Gillian Anderson vs. Beth Gibbons

I saw some photos of Gillian Anderson in Maxim on one of those entertainment shows like Entertainment Tonight or something like that. I actually can't remember which one it was. Anyway, she looks amazing in the photos, and I really liked her character, Scully, on X-Files who tried to be rational and...
