Well this is a little impromptu... but as things have been going lately I'll be coming BACK to finish this post a little later. Right now Hype Machine wants my URL :) I initially wrote that I wasn't pleased with music this year. Then I realized I was just in a god awful mood and remembered the boat loads of albums and singles that I loved this year! Suddenly there were more and more albums ...

This feature appears in Wireless Bollinger . It begins as if it never ended. A vocal sample crackles, cryptic as ever, as a man speaks in Portuguese: "Beware of the rule of three. What you give will get back at you. This lesson you must learn. You only get what you deserve." So begins Portishead's Third , released a decade after the band's last record. And although it starts with a prophe...

Portishead have succeeded! When you thought they couldn’t become any more dour than they were on their two previous albums, along comes their comeback, Third. It seems they have been listening to Nine Inch Nails and industrial rock which shows up as a harder edge in their new songs. But there is no question: this album is truly great.Portishead — multi-instrumentalist/producer Geoff Barrow,

.Some ten years after their last formal release, trip-hop pioneers Portishead are releasing their fourth album, cleverly named Third, on April 14.Its hard to explain just how BIG Portishead's Dummy was back in 94/5 in the UK. It seemed that almost every track from their début album was used on almost every TV trailer, and still people couldn't get enough....

Those of you that were on here at this time last year remember all the talk of MOGachella, how so many of us would congregate there. A lot of you did.

... will be on infinite loop in mind for a looooong time. This will be the music-based enduring memory from Coachella 2008, for me at least.Picture, if you will, burrowing your way to the second row of the main stage at Coachella, and witnessing a fantastic set by Kraftwerk.Then, then stage is set for Portishead to arrive, which they do clad in black. Black would also well describe the hearts o...

I love the lo-fi goodness of Portishead's latest opus, Third. At a time when most bands are trying to sound slicker, glossier and more robotic, P-head keeps it real with gritty production, old-school drum machines and raw vocals. The videos thus far have also embraced lo-fi production techniques that beautifully blend with the music. Check out the latest vid for "Magic Doors": Stereogum has...

Returning after more than a decade of hiatus, Portishead will release their aptly-titled third album, Third.The album was originally slated to hi...
