Portishead
VIDEO: Raydar Ellis & Quite Nyce in the studio with Geoff from Portishead
Unlike my homie and fellow writer Jerome, I don’t ususally post video diaries, because everybody and their momma has them and the Internets seems oversaturated with tales of Pharrell dancing at McDonald’s or whatever Puff Daddy does. However, I’m only posting this one because it involved Geoff Barrow from Portishead, one of the best beatmakers [...]

Coachella: Prince, Portishead and Sharon Jones Rocked It
Prince rocked Coachella Festival this past weekend in California with a 2 hour set that included appearances from Sheela E. (dayum!) and Morris Day and the Time (wha?). The dude ripped through all of his hits as well as covering “Creep” from Radiohead in what most people are calling the greatest Coachella performance ever. [...]
Portishead on Current TV
I got the Press Release from Current’s people about this last week, but figured it was too good to be true. Maybe its just cause I’m in the States, but it seems this group never gives any live performances. So I took the press release with a grain of salt. But yes, Portishead actually did [...]
Album Preview: Portishead – Third
Is Portishead hip-hop?
That was a topic of a spirited online discussion I had with my friend a few months back. My friend argued no. I said yes.
It it hip-hop in a literal sense. Probably not. The don’t sound like anything close to hip-hop, and they definitely don’t look it. But they take the basis [...]

Review: Gorillaz – Plastic Beach
If it takes us a few listens to really get into the Gorillaz newest album. Can we blame ourselves?
We are forced fed music that is derivative of another. Pop music all sounds the same, with each artist essentially sounding like the one who came 3 months before them. When we hear something as creative and [...]
ALBUM REVIEW: Outputmessage – Autonomous
Washington, DC by way of Queens, NY electronic dance music producer Outputmessage is likely one of the more underrated EDM artists in the genre. The eight year veteran has received terrific acclaim both stateside and abroad for his musically dense but pop trending melodies awakening a sense of early 80s synth pop sounds. However, with [...]
Album Review: Sade – Soldier of Love
While not a masterpiece, in an era where the market has been deluged by a new female soul vanguard that angles increasingly towards pop, Sade remains regal, calm, collected and steadfast, and merely releases the standard bearer album to define the female expression in R & B for 2010.
Sade’s musical legacy lies in her ability [...]

Massive Attack – Paradise Circus
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Tomorrow marks the official release date (U.S. and Canada) for Heligoland, the 5th proper studio album by Massive Attack.
Whereas the 2003 release 100th Window glistened with mechanical accuracy and disciplined minimal techno, Heligoland finds the Bristol duo returning to the dirtier, dubbed out sound of [...]
