<<<Must admit the tracks from the new Portishead album sound great and I
never ever thought I would get into them, but will probably get that
next week.>>>
 
I saw them a couple of weeks ago - they were fantastic.  Sound better
live than on record (which is a rare thing, I think).  Played enough of
the old stuff to satisfy - Cowboys was enormous and tasty.  From the new
album, Machine Gun with its industrial drumming was bloomin' marvellous.
I left the venue wishing I could go back in and see it all again.
 
Cheers,
Janean

Couldn't agree more too much predictable stuff about and music aimed at
the studenty scene. Part of the problem for me is that since Peel passed
away I don't perhaps pick up on stuff quite so well.  Seem to spend more
time filling in gaps although recently got into Southern Culture on the
Skids and Dead Sixities.  The former did loads in the 90's but is still
about.  Still can't get away from the old punk scene and hunting for
stuff I haven't got.  Also now only need two Fall albums for the set
plus the new one on Monday.

	Hey hey. I hate to start sounding like a crusty old curmudgeon,
but I've got a bit of an issue with modern music.
	
	Seems anymore I'm always falling back on old standards when I
throw on the stereo. 
	
	(Kj, Stranglers, The Fall, Wire, Ian Dury). 
	
	Maybe it's just me getting older, but nothing really kicks me in
the plums anymore. Seems like most 'music' these
	
	days is just sterile, unimaginative, and as threatening as a
baby. I don't get alot of this 'Folk Rock', like 
	
	Iron and Wine, Devandra Barnhart, etc. Oh, don't get me wrong,
I'm not a closed minded twat, it's just that there's 
	
	very little out there that's striking the anvil, so to speak.
	
	SO gatherers, I do trust your opinions, and taste, so I ask you,
what's out there anymore? What's new that's been
	
	floating your boat? The last few good things i've dug into are:
Mogwai, Thievery Corporation, 
	
	Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, Polysics, and the new Firewater
record (Todd Ashley - ex Cop Shoot Cop)
	
	Thanks for letting me ramble..................
