[lala_rawraw]

Sorry, but I love Phead enough to give Beth her own thread. Any Pheads here?

1. Is that pronounced

Pee-heads or feds?

[lala_rawraw]

Beth Gibbons... My dream interview.

3. To be honest, I loved the first album

but never listened to them again, for no particular reason. Feel free to offer suggestions.

5. WHAT... the second album

Is very different... more experimental and has a strange sense of the otherwordly, sad, sexy, even industrial feel to it. Best song is Over.

7. Well if you like Portishead

Then you should definitely check out the electronic music scene. I love it. Of course I love many different genres, electronica just being one. Anyhow, check out Massive Attack, Thievery Corporation, Unkle, Diplo, DJ Shadow, DJ Spooky, DJ Tiesto, ATB, Paul Van Dyk, Meat Beat Manifesto and also Jack Dangers solo, Luke Vibert, Old school MC 900 Ft. Jesus, The Chemical Brothers, Tricky, DJ Armin Van Buuren. I could go on. :)

Take a listen...

14. That's cool

The post was really for democracyindanger. I figured you'd already be into most of what I listed. ;)

10. Some excellent choices there

This reads like my iTunes playlist. Lol, even got the 900 ft. Jesus! :headbang:

[lala_rawraw]

12. yeah, well I did a pirate radio show...

was loads of fun... but too much work and writing is my thing, so had to give it up... yeah, anyone who digs those groups/artists is more than welcome to hang at my house:D

[Elidor]

18. Cool. Is there any beer in the frige?

I'm thirsty. :D

[Maestro]

13. In the 80's I used to buy albums from 900 Ft. Jesus

at VVV Records down in the Oak Lawn district of Dallas. I had no idea 900 Ft. Jesus, aka Mark, was even into recording music. Then one day I walk in, I ask where he is and the employees look at me like I am some sort of dork. "He's hit it big, man!" Blah, blah. I just wish he would consider coming back to the industry. I loved his stuff. Last I heard he still lives in Dallas and he is working on his pilot's license.

[Elidor]

15. He strikes me (through his music anyway)

As someone who probably doesn't find the commercial music industry to be a happy scene. More power to him, whatever he does.

[Maestro]

16. That is precisely why he left.

But given that the Internets (:)) exist, he could put some indie stuff together perhaps and sell directly to the consumer, iTunes and whatnot. Just thinking.... Hell for all we know, he is a member of DU. Hey Mark, you here? PM me. :hi:

4. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Portishead.

Incidentally, I was turned onto them while watching the ORIGINAL John Stewart show on network tv 10ish years ago. He had them on his show as musical guests. I bought their cd the next day. (Dummy)

[lala_rawraw]

6. I am

In complete awe of Beth's voice. Did you see the live in NYC show? She smoked the whole time, jeans, all sleepy. She has this fragility in her voice that makes no sense when you see her tough-hard appearance.

[Madrone]

8. I didn't -

I don't even remember much about when I saw them on John Stewart - looks, band members, anything (:smoke:). I just remember being blown away, and NEEDING the album. I've never seen them perform other than then.

I'm going to have to dig that cd out tonight - I haven't listened to it in a looooooooong time.

[arcos]

11. I am SO GLAD they're releasing a new album...

I just can't wait :cry:

[MrScorpio]

17. I've got 37 Portishead cuts and Remixes

What does that make me?

[lala_rawraw]

19. a P head (wink) n/t
