Bummerhop Revisited

The first time I saw Portishead live was in 1997. I guess ten years really does fly by, because I was 17 years old then, and worshipped the entire musical output of Bristol. So yeah, that does pretty much mean I was a trip-hop fan - though I will now call the disgustingly named musical genre bummerhop instead. Anyway, it seems they are back with another delicately titled album: “THIRD”. Portishead are scheduled to appear on the main stage at Coachella on Saturday April 26, 2008, which promises to be a wonderful performance of slit-your-wrist music (and really, isn’t that your favorite kind?). Portishead are: Geoff Barrow, Adrian Utley and Beth Gibbons.
