Thanks to Jessica Suarez at Pitchfork for directing us towards a video of the recent Portishead show in Bristol that set the internet a blaze with rumors of the band’s new album (again).

Sunday brought a wonderful set of circumstance for me - long story short I was reminded about someone I should have never forgotten about, that man being Mr. Wesley “2 Scoops” Berry. It wasn’t WWE or UFC or boxing that made American Gladiators obsolete, it was 2 Scoops - the man who put every [...]

Have you ever seen a music video (more than likely from the 1980s) which you wondered “Hey, I think I could’ve financed this?” Well, thanks to Paris’ Prototypes we now have something modern to admire in this same light. So don’t be afraid, fall in love with cheap music videos all over again!

Had I known that Will Oldham was as remarkable a character a year or two ago I would have had the foresight to jump on his bandwagon when the indie rock elite were praising his every step. After his appearance on Wonder Showzen and his stab at stand up I think it’s fairly safe [...]
