Portishead Makes Triumphant Return to Sounding Like Portishead
1. Portishead, “Silence”
These guys haven’t released an album since 1998. But they’re back! And they sound more or less the way they did in 1998. [Nocna Hudba]
2. Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood, “Dear Mr. Fantasy”
Winwood and Clapton played a Blind Faith reunion on Monday at Madison Square Garden, after which both, presumably, reunited with their chiropractors. [Inrumford]
3. Hadouken!, “Get Smashed Gate Crash”
In the classic Capcom video game Street Fighter II, hadouken! was the sound you heard just before being hit in the face by a fireball. Seems like an appropriate name for these guys. [Badical Beats]
4. Say Hi, “Toil and Trouble”
Formerly known as Say Hi to Your Mom, these guys are a lot less specific these days about whom they send their greetings to. Fortunately, they still sound the same. [Here Comes the Flood]
5. Willie Hustle, “Money Dance”
Up-and-comer Willie Hustle proudly guarantees that “if you don’t like this shit, you don’t like money.” So, we are ambivalent about money. [Notes From a Different Kitchen]
6. Liam Finn, “Second Chance”
Finn tears down the house on Letterman with this raw performance of his new single. Watch the video for his Inigo Montoya “I’m really left-handed” moment. [Culture Bully]
