I can't wait to hear the new album. I think T was playing Machine Gun the other night and I liked it. We saw Portishead play at the Paramount (I think) many years back.

Quoted: As Portishead finished its meticulously sparse evening performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the typically reticent Beth Gibbons suddenly leapt off the stage and ran a 100-yard dash along the fenced-in crowd, exuberantly shaking their hands. ...

This is interesting because the kid was beat up for wearing a rival rapper's t-shirt. So, it's not like the kid didn't appreciate the lifestyle for himself.
