Portishead Come Out Of Hiding, Hit Studio

Man, Portishead. Whenever the topic of mid-’90s soul-flavoured trip-hop comes up (what? what do you talk to people about?) the name Portishead is sure to be mentioned. It seemed like if anyone could break the restrictions of the electronic music fad and have a lasting career to match their lasting influence, it just might’ve been this particular somber-minded group — then they decided not to do anything for, oh, about a decade.

Well, it looks like Portishead are not only alive and well, they’re about to give it another go around. Co-founder Geoff Barrow recently told a U.K. radio station that the band were already working hard on their third studio LP, the first since 1997’s self-titled disc. According to Barrow, Portishead never officially broke up and even during their eight-years of downtime were hanging out and writing — apparently he was even surprised that people thought they’d split.

Barrow said the members have "had our heads down," but that’s all set to change with the new material nearing completion. Let’s hope it’s up to snuff.

Portishead will officially break their vow of silence when they play at the latest tsunami relief concert, being put on by Oxfam in Bristol, England, next month. They won’t be debuting any of the new stuff, instead sticking with their limited but classic repertoire, with singer Beth Gibbons fronting an acoustic version of the band. Other featured acts include ex-Zeppelin Robert Plant, Liverpool band and critics’ fave The Coral and another classic ’90s band that take their time putting out records, Massive Attack.

Each will play a short set and those of us on this side of the ocean can check it out via a live webcast. Bookmark the concert website for more information.

Anyone from here, heading to this show at the Iron Horse?

Ryan, can you email me?

While driving into work this morning, Kirk Muller, was being interviewed on Kingston's K-rock. The reason for the interview is that he is organizing a 3-on-3 hockey tournament in February. Now I must say that I don't have too many details about the actual tourny other than there will be a bunch of current and ex-NHL'ers such as Kirk Muller, Doug Gilmour, Marty Turco, Wendle Clark, Joe Nieuwendyk, i think i heard Dale Hawerchuk....anyways you get the idea. He mentioned that anyone can put a team in the tournament as well. Towards the end of the interview he said that 3 of the guys in the hip plan on playing, but he didn't mention which 3....but then he went on to say that he hopes Gord will be in net, and that he better wear a neck-guard.

The tournament is taking place in behind city hall on the weekend of the February 19th....should be a good time.

If i could skate, i would love to put a team in and take shots on Gordie.

Joe.

The boys are currently sitting at #7, while the debut CD from the Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir has been #1 for over a week. Very cool! Has anybody heard Hugh's album yet? I'd be interested in hearing some reviews. Apparently it's not available in stores yet, so I ordered myself a copy today. Can't wait til it arrives!

anyone have a live version of coconut cream, it has to be one of their greatest songs to not be played anymore, and my personal favorite.

There’s a Metro-Detroit news story regarding Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick that’s been developing over the last week that is almost unbelievable. It escalated to new heights (or lows) Tuesday when Kilpatrick ordered a “security” person to hold back WXYZ-TV investigative reporter Steve Wilson who had followed Kilpatrick to Washington DC in an attempt to get an answers to legitimate questions after the Mayor had successfully avoided him by sneaking out back doors for almost a week. The security guy promptly man-handled Wilson away from the Mayor and bounced him off a wall into a nearby door.

If you don’t go any further, at least watch this video.


For those interested in the full text, follow the links at the end of this post. In the meantime, here’s the background and key points:

Background:

• Kwame M. Kilpatrick is the youngest mayor in the history of the City of Detroit, as well as the youngest mayor of any major U.S. city, ever.
  
  Before his election as mayor in 2001, Kilpatrick was the first African American in the history of Michigan to lead any party in the Legislature.
  
  He’s often referred to as the “Hip-Hop Mayor” because of his youth and penchant for oversized diamond ear-studs.
  
  Kilpatrick has degrees in political science and law, is a certified teacher, and was captain of the Florida A & M University football team while he attended school there.

Key Points:

• With the city of Detroit in dire financial straits and hundreds of workers facing layoffs and pay cuts, nearly $25,000 in city tax dollars have been spent to lease a 2005 Lincoln Navigator for just 12 months.
  
  This comes after the mayor's appearance on television, when he told the people of Detroit that: "...these are difficult times and they demand sacrifice, creativity, and cooperation."
  
  Despite promises to provide details, the mayor’s office put up a stone wall, apparently to scurry for a strategy behind the scenes.
  
  The City of Detroit requires Mayoral purchases over $25,000 to be approved by the Detroit City Council. The lease annual price of the cherry-red Navigator is $24,995.
  
  The Mayor’s office initially denied the existence of the Navigator until it was located and filmed by WXYZ-TV. When the vehicle was found, the Mayor’s office explained that it was purchased for undercover narcotics investigations, even though it was equipped with flashing police lights in the grill and underbody, had a license plate registered to the City of Detroit, and the Mayor’s office is not authorized to purchase vehicles for police use.
  
  Prior to ordering the man-handling of the dogged reporter, Kilpatrick repeatedly said “Live, anytime” in response to Wilson’s question yet has still not responded to WXYZ-TV’s invitation to appear live, anytime.

First Story
Second Story
Third Story

WXYZ-TV's news director says they will probably seek assault charges against the "security" guy, a longtime friend of Kilpatrick's who was released from duty a few years ago following other inappropriate behvior but quietly re-hired six months later.
