Portishead dismiss idea of "free music" and discuss new album

[Stefinitely Maybe]

Kinda lame.

[Lt. Dangel]

yeah, very shortsighted comments.

[bartelby]

if they haven't figured out that pretty much everyone can get their music for free these days anyways, they've been in hiding too long...

maybe if they toured more, he wouldn't be grumpy about his boiler

[Sexecutioner]

yea, exactly, maybe if they toured like a regular band, they wouldnt have to rely on their measly cut of the record sales profits to make money. lazy bitches.

I love Portishead, but those comments put a dent in my interest of them.

funniest post of the day

April...this is good news for a hopeful coachella appearance

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I expect a Portishead set April 25th 2008 on the main stage....

[kreutz2112]

Lets hope...

and just for good measure:





If and when they play "Roads" I might die.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Epic....

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

BTW: kreutz

I fully expect Radiohead to do a date in SLC on the upcoming tour and most likely will attend that one...perhaps you can show us the cool places around SLC? I have only been there once....

[kreutz2112]

I dont know if they will come here. I think they have only played here once, maybe twice? Anyway, if they do come lets hope they play somewhere near the city (not at USANA amphitheater like they did last time). I will for sure show you guys around the town...its not that amazing though.

[MarkO]

They are irrelevant at this point.

[Tylerdurden31]

They are irrelevant at this point.

in regards to what?

[Deviate_420]

THis is why I have always hated , and always will hate Portishead...

Both of these posts are fucking stupid and have no context at all.

According to Ed, they will be playing in pretty much the same places...but that venue in Lehi would be amazing to see them there...Also, SLC may not be amazing but it sure is pretty....at least I thought anyways...it was a toss up between Denver and SLC when we moved out of Las Vegas, my fiance just liked Colorado more...
