  1. Dummy

    #portishead #dummy #bethgibbons #triphop #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #progrock August 22, 1994 ~ English trip-hop artists Portishead release their debut album ... and it's mesmerizing. Alongside Massive Attack's Blue Lines, you could argue it defined the trip-hop genre. Beth Gibbon's haunting and soulful vocals blended with hip hop beats, some errie film noir stuff and vinyl scratches is sublime.

  2. Today's show - Real Spring or No Spring

    Traditionally I've tried to make Friday's a little more upbeat but with George signalling a change in The Weather things went the other way. Played 3/4s of Portishead's Third album, which is unquestionably in my all time top 5 records, it's soooooo tragically miserable, the production I find absolutely outstanding. Love it.

  4. Frauke Finsterwalder – „Sisi & ich“ (2023)

    Ein Film, der es endlich geschafft hat, den furchtbaren Mythos abzuschütteln. Frauke Finsterwalders „Sisi“ lässt die 1950er Jahre hinter sich. Und damit auch das betäubende Erbe, das Ernst Marischkas Trilogie mit Romy Schneider und Karlheinz Böhm aus der Kaiserin gemacht hat. Finsterwalder geht den umgekehrten Weg – sie zieht den Vorhang zur Seite und zeigt mit großartigen Frauen wie Sandra Hüller und Susanne Wolff, was womöglich dahinter verborgen war. Das ist nicht nur verdienstvoll, sondern auch ein Genuss. (ARD, Wh.)

  5. This morning's #workout #music is from Portishead doing Third live. While I would argue that Dummy is one of the most (if not THE most) important records of the #90s, 2008's Third is the one I listen to the most these days. A brilliant revitalization of an iconic act.

  6. Work has commenced on restoring passenger rail services between #Portishead and #Bristol for the first time in 60 years. The scheme will reconnect more than 50,000 residents in North Somerset to the national rail network, with train services scheduled to begin in winter 2028/29.

    Backed by £63 million in #UK #Government funding as part of a £197 million package with the West of #England Combined Authority and North Somerset Council, the project involves upgrading 5.5 miles of existing freight line, restoring three miles of disused railway, and constructing new stations at Portishead and Pill.

    Operated by Great Western Railway, hourly services will connect Portishead to Bristol Temple Meads in around 25 minutes, stopping at Pill, Parson Street, and Bedminster. The reopening is expected to reduce local road congestion and generate an estimated £43 million in annual economic growth for the region.

  7. Adrian Utley from #Portishead talks to Recording The Masters about why he appreciates recording to tape (and #cassette in particular) vs. a DAW. At the end he also demonstrates some #Mellotron -style tape loops on a Yamaha MT4X 4-track cassette recorder.

  8. I used an #llm to help write two scripts to supplement #CLIAMP + @navidrome . One converts a terminal pane in my #Ghostty to display the album art , the other pulls in lyrics and syncs the song time —> to highlight the lyrics text like karaoke. It works for #spotify , too.

    My favorite part: I can run the script with an [option] to display the artwork in 32-bit. #PSX #playstation one style. 😎

  9. Musical Interlude: Argentine-born composer Lalo Schifrin worked in both jazz and classical, but is best known for his work in scoring film and TV, including a number of iconic and familiar tunes. Here's something he did for the show "Mission: Impossible" that was later sampled by Portishead....

    "Danube Incident," composed by Lalo Schifrin, performed by an unidentified orchestra.
