Portishead

Although this album (Third) came out a while back, I didn't give it a second thought - Trip Hop is so boring - It's like listening to your Mum's record collection. Kenny had it on in the studio yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised by this track . I'm a sucker for a song with a skronking trumpet, even if it's just been cut and pasted into the song like a little rap in a pop song. The album is all pretty listenable. Kind of like a light jazzy pop album. Sounds like I'm damning it with faint praise, but I'll probably buy it. 

Damon Albarn and Michael Nyman

From the Ravenous Soundtrack. Boyd's Journey is my favorite. Damon Albarn and Michael Nyman - who'd have thought. There are some nice songs so it's worth hunting down. I'll check out the movie too: a comedy about cannibals.
