^ Yes! And they all speak in French, which, I accept, may not be up everyone's allez. That might be because they are in France, rather than because they are Le Zombie :D Yes, still wonderful - just teasing enough new info each week to keep me…

I'm also not ignoring the other posts above mine but I need to be in a better place myself before i read through them. Hope that makes sense to people and they don't feel skipped over.

I'd never advocate violence of any sort, especially against animals, but I currently have my own personal black dog in a headlock and trying to force a muzzle on him. Frankly, it's a bloody struggle and it's teeth are always sharper t…

Merchandise
My preference? Quirky merch that isn't like you'd get for another band ie the tea towels. On the face of it a bit silly and not very practical but down the line quite a cherished thing. Shirts and sweats are great but sometimes a bit of…

What are you listening to now?
:D It's slow and introspective enough that after not very long you get drawn into it - by the time the final track, "Meditation 6", kicks off you're well away. That one is literally the sound of travelling through space played …

Carl Craig - "Masterpiece" Disc 3 - "Meditations" It's a new three disc set of inspirations, aspirations and most importantly NEW MATERIAL. The new stuff is an hour of long form, downtempo emotion laden introspection and i…

A cream cheese, beetroot & jalapeño roll on granary. May not be exciting in the grand scheme of things but I've decided that the rest of this week needs to focus on the little good things. This roll, mainly due to the pile of jalapeños, is…

What`s the last film you watched ?
Saw "The East" last night and very much enjoyed it. Didn't realise until the cast afterwards that Ridly & Tony Scott had their hands in it. An ex-FBI agent goes undercover to try and break an anarchist collective and things unrave…

Right then, you crazy kids, how many of that army of Frapptopians do you think we can arrange to meet up in one place at one time, before, after or between the two gigs? We've had big crowds before at things like Eden but this could be a record…

I've typed, edited and re-started this post about 6 times if that gives you an idea of the flux in my heat at the mo. I'm sure it'll calm down in the end...... C, I don't mean to invalidate your feelings, but this is such a sma…

There's some lovely folks on here and if I had a hat to hand I'd put it on, just so I could raise it to them. They know who they are. I guess I just had to post that last one of mine in order to let it out. You can only hold your breath f…

How do you feel today?
Real crisis of confidence, mostly caused by this place, hence the lack of posting for a few days. Struggling big time with it, if I'm honest. Just sharing as a couople of folks have messaged me to ask. Thanks :)

Wow. Just wow. Portishead should release a proper Blu-Ray or DVD of this show. It's sooooo good. It really was that good, wasn't it!

ADMIN PLEASE NOTE: Forum issues
On your profile page there's an option for "Quote settings" on the far left where you can choose how much (or not) the system should auto-collapse older quoted quotes. Could that be of use to you?

The Tea thread
Cheers for starting this, HJ - I didn't before as the Tea Cup thread kinda stole my thunder. Admittedly, though, those cups of cookie_munster's in it are just aaaaamazing! I'll stick a mention in for Heath & Heather's "…

Portishead are on the red button now apparently. If you have Virgin you can select the stage and watch it that way too. They're really knocking it out of the park. I forgot the torture Beth Gibbons goes through on stage!

It's not that I misread, it's just that I was defending our community that I have grown so attached to and could not imagine one of us would screw over another for something as silly as hearing an album months before it comes out. Apologie…

People: I apologise. I am hurt and I lashed out when I should not have. You have my sincere apologies. Don't worry, some of us realise this and are happy to make allowances in the circumstances but you have remember that personal confidences …
