Oh My God

I recently discovered Portishead's Third.

It's like the old 80s underground, electronic (some), sonic youth, stereolab, and more! So intense, so quiet, so underneath everything and yet still beautiful and estranged and all about the darkness of stars. There is nothing else I've heard recently that makes me think of it. No wonder it's so damned popular.

All this makes me hopeful about music.

That and Gogol Bordello.
