What Type'a Ill Type'a Tricks Do The Mask Do?

Currently listening to: Portishead - Portishead


I, for the first time in months, feel overwhelmed by the amount of music I'm trying to absorb. I thought I'd beaten this. Guess not. Mmm, enjoyable solution.

Today I listened to Bjork (b-day present from my sister), Bowie, Guided By Voices, Nirvana, Tom Waits (opened on Sunday), Spoon (opened on Wednesday, b-day present from sister), The Pixies, and Portishead, all to deal with my feeling of overwhelmedness. Next up is Beck.

In other news, The Coup's Steal This Album is not as hot as I remember it being in 10th grade. There are some fine moments ("please don't let 'em fuck with my breathing apparatus" as a chorus: ***/****, ), but things keep being sabotaged by bad skits, bad choruses, or a bad beat. Don't get me wrong; some songs are quality, but sometimes it fails to bring all the elements together.

Oh Portishead, you are night music.
