I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve you, and I don’t know what I’ll do without you

Portishead used to be great. I used to love their songs. I used to love the voice of that singer: Beth Gibbons. It was a long time ago. It took them 10 years to come back, and I’m glad they did, because I love their new album. It’s simply put: magnificent. Portishead’s music still has the same hypnotic feeling I remember from their old songs. Beth Gibbons’ voice is absolutely beautiful.

It took me a while to finally get this album (it’s been there for a while), and I regret I didn’t bought it before. If you still don’t have it, you’re crazy.

Anyway, go read more reviews about this album: at the bbc, at culture bully, at pitchfork. Visit their official site, and their myspace page.

And for the good old times, one great video, Only you

Only you

Those little nasty creatures. I loved them, so I’m glad to see them back again, even if it’s just for an ad for something, somewhere, somehow.

And that reminds me, I better backup my files before one of those little gremlins come by and destroy my pc.

Tool is the greatest band in the world. That’s all I need to say. And sober is one of their amazing songs (and one of my favorites). Oh, and the video is freaky, and so cool. Enjoy!

They are cute and cool, and they can dance (at least that’s what I learned from Happy Feet). But nothin compares to the new kind of penguin that’s recently been discovered.

It kind of makes sense. I know now this animated short was based on true facts.

And if you’re curious about how they did it, check out this behind the scenes video.

Rejected online collects rejected, banned, spoof and most complained about ads and commercials. That’s it, a simple concept, but a great site. I’m sure you’ll love it.

I usually post the artsy stuff over at insomnio.org (now you know, so I hope you visit that site often), but this time, for no reason at all, I won’t.

I just discovered the portfolio site of an amazing illustrator, so I wanted to share it with you, my kind and quiet readers. It’s the portfolio site of Mário Bélem, and let me tell you, it’s full of really cool artwork, both artistic and commercial. So, go there and enjoy.

I’m very excited about the new Portishead album that is supposed to be released in April. That band was really great, and I hope they still are. Actually, I think they still are.

This is the video for Machine Gun, the first single of their new album called Third. I love it, it’s pretty dark and crazy.

It’s been a while since we had some music on this blog, so I thought we could have some today. Something cool, something awesome, some of a favorite of mine. Mr. Buddy. Rich..

From 1971. Pat LaBarbera on tenor, and Jeff Stout on trumpet. The mute Jeff was using started to fall out of his trumpet and Lin Biviano pulled it out. A great arrangement
