In news that makes me sick with glee, NME reports that Portishead will perform live in 2008. Not that I'll be there, but maybe, just maybe, it means that they will finally release that long-awaited followup to 1997's Portishead. Heck, it's been 10 years now and each year I read 'Portishead is working on their follow-up.' The anticipation is killing me ...
Here's a video bit from their 1997 Roseland, NYC performance:

The DVD of this Roseland thing is amazing. It almost makes me weep!

Agreed. And the accompanying album is one of my favorite live recordings ever.
I still spin Beth Gibbons' 2002 solo record (with Rustin Man) from time to time -- I thought surely we'd have heard more from her by now too.

I am so going to ATP this Christmas. If anyone tries to stop me, I will bend all the spoons in their house, that'll show them

P4K is now reporting that not only will Portishead come out of its cave in the forest, but Aphex Twin (?!) will perform too (amongst many others). At this pace, my bet is that Dick Cheney or Osama opens the shows.
