Listen to music from Geoff Barrow of Portishead's new band Beak>
What the f-ck is this you ask? Peep the plug:
"In September modern popular music group BEAK> are traveling on a diplomatic mission to the United States to rebuild the special relationship between our two great countries - they will do this by performing music in several cities and returning to you the multinational companies McDonalds Wall Mart and Krispy Kreme Donuts, then in return we will take British Petrolium and their oil spill back to the United Kingdom shore's to be dealt with by the proper authorities, the government of her royal highness the Queen of England."
Or in short, BEAK> is Geoff Barrow of Portishead with Billy Fuller of The Moles and Matt Williams of Team brick. Yeah, I'd never heard of them either. This was posted on the stength of the Barrow x Portishead connect.
Y'all dig? Then BUY the album HERE...

Malachai - Snowflake (Geoff Barrow Remix)
Been meaning to post this forever. Don't really know who Malachai is but they managed to get Portishead's Geoff Barrow to remix the "Snowflake" single from their Ugly Side of Love album and that's kind of a big deal!

Music Video: Portishead – Chase The Tear
Now THIS is perfect for a grey, chilly and damp Sunday!
"Portishead are releasing a brand new track - "Chase the Tear" for Amnesty International.
The track will be aired first in the UK on Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1 show (7-9pm) on 9 December on the eve of international human rights day (10 December) and similarly on radio stations around the world.
It will be available as an exclusive download single from 7 digital from 10 December, with all earnings going towards Amnesty’s human rights work and all rights given to the organisation.
A video of Portishead performing "Chase the Tear" will also be available from 10 December at: www.amnesty.org.uk/portishead and at www.portishead.co.uk (or just click play above since I'm late, d'uh!).
International human rights day (10 December) marks the anniversary of the United Nation’s historic “Universal Declaration Of Human Rights” on 10 December 1948. The UDHR set out for the first time in a single document the fundamental rights to which everyone, everywhere is entitled - including the right to life, liberty, security, the freedoms of opinion, association and expression, and the right not to be subjected to torture or cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment (For more information: www.amnesty.org.uk/udhr)
"Chase the Tear" is a reference to a paper tear-style “tear”, not a tear from an eye!"
