I do like Nirvana, which only embiggens the disappointment. I saw Pearl Jam on the same festival and they were awesome.
Last month I saw Beth Gibbons (Portishead singer), Metallica twice and went to the Copenhell metal festival (saw too many bands there to mention). This morning I bought tickets to The Flaming Lips. Tonight I’ll be seeing Rammstein. Tomorrow a one-day ticket to the Roskilde Festival with the wife, where I’ll be seeing PJ Harvey, Myrkur, probably Jane’s Addiction and then whatever.
I guess that is a pretty good representation of my taste in music and also an explanation of why I’m broke.
Thanks for taking me on a search journey… to appreciate Beth, and Portishead beyond Dummy. Please do recommend any specific highlights. I’ll be going through their (and her) albums now.
She has only released two albums (there could some she collabbed on that I’m not aware of): Beth Gibbons and Rustin Man - Out of Season and her recent solo album Lives Outgrown.
It’s not as dark as Portishead and the music is more minimalistic, some of it may be closer to acoustic/folk, but she sings beautifully. If you get the chance to see her live, you should go. During the concert they covered a single Portishead song and the tears were literally streaming down my face.
Another tip: If you like Portishead, you should also give the Goldfrapp album Felt Mountain a listen.
what bands do you like then?

thats pretty darn cool
I appreciate your perfectly cromulent use of the word “embiggens”, here.
Thank you
