Portishead slag Radiohead
TheBoyDeadly by TheBoyDeadly October 15th, 2007

Portishead's Geoff Barrow has launched a missive in the direction of Radiohead.

The spout, encased within a 'blog posting titled ‘Amy gets caught sober… or some other shit news’, starts as an attack and ends up defending that attack.

En garde:

“So then.......music for free is it? well fuking great. so if you get our album for nothing or very little , does that mean i can get my boiler fixed for free... --------i could tell the plumber that its all for the love of sharing and its to combat the evil money grabbing corperation that is zanussi. ...............im sure he will understand.

"also im not having a pop at radiohead they are fuking good and clever with it. anyways im sure it will all become clear at some point.”

Portishead curate the next ATP event at Minehead in December.
