(Priscilla Hernandez) I reviewed her record last year and it even made my best of 2007 list. But I probably didn't post anything about it because I always feel like I am trying to "pimp" my site when I do that. But if anyone is interested: Here's the review: http://www.collectedsounds.com/cdreviews/ancientshadows.html Here's her spotlight: http://www.collectedsounds.com/spotlight/priscillahernandez.html I thought I suggested her to Ecto when I mentioned Sleepthief, Blue Stone, Feathermerchants, etc...but I might have accidentally left her out. Anyway, I'm glad she's getting more exposure, she's great! Yay! ~Amy ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2008 11:27:19 -0400 From: "Paul Blair" Subject: Re: One thing led to another and...

It's a nice study in romanticization: http://yidneth.livejournal.com/76174.html For me, the "Willow's Lullaby" video there calls to mind what Craig said in his review about her Andrew Lloyd Webber tendencies. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2008 21:08:58 -0400 From: "Karen Hester" Subject: After a Decade Away, Portishead Floats Back http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/13/arts/music/13pare.html quote: "And on April 29 Portishead releases "Third" (Mercury/Island), its third studio album and the sequel to "Portishead," from 1997. "Third" is more polymorphous, more extreme, more propulsive and often harsher than previous Portishead albums. Instead of mellowing with age or returning to a signature sound, the band has fractured and splintered that sound, plunging even deeper into loneliness and anxiety. "Third" is unlikely to become fashionable background music; it's too bleak, too daring, too exposed. As if alluding to the band's 10-year absence, the first song on the album is called "Silence." Ms. Gibbons sings, "Empty in our hearts/Crying out in silence/Wandered out of reach/Too far to speak."
