Score another triumphant moment for the new music model. Ever since Radiohead decided to give away
In Rainbows back in November, it seems world class acts have been finding plenty of opportunities to shock and surprise their fans (see
NIN, Raconteurs, Gnarls Barkley). And while
Portishead isnt exactly giving away their first album in 11 years, they are at least letting their fans in on
Third ahead of its April 29th release date. Starting April 21st, fans will be able to stream the album in its entirety over at LastFM. For more information, visit
Last.fm/music/portishead/third.
In other Portishead news, the band also recently got together to preview new material, a la Thumbs Down. Thats geek speak for in studio performance. The 7 song, 35 minute video is currently available over at
CurrentTV, though we have it below.
