Goodness. I really hate that I've missed, or overlooked rather -- a great deal of music over the years. As most of you know, I primarily listen to dance music and electronica. House is my main preoccupation, but thanks to the input of people like songwriter Chris Anderson, I've been sampling trip hop and downbeat much more regularly.

This weekend, I purchased Portishead's self-titled second album. Very haunting -- disturbingly so. This album was released in 1997, but -- seeing as I'm really just discovering the deeper intricacies of trip hop, I highly recommend it!
