Sasha Frere-Jones has a wonderful write-up of Portishead's brilliant third album, Third, in this week's New Yorker. By all means obtain it; it puts lie to the notion that trip-hop is merely dinner party music for over-literate yuppies (and yet you can still eat to it). Above, find a live rendition of the band's biggest hit, "Sour Times," circa 1998's Roseland NYC Live.
