This collabo fitted is the first in a series of limited edition 59fifty’s between New Era and Zune. I’m really feeling the all over mpc drum machine pattern. The hat may set one back at $125, but the quality is really beyond compare. And being a big fan of packaging, the limited edition box kinda helps relieve the thought of paying so much. Make the leap to see more in depth photos of this fitted.

I’ve been waiting for the news of a Portishead release for years. Finally! Dr. Dre, this reminds me, when are you going to finally release Detox? This is even more exciting for me than waiting for Radiohead’s In Rainbows box set back in December!
The announcement on www.portishead.co.uk states the new album will be dropping on April 14th 2008. The album is titled THIRD. Yeah, not the most creative album title, but its Portishead. The album contains 11 tracks and is 49 minutes 13 seconds long.
Portishead made such a big musical impact on me back in 1994. If Hip-Hop is the reason why I’m obsessed with my MPC, then Portishead is the reason why I got into sampling & electronic music in such a big way. Beth Gibbons, Adrian Utley & Geoff Barrow are truly genius in my book.
For those of you needing to catch up on this iconic group check out the Live: Roseland New York (CD & DVD), Portishead(2nd album), and the legendary Dummy. Sorry Tricky but their use of the Isaac Hayes loop on Glory Box still takes the cake of one of the best use of that sample!
Until the release, you’ll find me watching the Live: RoseLand New York DVD for the 20th time and counting! I still remember the look of disgust of the lady on my flight back from New York. I was watching their award winning short film-To Kill A Dead Man. Serves her right for looking at my screen, and continually getting up to go to the bathroom.
