All right, for months now we've had a sneaking suspicion that, when pressed on what their humpiest music would be, Nerve readers would put the Portishead ouevre on top of the list. It's what we expected you to say after we ran this. And while we hinted at it here, we fully expected more of you to come right out and and be all like "Hells, yeah!" and make it official. But few did. And now look -- the goddamned Village Voice has scooped us on this.
Judging by the volume of Nerve.com personal-ad types who list them as
preferred getting-it-on music (and please don't ask how I know this),
Portishead have soundtracked a whole lot of horny but socially awkward
and tentative encounters.
All right, well, we're guessing per capita they haven't been quite as awkward as this guy seems to think, but whatever. So, what say you? Any other bands come close to being as Nerve-y as Portishead? Tell us in the comments. Seriously, TELL US!!!
(By the way, the VV loves the new record, Third, which has been leaking all around the Internets in an unfinished state.)
