  • I’m not a fan of his and agree that what he did there was extremely shitty and self-centered, but do we actually have reason to believe he has clearly not changed?

    I don’t keep up with the guy, but I do know that people can change. Especially so after being publicly humbled, as well as after a decade+ has passed. Then there’s also the public journey of experiencing such grand fame so young and then having to outgrow his welcome. For better or worse, these things all leave marks.

    Literally everyone I know has said something insensitive or otherwise regrettable at one time or another, and I’d be willing to bet all I’ve got that you have too. That’s just part of the deal, right? It’s not that I’m arguing his sainthood or anything, but without evidence that he’s exactly the same now as he was then, I’m a bit bristly on the thought of judging a stranger on such absolute terms.














  • Adrian Younge! He makes hip-hop inspired jazz with legends from both genres and cites Portishead as one of his most beloved inspirations.

    There’s also Supreme Beings of Leisure, who were lesser known contemporaries of Portishead. Lots of similarities here, but they generally explore a wider breadth of feels besides depressive longing, and their sound definitely reflects that. One of my personal all-time favorite bands, these guys. Right up there with Portishead!

    Edit: Mazzy Star also comes to mind for their shared tone. More of a stripped down sound in comparison, and they lean more toward bluesy folk, alt rock, and occasionally gaze than triphop, but their lyrics should have a familiar feel to Portishead fans. They might be a bit disimilar on the surface, but they share a lot of the same spirit once you pop that hood up.



  • Mr. Purrrty, Vengeful Keeper of Melons
    Cost: 2 colorless mana, 1 white mana, 1 green mana

    Vigilance, Lifelink, Ward 1

    When Mr. Purrrty enters, create a 0/1 melon token with “you may tap this card for one green mana. When you do, create a 0/1 melon token with this same effect”

    Whenever one or more melons you control leave the field, put a +1/+1 counter on Mr. Purrrty. Whenever one or more melons enter the field under your control, you may move one +1/+1 counter from Mr. Purrrty to any other creature you control. Each of these effects can only be activated once each turn.

    Melons you control have Ward 1.

    Power: 1 / Toughness: 2
