#63: "Recognize the poison in my heart"

#63.



The Single: Machine Gun
The Artist: Portishead

With one of my favorite beats of the year, one of my favorite groups of the 90's creates one of my favorite albums of 2008. "Machine Gun" is the lynchpin of Third, a swirling mess of a pop song behind an assault of percussion. All the while, Beth Gibbons wails away. Is her voice a siren song or a cry for help? It's beautiful chaos, people. Drink it all in.
