Music to the People!
Once again a famous music artist has made their music available through unconventional and more friendly ways. This time it's Portishead's turn, with their latest album entitled *Third*, a work which has been in the making for eleven years now, and promises to be another surprising but brilliant musical achievement.
Ok, so the new album is still only available on its own via the normal routes (*iTunes*, *Amazon*...), but there is also a collectors box set available at their own shop, which includes vinyls, artworks, and of course the album itself, but not as a CD. With purchase of box set, the album is delivered, along with video footage, on a customized - a white letter P - 1GiB USB drive. This in itself is interesting, and on top of selling the album on an unconventional music support, this seems to imply that burning it to CD is authorized.
What's more interesting though, is the fact that as of the 21st of April, the album was entirely available streamed from the ever wonderful **Last.fm** as part of an exclusive deal. This isn't the first album to be totally and freely available to listen to on *Last.fm*, but it is a first for such a well known artist.
Thumbs up to *Portishead* and *Last.fm* on this one!
