JohnnyoftheWell
10.15.23 | great to see that Mort's renunciation of guitar music has been a failed enterprise all along. if you can't hear the darkness and unease in Portishead, you're better off with helium vocalists over skronk-dweedles after all |

10.16.23 | I love PH, but gonna go Kayo Dot on this one, can't think of a more Sput band. Hell, even Toby has an account here. Where's Beth's account? huh?
The video narrative was an experience, you're a madman Johnny (and Jesp?) |
Demon of the Fall
10.16.23 | what kind of logic is that? Portishead not being a traditional 'Sput band' is a win for the community, it address the balance
I mean didn't Boris win last time? Following that up with Kayo Dot is a massive loss for our optics, I'm sorry it just is |

10.16.23 | I listened to 3 choirs of the eye songs and got filtered ahrd lol
1. Portishead |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.16.23 | "what kind of logic is that?"
exactly the same logic for why Floyd winning was an awkward gaff and people voted Boris over Talking Heads the following year lol. Portishead have much more of a site-specific following than TH or Floyd, so them winning is hardly the bland eyeroll either of them was/would have been, but by that logic the optics here are still v much sput doing sputthings (as should be) and this
>is a massive loss for our optics, I'm sorry it just is
is a p cringy pot black/kettle black moment |
Demon of the Fall
10.16.23 | we need to correct this...
'2022: Lost to The Cure in Round 3
2021: Lost to David Bowie in Round 5
2020: Lost to Bjork in Round 3'
I mean those are some tough draws and this appearance in the final feels well earnt, especially as this year's draw has also been tougher than Kayo's overall I reckon. MF Doom had huge momentum and couldn't cause an upset, but would he have beaten Kayo? Quite possibly |
Demon of the Fall
10.16.23 | 'is a p cringy pot black/kettle black moment'
lol, what does this mean? |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.16.23 | it means that throwing a protracted cope over one band's very real sputcore presence while simultaneously bandwagoning for and denying another band's very real sputcore presence is a dork-ass look for Portishead fandom |
fogza
10.16.23 | 1. Portishead |
Demon of the Fall
10.16.23 | calling Potishead sputcore is like calling The National or Radiohead sputcore, so your point is a strange one
people outside of internet music forums have actually heard of these bands. Kayo Dot? Yeah, not so much |
denboy
10.16.23 | 1. Kayo Dot |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.16.23 | as has been established a thousand times over, "sputcore" goes for any band with fandom specific to this site
The National's sput fandom has majorly dwindled and we all got bored of talking about Rh, but the fact that you're already throwing your toys out of the pram over the faintest possibility of Portishead not winning this speaks volumes there |
fogza
10.16.23 | "Following that up with Kayo Dot is a massive loss for our optics, I'm sorry it just is"
isn't it better if kayo dot wins then? the userbase will feel like the winner represents the sputnik niche taste. like internal optics is all that counts here, let's be real (although i'm still voting for PH because i prefer them) |
someone
10.16.23 | Portishead |
Demon of the Fall
10.16.23 | I'm biased of course but idk looking at the previous winners, Portishead would offer better balance I feel
Pink Floyd is looking hella weird come to think of it, especially in a world where KD win. Having Boris and Unwound in there alongside big hitters that aren't so niche (from completely different eras / styles) would be preferable
I mean at the end of the day, none of this shit matters. I just want to be proud (instead of ashamed) of my fellow Sputters, hehe |
AlexKzillion
10.16.23 | pink floyd beating (iirc) talking heads is the only major gaff imo, and that's mostly just cause those were the two artists who made the finals in the first place
one bigger act like portishead vs a tried and true sput darling like kayo dot is the most desirable final this tournament could possibly have imo, regardless of who wins. (boris)/talking heads and (unwound)/bowie follow the same pattern except portishead is def a bit more niche and sput-specific, and overall probably a much more appropriate champion than bowie or talking heads would have been. overall i think this turned out to be the best tournament yet and i don't think either artist winning hurts optics |
