@AlicejustMay Everyone over a certain age would qualify as an alkie at some time in their life, nowadays, they keep changing the goalposts!! I *think* I know what you mean about being trapped in Oldham - but perhaps it's just my own awful past I'm thinking of...
I remember watching 'To Kill A Dead Man' late at night many, many years ago. Strange but interesting. Still, I cannot understand why Portishead were never asked to do a Bond theme song.
@lucathequietone That's a really interesting thought - maybe they were thought a bit too weird, or not quite mainstream enough. I'm not sure how they choose, really.

Oh, wow... this album... a 3am-er if ever there was one. Conjures up the sense of being trapped in Oldham; drinking being the only way to get out.

Bloody hell, that makes me sound like an alkie.

@lynn200 Agreed. And Beth Gibbons is a better actress than most singers in videos, too.
