I was talking to my good friend from France, Vincent, the other day and he did me two favors in one.  He recommended I listen to Portishead and sent me a link to do so at www.deezer.com.

When I first opened the site I thought it was going to be like an Amazon.com where I get to hear a short sample of the music and not really get a good idea of what it is all about.  That was not the case.

I listened to the entire Dummy album by Portishead and am now a Portishead fan.  If I had a dollar to my name I would run out and buy their newest album.

Some out there may be asking how does Deezer do it?  I don’t know.  But if I can go to a record store and listen to an entire album I should be able to do it online.

Thanks Vincent!  And thanks Deezer and Portishead!
