Hot Fire!

About Me

Hello There!!
The Porter Report is an ongoing series of reports from the front line of popular culture, presented by professional chancer and well known lay about Russell Porter. Starting life amid the UK's thriving festival scene, the Reports have taken in chance encounters on the Camden Crawl and partied in the car park at Latitude Festival, lurked behind the scenes at the Nationwide Mercury Prize and propped up the free bar at London Fashion Week, just so we can bring you lucky buggers fresh insights into new music and chats with those responsible for making it.
****BEHOLD THE "BEST OF" BELOW****
As promised before the feast of Saturnalius, here at last are the "Best Of" episodes we've cobbled together from last years expeditions. There's about an hours worth of waffle so i'd suggest filling a kettle or, if you're of a more nervous disposition, loading up a handkerchief with Ether before viewing. Whatever you do, make sure you watch the last episode and bathe in the near spiritual glory of "The Montage"
****THE NEXT STEP****
We've been sworn to secrecy, but things are both big and, um, a gwan... as they say. Once the teas are dotted and the eyes are crossed I'll let you know wha' appen but basically 2008 is gonna be a very busy year for us, and as always we're hoping to rely on your patronage people.
