Seemingly out of nowhere, Portishead’s Geoff Barrow took a swipe at Lily Allen producer Mark Ronson on his band’s Myspace blog a few days ago:

“First off Mark fukin Ronson. I think it takes amazing talent to turn decent songs into shit funky supermarket muzak. I also heard he’s remixing Dylan…some music industry tit thinks it needs remixing. You would think he would have the respect to say no to the job, obviously not. What’s the bets on Bob Marley and Nirvana next!!”

The weird thing is, his blog would have been newsworthy without the shit-talking, given that he announced mixing for Portishead’s first studio album in a decade is only a week away.
