Portishead + Hooksexup Personals: “Music To Get It On To”

Posted by Nicole Ankowski



What’s the best music for getting busy? It’s a tricky proposition. Sure, once you’re tight with that irony-lovin’ hipster, the extended remix of “Pour Some Sugar on Me” might be the perfect way to get them on you. But when you’re just getting to know someone, there are endless ways the wrong song can kill the mood.

Tom Breihan over at the Village Voice might have stumbled upon the perfect solution. As he recently wrote:

“Judging by the volume of hooksexup.com personal-ad types who list them as preferred getting-it-on music (and please don't ask how I know this), Portishead have soundtracked a whole lot of horny but socially awkward and tentative encounters.”

We won’t ask how you know this, Tom. Though we can guess…

Here’s “Glory Box” live, right here in NYC, back in 1997:


And here’s a little homemade video. Sadly, no actual glory box is shown:
