07 January 2011Portishead's Geoff Barrow has taken to Twitter to set out a number of rules for the band's next album.

There will be NO street team. There will be NO MySpace. There will be NO celeb producer. There will be NO Twitter. There will be NO press/blogger gig. There will be NO acoustic session. There will be NO meet and greet. There will be NO edited version. There will be NO iTunes-only. There will be NO press launch. There will be NO Asian version. There will be NO radio friendly."
In conclusion, Barrow wrote: "Just music and us."
