On Friday Mark Ronson responded to the insults hurled at him by Portishead's Geoff Barrow, who accused Ronson of turning decent songs "into shit funky supermarket muzak."

Ronson replied, via his MySpace blog, with a little of his own venom.

Dear Geoffrey

In reference to your blog insulting my "muzak", grow the fuck up and go back to doing what you did in the early 90's--making monumental music. Then maybe, again, your music will be popular enough to be played in supermarkets, like it once was.

Respectfully,
Mark


You know, it must have been an awkward day at recess for these two.

Anyway, Portishead is in the process of mixing their record while Ronson is out on tour.
