You never know if the Streets' aka Mike Skinner is messing with you or just taking some major BS out of his arse. Skinner was suppose to WALK to France from the UK, but due to scheduling conflicts didn't at the last moment. Now, Skinnner might be pulling our leg again about his fifth album being his last, despite the fact that the fourth, Everything Is Borrowed, still hasn't even dropped. Skinner doesn't shame away from the fact that the Everything Is Borrowed title... MORE

I got hooked on The Streets with a guilty pleasure of a song called 'Let's Push Things Forward'. Sure, it might not be the deepest song ever to come out, and might be filled with urban culture references, but it still had a feeling of honesty to it that's lacking in a lot of music. Listening to other Streets music left me coming across 'It's Too Late', a song that feels like it was written with actual emotion and experiences behind it. Here's hoping that even if The Street...

So... this is _+NOT+_ my official vacation post... this is a quick realization that I thought would be fun to discuss with all you kiddies ;) Whilst trekking all over London last week, I found myself wanting to listen to anything with a HARD beat...

I don't think I ever appreciated the music loving side of my dad when I was growing up. I guess I was like most kids, thinking that by default anything my parents listened to COULD IN NO WAY be good. But now that it has been almost ten years since my dad passed away, i realize that I owe a large portion of my love for music to him. Dad was an Elvis man for sure. The king was his king. He loved Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison too, artists that I have grown to love as I got ol... MORE

The Streets aka Mike Skinner has run into some glitches while recording his new album and follow-up to 2006's The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living. In a post on his MySpace blog Skinner wrote about the album: “Lost at poker again and just realised that four of my songs aren't good enough, which means losing the alien song AND the devil song. Gutted. We've even got the alien one ready to play live and no-one will ever hear it coz it's too weird … I've now got to write... MORE

Some people don't understand why I like The Streets so much. Mainly, it's because of this album, A Grand Don't Come For Free. This album is essentially just a story covering a phase in a life (Mike Skinner's...though he says it's only based on his own experiences, not completely autobiographical). The underlying plot of the whole thing is the mystery of 1,000 pounds in cash that is lost during the first track, as well as the start (And eventual end) of a relations... MORE
