The Streets

[bovine]

Does anyone else here like (or know of) The Streets (aka Mike Skinner)? They're one of the best new bands I've heard for a while. I would especially recommend "The Irony of it All" and "It's Too Late" if you can find those to d/l.

i've heard some of their songs before from my friend's brother. i got a good laugh out of it at first (it came on directly after coldplay so i thought it was coldplay rapping as a joke), but it actually wasnt bad. I think i'll run off and do some downloadige.

I personally think The Streets are pants

"don't mug yourself" is a good example of this.

i heard "let's push things forward" and dug it.

i heard his single and seriously could not stop laughing. it took me awhile to realize he wasn't joking.

I have "Original Pirate Material." Impulse purchase after everyone said it was the greatest thing that year.
It's not bad, a couple of the tracks were pretty cool ("Let's Push Things Forward" and the last track whose name escapes me are two I can remember as being good.) It's just that I was never that big of a hiphop fan, and was sort of expecting something different. What that different was, I cannot tell you.

I'll probably go dig it out again and give it another listen once I can find the area of my bedroom floor that houses all of my CDs.

It's good to know that some others have at least heard of them.

I like The Streets a lot... The Irony of It All is my favorite.

[Blister]

Yes, pants.

I'm not even going to start this again

(Pants = bad.)
