If you don't like The Streets, then look away now. Because you are a bellend.Recently saw the mighty Mike Skinner. And it was incredible. He played pretty much the whole of his first album, which just goes to show that he knows good music - even if his 3rd album was pretty poor ('Never Went To Church' was the only one he bothered doing from that, and he mixed it in with a tasty little cover of 'Daddy's Gone' by Glasvegas).
So anyway, I'm going with a Streets theme for the post but I didn't want to put up too much of his actual stuff.
Because that would be theft. And theft is wrong.
Sometimes.
So it's mostly remixes.
More importantly, I have to say that Skinner is immense live. There was one chav in front of me who refused to show any kind of emotion, but I know he was loving it. He thought it was Burberrylicious. He definitely liked the, unfortunately brief, cover of 'Pjanoo' Mike's pianist cooked up. And yes, I can call him Mike. We're basically friends.
Seriously though, I highly recommend getting a ticket for his next gig.
Enjoy.
