Matt Posted 2 September 2005 Posted 2 September 2005 A few people might have heard this story, its been about for a week maybe 2, you'll find out when you read the story but Mike Skinner did a live lounge at Madai Vale for Jo Whiley and Mike Skinner stole one of the mics and he recored the "A Grand Don't Come For Free" album on it and he has now returned it back to Jo Whiley. I've heard the song a few time I ain't a big fan of rap or street music but I am a fan of the streets and I love this song I used to slag The Streets off, but that was before I actually listened to there stuff and its good! Anyway this is the story... MIKE SKINNER has written a brand new song – which is an apology to JO WHILEY for stealing her microphone years ago.The track, which has The Streets star rapping over Bloc Party’s ’Banquet’, apologies to the Radio 1 DJ for stealing the mic, which he then went on to record the Number One single ’Dry Your Eyes’ with. He raps: “I did something bad but always vowed to my soul / That if my next record increased the amount of albums I sold / enough for Mike not to end up back out on the dole / I promised I’d promptly send you back what I stole.†He continues: “I don’t feel good about it and I don’t want to repeat it / But the mic went pride of place on ’A Grand Don’t Come For Free’.†The song is currently circulating online. Skinner is currently working on his third album, which is due later this year, or at the start of 2006.
Hitesh Posted 2 September 2005 Posted 2 September 2005 Iv always liked the Streets! Quality music! Has anyone got that song by chance?
Matt Posted 2 September 2005 Author Posted 2 September 2005 Iv always liked the Streets! Quality music! Has anyone got that song by chance? Yeah i'm trying to find it to [cough] download but I don't know the name of the song so I am struggling
Matt Posted 2 September 2005 Author Posted 2 September 2005 If you go to Jo Whiley's page and go to Friday's listen again at about the 2hrs 11 minutes mark its will be played, It will be a b-side to Bloc Party's next single, Might be the first time in years (And its got to be about 5 years) I actually buy a single unless I find the name for this song so I can download it...

Apparantly it's the next single, cus Bloc Party are releasing an album of re-mixes. My mate just put me straight on that one.

In that case i'll wait and see what other remixes will be on the album and might just uy the album, because I hate single Just a way of getting kids to spend there pocket money, Why buy a single priced at £3.99 or whatever they cost when you can buy albums for £9.99? Albums are overpriced buy I don't see the point in singles

And your right, Singles are pointless and Albums are overpriced!
Katy Posted 6 September 2005 Posted 6 September 2005 The Streets rock! Both of the albums are fantastic although I think a grand dont come from free slightly edges original pirate material. Mike Skinner has something about him to be fair
