What do you think of 'The Streets' ?
 

I just got their CD after hearing one of their songs and I think it is very refreshing . . .esp. "The Irony of it All"

I think this shit is cool :winkwink:

The Streets album is very good. If the guy wasn't such a nerdy lookin dude he would have been huge here in the States. He should have kept a low profile until his stuff caught on.

That second link is the best promo site I've ever seen for a record! :1orglaugh

He reminds me 100% of how half my mates talk. I like the track about the beer heads and the pot heads....I do know people like that.

I'm sure you do Krome, more than a few I would think.:winkwink:

The Streets? have no ideal who they are.

I remember when I first heard it on the radio. I thought it was just a couple of cockneys talking bollocks for more of a humerous type of entertainment...They have made bags of money through it..fuck I can talk like that....right wheres the microphone!

Haha, I'm sure a lot of Cockney folks are kicking themselves saying, "I could have done that!"

It's not just that accent, it is the lyrics:

"Hello, Hello. My names Terry and I?m a law abider
There?s nothing I like more than getting fired up on beer
And when the weekends here I to exercise my right to get paralytic and fight
Good bloke fairly
But I get well leery when geezers look at me funny
Bounce ?em round like bunnies
I?m likely to cause mischief
Good clean grief you must believe and I ain?t no thief.
Law abiding and all, all legal.
And who cares about my liver when it feels good
Wwhat you need is some real manhood.
Rasher Rasher Barney and Kasha putting peoples backs up.
Public disorder, I?ll give you public disorder.
I down eight pints and run all over the place
Spit in the face of an officer
See if that bothers you cause I never broke a law in my life
Someday I?m gonna settle down with a wife
Come on lads lets have another fight"

This shit is good, poetry . . .

I love this :

"Err, well actually according to research
Government funding for further education pales in insignificance
When compared to how much they spend on repairing
Leery drunk people at the weekend
In casualty wards all over the land."

:thumbsup

I still need to check out the album, but I wasn't feeling his flow on the single.
