The Streets offer up new single for free
dandruff by Ashraf Dumile July 30th, 2008

Over yonder, a wondering prophet.

As we’ve already been over, Mike Skinner – yes, The Streets – is back. Six years on from Original Pirate Material Skinner returns with Everything Is Borrowed, out September 15.

It’s an early indication that the guy has really taken the ‘poet’ tag to heart:
