“At the end of the tunnel there is always light, it just might be a train.” Good point. Mike Skinner performed “Going Through Hell”, one of the highlights of his latest and final (al-leg-ed-ly) and good album as The Streets, on Alan Carr’s BBC 4 show Chatty Man last night in the UK. Skinner and [...]

This is a good one, guys. It’s clear around the 42 second mark of track 1 that Computers and Blues is going to ensure that The Streets go out with a much deserved bang. Full album stream of Mike Skinner’s final album as ‘The Streets’ via the Hype Machine exclusive. Stream: The Streets Computers and [...]

Mike Scanner/Skinner (The Streets) is not making it easy to download his new mixtape, Cyberspace and Reds. The tape is currently only available to iPhone users, who must first download the ‘mike scanner’ app, then scan the bar code on the Streets’ site, and then scan a barcode on a can of Heinz Tomato Soup [...]

“One of those mornings and the car’s colder than the street.” I remember those. Winter hits hard in the above promo clip for “Too Numb”, the latest offering from The Streets’ Mike Skinner and his upcoming Computers and Blues (due February 7 in the UK). Hey, I have one of those record bowls!

If Mike Skinner’s increasingly frequent Twitter activity is any indication (or the clock on the-streets.co.uk that’s counting down to 94 days from now), the next and ‘final’ Streets album, Computers and Blues, is definitely on the way. Shortly after he posted a video for 2009′s “Trust Me”, Skinner put up a clip for an acappella [...]

@skinnermike, where have you been all my 2010? Dormant since last year’s random Twitter releases, Mike is unafraid to wear navy & black in The Streets’ new clip for “Trust Me”, above. Old song, new video. Album? Please, soon.

So bla bla bla, right? Another “Best of the Decade” list. I can’t possibly bring myself to explain these choices in detail of any kind. I’m all detailed out for the year. I feel like I keep reading the same things about a few of these records on different sites, and no one likes when [...]

The first draft of this post, titled “My Poproks Best Songs Since 2000,” is from this past March. 8 months, 1,000 edits, and 3,000 miles later, it officially exits the abyss of blogFAIL that is My Poproks “drafts” section. Making lists is hard! I will never complain about another ‘Blank Songs of Blank’ list ever [...]

Coldplay were at the Rock Werchter Music Festival in Belgium over the weekend, and like most other touring musicians on planet Earth in the past week, snuck in a Michael Jackson tribute at some point during their set. Above, Chris Martin does a somber rendition of “Billie Jean” (thnx vdub), the best Michael Jackson song [...]
