to think 'A Grand Dont Come For Free' by the Streets is a flippin excellent album and there isnt another like it?

[imonthefone]

just listening it again, after it being on the shelf for many years....

so so so clever

Love everything on it but the argument song especially makes me smile.

"Not gonna give you an example, I can't remember an example..." etc etc.

Yeah jesus brilliantly done...soooooo well captured

I LOVE the way it tells the story of a period of life...and comes full circle..Its quite a good message for the young 'uns an' all...life moves on/itll get better

Love it, and love Original Pirate Material also (the name is a bit of a giveaway on that front!).

the first song....dvd not in case/ phone battery dead....I love the little dialogues he has with himself...its exactly like my brain dump!

Ive never listened to it OPM, I wonder why
will buy it on amazon now.....

oh do, and post if you like it! I might have to dust down A Grand Don't Come for Free, this evening!

God I loved that album and totally not my usual. I likened it to an opera!

YY MrsKR they should make a musical!

i suppose that would be a Streets gig!...

I've seen him live a couple of times and he is fab.
I also love plan B Strickland banks album.

When I first got it (on the day it came out) I closed my bedroom door, lay on the bed and listened to it uninterrupted from start to finish as Zane Lowe had instructed me to do.

Wouldn't Have it Any Other Way reminds me of getting together with DP and when I close my eyes listening to Blinded By the Lights I could be there, Passion, Emporium, 2004, SO emotive.

OPM is probably my favourite Streets album, mainly because it reminds me of the best year of my life, 2002-2003. Driving though Newquay clinging on for dear life in the back of a bright yellow jago jeep with my bezzies, howling along to Don't Mug Yourself. Good times.

There'll be lots of Streets featuring in the PruNuptials playlist.

Thanks for the memories, OP :)

I love that album too, I've even got my ds1 listening to it now

The song at the end always me feel a bit over emotional

Blinded by the Lights is emotive

brilliant

dd1 ruins it a bit for my by gasping and pointing out every time he says 'fuck'
