Ok guys, I made a mistake in labeling a photo yesterday–the second ring on Mike’s left hand wasn’t diamond, it was just metal mesh, as you can see here in this photo that seems to have been taken a while ago (below). But do notice that his knuckle ring and bracelet are NOT diamond encrusted [...]

The Streets show tonight at Webster Hall was beyond awesome. This show was 1000x better than the last time I saw them at Irving Plaza.

The song centers around a supposedly true tale of Mikey Skinner trying to date [...]

Tonight I went to a listening party at Fontana’s for The Streets‘ new album Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living, which drops April 10 in the UK and April 25 in the US. See, the problem with listening parties is every time I go to one, I just end up talking to people rather [...]

The week that was started off last Thursday at Le Prom de Ultragrrrl thrown by SPIN (see right). Stepping inside Rothko, we instantly felt like we stepped into indie prom heaven.
