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.
Following on from 2006’s Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living the Birmingham tyke has decided to try to woo your possibly waning attentions by making the debut track from the record, ‘The Escapist’ (video below), available for free from today (DOWNLOAD). It’s an early indication that the guy has really taken the ‘poet’ tag to heart:
