Talk:The Streets

message: Is a mixtape. Not a studio album. I'm going to change it and if you have any reasons why I shouldn't it would be much more constructive to state them than to revert without explanation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.241.10.67 (talk) 15:31, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Cyberspace and Reds

message: The article states "The bands last gig was at Reading Festival 2011". I saw The Streets playing yesterday, and they're playing today as well, at Parklife in Australia (www.parklife.com.au). Is the article wrong, or merely outdated?

message: Perhaps this "record" should be rephrased as "the world's longest music video according to MTV"  Because, for example, Pink Floyd's The Wall is technically a music video and it's way longer than 25 minutes.--Lairor 12:45, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  World's longest music video? 

message: Surely these two sentences from the article cannot both be right? Which one is?
* "Despite having been raised in Birmingham, an area with a distinctive regional accent, he speaks with a strong London "cockney" accent."
* "Because of his accent, Skinner is identified with Birmingham, but he doesn't identify with it much himself."
Read the article, it explains where he's from and with which accent he speaks / sings. 81.246.93.2 09:29, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Accent 

message: No mention of Mikey's 2003 EP??? I think it at least deserves a sentence, some would say even an article.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:StreetsNME2006.jpg

message: Today I was editing the article and I find the word 'tender' to be rather annoying. Why is being five years old considered 'tender'? I do believe it is inappropriate because it implies that being five years old and making music is something special - which of course would be crossing Wikipedia's guide on NPOV. It is like saying "When Skinner was only five years old, he already was making music" - that is downright POV. 'Tender age' might mean 'at a young age', but if you put 'tender' and 'playing keyboards' together it suggests it's something special, extraordinary even.
There is no valid reason to keep the word there. Saying other articles have the same phrase is of course no argument either (see [[WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS). The argument that it is "an acceptable use of English" doesn't matter here either, because we use English to try be as encyclopedic as possible, and not to use everyday English. --Soetermans | drop me a line | what I'd do now? 17:50, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The addition of the word 'tender' came across my screen in Huggle this afternoon. I agree that it should not be in the article. Adding 'tender', to me, suggests a quality of 5yearoldness that I feel is not neutral. 5 years old is 5 years old.  That's all that needs to be said. The reader can bring their own qualifiers to the fact. Anyway, putting my thoughts in because I was asked.  Like another editor before me, I find it hard to believe that this word has been batted about in the article for years. :) Wikipelli Talk 05:41, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Another round

message: The provided citation is for a tweet posted to Mike Skinner's account in June 2009 that explicitly states that the album will be released in February 2010. This is originally what the text of the article said. However, it has since been updated to indicate Q3/Q4 2010 with no new citation or rationale. I haven't seen any authoritative indication that the album has been delayed to that timeframe. If someone has a reference, please incorporate it, because the article as it stands is inaccurate.

thread_title:  Computers and Blues release date 

message: This article makes reference to Reebok Classics. "classics" could also refer to classic dance/club tunes. when i say "put on some classics" i'm referring to music, not shoes. I know Mike is a fan of Reebok Classics but i'm pretty sure this could be a double meaning.

message: ...yet the article states that he was rapping before then and that he made his first track at the age of 15 (which would be around 1993). Can an earlier date be put than 2000? FM [ talk to me | show contributions ]  15:28, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm listening to it now!
Must be unofficial, maybe a leek, but I know everything by The Streets, and this is new.
Also comes in a new style, as hoped for.
"On the roof of your car, at the stars"
"Gaze up to the skies, truth, you've opened up my eyes"
Apparently, as I'm researching, the track, that will possibly be included on the new album, was released online by skinner himself:

I love it!

thread_title:  Computers and Blues 2010: "Roof of your car" 

message: that first bit's a load of nonsense.  Johnny Drum Machine and Kevin Mark Trail were recruited as touring members long after the streets had first been incarnated. it started as a colaboration between skinner and a few other mates, one of whom was/is a part of a group called mouth almighty (crispy i think his name was?) skinner has posted a piece that he'd written about the formation of the streets and transition to just him and about the bitterness that was on their website when it started. although his musical history i'm sure goes back the the early/mid nineties i'm pretty sure the streets didnt materialise as an idea until 1999ish after skinner had lived in australia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.185.139 (talk) 17:55, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
