The Streets - Weak Become Heroes

Street poet Mike Skinner, aka The Streets, offers a second single from the album Original Pirate Material - and it is less immediate that Let's Push Things Forward.

But once it grabs you, it doesn't let go - Skinner showing again that he has a knack for a catchy chorus and irresistible beat.

On top of that, it comes with the added bonus of the sublimely wry Give Me My Lighter Back, which sounds about as real as south London ever does, however much it nearly erupts into Madness. The street poet lives another day, and still the novelty factor has not worn off.
