Everything is Borrowed - Mike Skinner

I'm only on track 5 and I wanted to skip 3 of them

Go to track 10. I love it...you might think thats shite too mind

 

[isitme]

It's still downloading track by track so I can't skip

some of it is cringeworthy. It's like the last Bjork album, I already knew what they were on about, I don't need them to spell it out, it's a bit tryhard.

Or like when Eminem started singing

Well i like it, not all of it, just the 3 tracks. I didn't like his first album, got on my norks lol. Each to their own i guess

Hey i'm listening to Tricky's latest album now. Did you like that? Not really sure about it yet, not impressed so far

 

[isitme]

I haven't listened to that yet. I saw him on Jools Holland and I was a bit disgusted since he was one of my favourite rappers when he was young and he was shite on there

Well he's actually done a cover of Kylie Minogue's 'Slow' on this

 

[isitme]

It's shocking, I loved the first two and even liked Angels With Dirty Faces, I let him off with so much of it being rubbish because I was a fan, but noone bought it so he had to do Blowback and Vent which where just crap really. I might listen but I won't buy it

 

[isitme]

Oh and what the fuck is skinner doing remixing Cagney and Lacey or summat?

Ya can't beat his first album. This latest isn't up to much. Glad i didn't buy it

track 6 - edge of a cliff

 

[isitme]

Ok, I hear the whole thing, the songs you like are Everything is Borrowed, Escapist and Strongest Person I Know right?

EiB and Escapist are both kind of the same song

yeh they are similar...still like em tho

 

[Annierak]

track 6 - edge of a cliff

will give that another listen now

 

[isitme]

Track 8 is also based on a 2nd rate cop show

 

[Annierak]

I see where you're coming from with that

 

[Annierak]

Think track 8 is very 'Starsky & Hutch'

 

[isitme]

He really is not a good rapper at all is he like?

I respect how he makes really honest love songs, and not always about girls, he writes love songs about his best friends and stuff, but when he tries to be a rapper and you sort of tolerate it cos he comes across as really likeable. but then you listen to a proper rapper and you realise how shit he is at rapping

I'm not really a big fan of rap although i have always liked Tricky (MC Hammer wasn't bad for the time either....joke ) but i don't think it matters that Skinner isn't a great rapper because i think he's done some wonderful stuff. I mean, come on... 'Dry your eyes mate', it's a classic

 

[isitme]

I liked Dry Your Eyes but I would put it pretty low down his list of good tunes tbh

 

[isitme]

and on escapist he even says fish on a dish the pisstaker

is that when the boat comes in like wor mike?

I like his simple lyrics

I didn't really like his first album. I've got it but played it twice and never bothered again. Maybe i should give it another listen

It's a bit like this one, it has a few amazing tunes on it and some really shit ones, well thinking about it I think that one is about 8 good ones and 4 shit ones and this one is about 4 good ones and 8 shit ones

 

[Annierak]

I will give it another listen tomorrow

 

[isitme]

I've listened to blinded by the lights about 5 times just now and I think it's the perfect tune for me tbh

I remember me and my ex sat in our house drinking and listening to Pirate Material all day and we thought it was a party

I love that too




Well my favorites are 'Dry your eyes mate' and 'The strongest person i know' but then i like the softer/sweet side (think it's the girl in me lol).

'fit but you know it' is another good un

I didn't think you could do that to each other

Shurrup filthbag

 

[isitme]

The whole second album is just fucking genius for me, I think it's just aimed at a certain type of person, I love the whole album and how he manages to make the tunes change and reflect exactly how it feels to be off your fucking tits and dealing with it really badly
