It's not often that a track played on commercial radio by a popular artist
completely stuns me into awe struck silence but we've just got 'Blinded By The
Lights' in by The Streets & It's one of those tracks for me. The
absolute highlight on 'A Grand Don't Come For Free' as far as I'm concerned. A
tripped out & bittersweet paean to popping little fellers in a club, getting
all disorientated & losing yr mates with a spine tingling female backing
vocal, this is a million miles away from the sweet but mawkish 'Dry Your Eyes'.
& is more in spirit sonically with something off Leila's
groundbreaking 'Like Weather' LP on Rephlex. Absolutely stunning. The
12" has some quality garage MC mixes of 'Get Out Of My House' & 'Fit
But You Know It' for the bling bling, Hennessey quaffing chavers amonst you
(snigger) My single of the week hands down.
