The End of the Streets is Nigh

Mike Skinner’s work under the guise of the Streets is on many iTunes libraries up-and-down the country, especially mine [see below]. That said, those who feared the forthcoming fifth album, Computers and Blues, will actually be the Streets last might just want to sit down as Skinner reveals that the Streets will be closing for good…

In a candid interview with The Guardian’s Caspar Llewellyn Smith in London’s Shoreditch House, Mr Original Pirate Material confirmed that this will definitely be the final album from the Streets. “I think it would devalue it to say that it was cynical but I know what I'm doing with the Streets – I've been doing it for too long,” he divulges. “I don't want to do the Streets anymore. I should have moved on a long time ago.”

“It's obvious. I've been doing it for 10 years and I've always tried to do something different with each album,” he tells. “Some [of my work has] been amazingly received and some of it hasn't been, and I've run out of new avenues.

“As uninteresting as the Streets is to talk about, the most interesting element of anything is its death, so if you're going to talk about the Streets, ending the Streets is probably a good thing to talk about,”

He may be bored of talking about his time as the Streets but what will he miss? Studio time? Groupies? Mercury Music Prizes? Parties? Touring? "I don't know," he tells Llewellyn Smith. "I do really enjoy performing. Everyone's got their job and it's really nice to have a purpose. It's much better than any holiday. It's like a holiday with a purpose. It's a working holiday." We guess that’s a yes then.

So what will Skinner do after the fifth and final album drops? An actual holiday? Hang up the mic? Play Call of Duty until his eyes bleed? In the interview, long term friend Ted Mayhem suggests they’ll be making a film first and then a final farewell Streets gig will be on the cards… but Skinner himself stayed blasé about actual music. “If I was making another record, I'd just make it and stick it on the internet.” Nice. Our hard drives wait eagerly await your nonchalant decision.

2011...

Hmmm, another year is upon us (does anyone else think 2010 was really short). But what does 2011 and the future hold for UK artists, grime, dubstep and all of the good, clean and wholesome emerging UK talent that we love?

PS - Maybe that is what my cat is thinking about in his sleep right now too, or maybe he's just deep thought about his expensive bloody cat food???

Shit trainers but QUALITY video to promote them...

iPhone 4 the New CrackBerry?!?!?

Every night before closing my eyes and drifting off to dreamland I take a stroll through the App Store to see what the latest games, gizmos and "essentials" are... The other day I stumbled upon the amazing Tunein Radio (allows you to stream radio from all over the world over 3G and of course Wi-Fi) and now I'm using the versatile Blog Press... I'm not even going to get started on how hooked I was on Trainyard.





So I put it to... Is the iPhone 4 - which now has much-needed multitasking, better battery, etc - the new CrackBerry?!?! After all the theory that people are ONLY on BlackBerry's for BBM and an amazing email client keeps getting thrown about.

Hmmmmm discuss...

Diesel 30 Day Turbodenim Challenge – Day 4

It’s now Day 4 of the jeans challenge. Day 4? Feels like we’re in a series of 24 right now, especially when we’re trying to turn raw denim jeans into vintage classics in just 30 days. Any minute Jack Bauer could jump out of a cupboard, grab us up, tie us with telephone wire up and force us to tell him everything?!?!? EVERYTHING!?!?!?!

Ok, so last time you saw us using Nandos Extra Extra Hot crisps to tick off one of the challenge boxes, WIPE. Diesel’s Turbodenim reacted very well to the Peri-Peri-ness and they still remain in a great condition. Oh, yeah. We’ll see about that. Let’s put these bad boys to the test.



As you can see from the zip card above there are many stages still to get through. But to speed this process up, today we went for CLIMB, SLIDE, TUMBLE, ROLL and… IRON…?!?!?

 

 
Keep locked to RWDmag.com to find out how we’re getting on with our pairs of Turbodenim and remember when you get yours, those who photograph their best efforts and upload them to Facebook.com or Diesel.com the most innovative and imaginative methods will be in the draw for one of Diesel’s amazing prizes.

Diesel 30 Day Turbodenim Challenge – Day 1

When Uncle Sam came knocking on the rhinestone-clad doors of Elvis, Shaggy and Muhammad Ali they didn’t go running like scared little babies, afraid foreign forces would get the better of them. They stood up to be counted, they knew it was their time to make a difference and sculpt the world into a better place. Ok, maybe Muhammad did some running but you know what we mean. A few decades down the line and Diesel decided to call up RWD’s Danny Walker and Chidi Ubani to partake in their 30 Day Turbodenim Challenge…


Answering the call was a simple one, “What, we get free Diesel jeans? Yeah, we’re up for that.” However, actually participating was a different story, we had to read a press release, know what waist size we were and (to top it off) navigate halfway across London (about three stops on the Underground) to pick them up. Tough work don’t you think?
After the hardship of the journey, it was a pleasure that Carnaby Street still hadn’t woken up yet. Without brushing a single shoulder or stepping on anyone’s toes we infiltrated the Diesel store. Only one decision left now… skinny fit or regular? Although the skinny fit was a good cut, it was all about regular ones.
So what is this 30 Day Challenge about?
When Diesel and ISKO™ – the world’s biggest denim manufacturer – joined forces to create Turbotech™, who’d have thought it would be RWD getting the call to try out their new range of Turbodenim. Basically we have to crawl, stretch, skid, tumble, climb, surf, lift, dive and skank in our jeans to see if we could age them in a month.
Sounds good, right? President and founder of Diesel, Renzo Rosso, also spoke highly of the new collab. “This incredible, innovative fabric, developed in collaboration with ISKO™, allows denim to live and change according to the wearer’s lifestyle. It’s a real second skin – enjoy it!” And we will Renzo.

So here is what we need to do for the next 30 days…!?!?!?!

DAY 1… WE CHOSE TO WIPE…
