To get the thread back on track:
I am just listening to The Streets new album again and I feel compelled to remind everybody about how fucking ace it is.
Going back to the "words that mean things in songs are stupid" debate. If you get beyond the stipped down music of A Grand Don't Come For Free and listen to the words it can be seen that they add greatly to the appeal of the tunes. "you don't care about my broken tv, I sit all day on the sofa smoking weed" just can't be faulted. AAAAAALlright
