We're at the home stretch! Sunday was a bit of a quieter day for us, but by no means did the music disappoint. The plan was to make it a short day and get back to civilization that night, but due to some travel miscalculations we ended up sticking around till they kicked us out. Very glad we did.

Mike Skinner is The StreetsAs a rule, I hate all music recommended to me, but today Rachel gave me a copy of The Streets album, Original Pirate Material. The Streets is made up of only one guy, Mike Skinner, and he's getting a lot of flak for being the British Eminem. Now I don't think that's an insult- I like Eminem for what he is. Skinner's music is a little more on the dance end of things- but his rhyme style is definitely a close cousin of Marshall Mathers. Anyway- it's a good album- like the screenplay to Snatch being sung by Jason Statham doing an impression of Eminem- or something. Additional info: Skinner can't act.
