The Streets, 'Heaven for the Weather' -- New Video

Brit rapper Mike Skinner plays the role of motivational speaker in the video for the latest Streets single, 'Heaven for the Weather,' off of the album 'Everything is Borrowed.' "This video was an immensely empowering video to make," Skinner tells Spinner. "I made many discoveries on this journey, and in watching it, I hope you will too. Observing my simple 9-step program, you will notice a big change in your lifestyle. You will feel empowered to achieve things in both the personal and workplace realm. Go low with Mike Skinner." Um, sure. Check out the new video below.

Bad Lyric of the Week

"Memories are times we borrow for spending tomorrow"
--The Streets' 'Everything Is Borrowed,' from 2008's 'Everything is Borrowed'

Is that the opening sentence in 'Tuesdays With Morrie'? No, wait ... is that a Hallmark card?

Mike Skinner Retires the Streets, Looks to Films

Mike Skinner was 'pranging out' about celebrity on his last album, 2006's 'The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living,' and now seems at peace on his latest, 'Everything Is Borrowed.' The artist, better known as the Streets, announced his intention to ditch the name after his next album and venture into new territory.

"The Streets have always been new and exciting to me," Skinner tells Spinner. "Every new album has felt like I'm going somewhere where I haven't been before and I just want to keep doing that. I'd like to make a film -- that's the first thing I'd like to do. Something that is quite conceptual ... I don't think it will be the type of film that people expect I'm gonna make."

As for specifics on the film, Skinner was a little cryptic, but asserted he will be pushing things forward as usual. "I'd quite like to do an almost dystopian kind of thing, that has a kind of metaphor beyond the story that's quite sharp." Sci-fi geeks and backpack rappers should take note.

Potent Quotables: Skinner to Retire Streets

"I'm just f------ sick of it. [I want to be liberated] from that word and all that I feel that the Streets should be." --Mike Skinner

The one-man hip-hop show, who will release his fourth CD in September, says he's done with the moniker.
