[quote="SpontaneousPoet"]Aural is a half-lie-spreading-hot-mama who really gets around. By which I mean she goes to so many shows it boggles the mind and I'm totally envious. Of course.
nobody, the Streets' disc is one I've meant to pick up all year, held it in my hands many times, and have yet to actually get it to the counter to purchase. So, are you saying I should put it on my Christmas list so it will have consideration for my top twenty of 2004 list?
I'll gladly share a mix sometime, also, many obners will do the same.[/quote]
Well, depending on what kind of stuff you like, I'd absolutely recommend putting the Streets on your holiday list. It's a nice mellow blend of garage and hip hop with an English slant. It shares some of the sparseness of Dizee Rascal, but is much more laid back and melodic.
Sharing a mix sounds good. I'l be making one up for the new year as a 2004 review. I'll post and mention when it's ready.
