HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE BLACK LIPS

video The Black Lips are gearing up for the release of their brand new album, 200 Million Thousand. In keeping with the numerically-massive album title, the band doesn't want ONE video for the first single, 'Starting Over,' they want 200 Million Thousand. And they want you to make them.

The contest will run until the 200 Million Thousandth video has been submitted. Or until February 15th. Whichever comes first. So get started. Submissions can be uploaded to vimeo.com beginning January 12th, 2009.

So download the first single "Starting Over" here and get cracking!

NEW ALBUM FROM THE STREETS!

Album_cover EVERYTHING IS BORROWED OUT OCTOBER 7 ON VICE RECORDS

Mike Skinner, aka The Streets, will be delivering his fourth album, everything is borrowed October 7th on Vice Records. Never one to take the same approach twice, Skinner is contemplating the impermanent nature of life this time around. Skinner has made a record to console the lonely and bring a smile to the saddest visage. Applying his homespun hip-hop sensibility to real instruments, Mike comes up with sing-a-long musings on such unconventional subjects as religion ("Alleged Legends"), evolution ("The Way of the Dodo"), biological destiny ("On the Edge of a Cliff"), and male friendship ("The Sherry End"). From the first time people heard The Streets' Mercury Prize-nominated debut Original Pirate Material, they couldn't make their minds up whether the person making this music was black or white, from London or the Midlands, serious or a joker. Having given the world plenty of time to get acclimated, Skinner now rediscovers his old irrepressible buoyancy and takes his trademark stop-start lyrical flow to entirely new places.
Watch "The Escapist" video and receive a free download of the track:

http://vicerecords.com/thestreetseib/

"British MC Mike Skinner is a pale-faced poet laureate the geezer is so real it hurts." - SPIN

"Mike Skinner is to hazy slacker downtime what Hunter S Thompson is to Americana: a shrewd chronicler, a dizzying blurrer of creative forms." - INTERVIEW

"It's important to note that Mike Skinner (aka the Streets) is pop music's rarest commodity: a singular talentŠimplausibly imaginative." - ESQUIRE

"Skinner's ear for language and detail is vivid and hilarious. Call it Zen Hooliganism - ROLLING STONE
Skinner, though, is life's real deal, an artists who knows that, if rendered honestly, even mundane experiences can produce the most powerful music." - NEW YORK MAGAZINE
