**WINNER OF THE NME BEST BOOK AWARD** 'This book is going to try
and get as close as possible to the full story of what informed the
noise of The Streets. Obviously that's something I should be fairly
well-qualified to know about, and I'm going to be as honest as the
publisher's lawyers will allow.' With the 2001 release of The
Streets' debut single 'Has It Come To This?' the landscape of
British popular music changed forever. No longer did homegrown
rappers have to anxiously defer to transatlantic influences. Mike
Skinner's witty, self-deprecating sagas of late-night kebab shops
and skunk-fuelled Playstation sessions showed how much you could
achieve simply by speaking in your own voice. In this thoroughly
modern memoir, the man the Guardian once dubbed 'half Dostoevsky .
. . half Samuel Pepys' tells a freewheeling, funny and fearlessly
honest tale of Birmingham and London, ecstasy and epilepsy,
Twitter-fear and Spectrum joysticks, spread-betting and growing up.
He writes of his musical inspirations, role models and rivals, the
craft of songwriting and reflects on the successes and failures of
the decade-long journey of The Streets.
