A third single from a frankly piss-poor album, now with added input from the tabloid’s favourite – who’s bright idea was that? Whoever it was, take a bow, as ‘Prangin’ Out’ could go a long way to rescuing Skinner’s falling kudos. In fact, it was always one of the album’s highlights – probably all he really needed to say on the subject of celebrity meltdown – and Doherty’s spoken verse is heartfelt, fragile and actually quite moving. Who’d have thought it?

The Streets' Mike Skinner has announced his plans to run a marathon
2006-06-01 - News
With his first two albums, Streets mastermind Mike Skinner established himself as one of the most eloquent, idiosyncratic and gifted vocalists and worsdsmiths of his generation. But the 27 year old came close to blowing it all on spread-betting and crack, not to mention engaging in an XXX-rated tryst with an unnamed pop starlet. Thankfully, he’s bounced back with the tell-all confessional of The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living.

Drunk teenage girls aside, is there anything quite more unappealing than a whinging pop star? Their logic is unfathomable - they make a record, we buy it and make them famous and wealthy, then they make another record telling us how crap their lives are now and try and sell it to us all over again so they can make more money and wallow in more misery.

Don’t you hate it when you become famous and pulling girls just doesn’t hold that challenge anymore? So you go for celebrity girls and find yourself quaking like an acne ridden fool again? Mike Skinner does. The first offering from the similarly-themed LP The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living, ‘When You Wasn’t Famous’ (for that’s the title what it were given), is as packed to the rafters with Skinner’s witty couplets as we’ve come to expect. What’s progressed is the breadth of his musical scope, with some calypso action giving the track a Lilt-friendly feel. A welcome return.

Okay, so the anodyne tune itself might not sound out of place on a PJ & Duncan album, but as ever, it’s Mike Skinner’s wry observation of the complicated mating rituals of middle England that gives the single its impetus.
