THE STREETS A Grand Don't Come For Free (2004)

I bet you didn't expect to find this on THIS IS INDIE.
The first time that I ever listened to THE STREETS was far from home on BFBS radio station. I had a meeting every wednesday at 1 p.m. and I always listened to a program called The Mystery Year which was about guessing a certain year by just some headlines and some music from that very year.
The sad thing about it was that the meeting started at 1 p.m. and the radio show wouldn't tell the year before 1 p.m. which sucked really.
But on the way back I once was listening to a band I have never heard before and it felt like the radio station played two different songs at the same time.
It was THE STREETS.

And now enjoy
