The Streets @ Muffathalle
Who would have thought that a hiphop concert can be so full of energy that your shirt's almost wet from sweat afterwards, because of the constant jumping along with the beat? Not me. Maybe it has to do with my opinion that you can not go as crazy on the dancefloor to a hip hop song as you can to, let's say, indietronic like Digitalism or to indierock like Bloc Party. But it doesn't matter because yesterday The Streets proved me wrong. I screamed, I jumped, I shouted and I went totally nuts. This made me realise that The Streets and his syndicate are not only artists, they are devoted performers too. When Mike got the whole crowd to get 
down on the floor or everybody to freeze in middance, I became convinced that wahtever he decides to do after the tour of his third an last album is over in 11 days, he will be succesful. Even though they have been touring since the end of summer and even though the drummer, John, almost wasn't able to perform due to a small Jägermeister intoxication, tonights show felt almost like their first. Neither when Mike Skinner took his shirt of and went crowdsurfing nor when he said that they really enjoy being here tonight it felt unhonest, practiced and like something he does at every show. To me it was original, original pirate material, and all in all it was a great performance which really exceeded my expectations and I must admit that according to me that was just a perfect example of how a sunday night can be best spent.

damit hast du bewiesen: du kannst es auch. nur eben auf englisch und somit für den größeren teil unserer erdbevölkerung verständlich. und du warst ja schon ganz früh so fleißig. ich freue mich jedenfalls auf css heut abend.
