The fourth album by genre-bending UK rap act The Streets was the succinct Everything Is Borrowed. Though mixed by UK garage legend Mike Millrain, who had also played a part in the group’s third record, 2006’s The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living, it is almost completely dislocated from their garage roots, featuring as it does the Czech FILMharmonic Orchestra alongside busy British harpist Camilla Pay. While The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living had wrapped up the tale of Mike Skinner’s time in music to date – sometimes in grim detail – it also laid the groundwork for him to expand into broader matters in his inimitable, relatable way. Released on 15 September 2008 in the UK, and following on 7 October in the US, Everything Is Borrowed saw Skinner reflecting upon the maturation of Generation X, and its thematic content is even more relevant now than on first release. Listen to ‘Everything Is Borrowed’ here. But at the right time of life, excess can be fun, and doing fun stuff is life-enhancing. It’s so easy to reflect on one’s own bad days, decide that in the end nothing was gained and urge those younger than you to get into yoga rather than cocaine. Easy, but also boring, unfair, hypocritical and pointless. The Streets' third studio album, The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living, was released on 10 April 2006. In the UK it debuted the album chart at number one. [14] 2008–2009: Everything Is Borrowed [ edit ] Singles peaks below top 50: Ryan, Gavin (2011). Australia's Music Charts 1988–2010 (PDFed.).

I've pretty much kept my promise that I made to myself not to reference modern life on any of them though which is hard to do and keep things personal at the same time."

Milton, Jamie (4 August 2008), Muse: 'Collaboration with the Streets Result of a Late Night Jam Session' , Gig Wise , retrieved 4 August 2008 Skinner returned to discuss his own life on The Hardest Way To Make A Living, a project which sees him balance the trials and tribulations that come from being a star with a burgeoning penchant for drugs and women. Burning through his cash like no tomorrow through his record label and sports betting, Skinner was offering a totally unique look at life in the spotlight. Just like his debut album, the music was autobiographical and to hear one of the biggest artists in Britain being so frank about their life was a breath of fresh air. Skinner later followed this up with Everything Is Borrowed, a more emotive project which sees Skinner searching from within after becoming a father and, tragically, losing his own. What matters is that Everything Is Borrowed is enough of a triumph that despite all evidence to the contrary, you'll be convinced the world is indeed a beautiful place. [Dec 2008, p.153]
