Boulder Streets

If you like British rap music done by white guys, I highly recommend Mike Skinner and The Streets. He played in Boulder last week, and I made his show part of my Colorado visit. It was a good choice seeing as it was the first rap oriented show I've ever seen, minus the time I saw the Beastie Boys in 1985.

Mike mastered the microphone at the Fox Theater, a very cool old movie theater in downtown Boulder very close to the University of Colorado campus. But between songs, Mike was passing out back stage passes to college girls who struck his fancy. I probably would have done the same thing if I was 27, single and needed, um, a college girl to visit me backstage.
