The Streets - Album Out Monday But Hear It Now!

ALBUM OUT MONDAY
The wait, as they say, is almost over. This coming Monday (Sept 15), The Streets' fourth album, everything is borrowed, will finally be available from your local high street record shop and your favourite online retailer (be they purveyors of CDs or digital tunes). To buy it now, click the links...

HMV / PLAY / AMAZON

If you can't wait to hear why the critics are getting their knickers in such a twist over the album, then head over to Mike's MySpace. There, you can hear seven of the record's tracks on the music player. Plus, as Mayhem's latest News blog explains, the other four tracks have been hidden on other bands' profiles, scattered across MySpace. So if you look hard enough, you'll be able to hear the whole shebang. And, while you're on MySpace, head over to the music homepage to watch Mike on his trip to Prague to record strings and to check out some of his favourite bands. Deep.

HMV INSTORE
A reminder that on Monday, The Streets will be playing a free instore show at HMV on Oxford Street in London at 6pm. There will no wristbands, so get there early. And bring your dancing shoes.

As well as being available on CD and download, everything is borrowed will be released in a limited edition USB version. Not only has the USB stick been cleverly designed to look like a Streets lighter, it will contain the album and give you access to exclusive video content, which will be updated regularly. For its launch the USB will feature guerrilla videos for several tracks from the album, behind the scenes footage and some exclusive live photos and interviews with Mike. You can pre-order it from Play.com here - order USB We hope they'll be using them to transfer secret data in the next series of Spooks.

YOUTUBE TAKEOVER
From today, The Streets will be quite literally taking over YouTube. Visit the UK homepage or The Streets' YouTube channel to check out videos for tracks from the album, Mike's guide to making the record and three brand new episodes of Beat Stevie, including the ones about the missed bus and the evicted Skinner.
