NEW RELEASE: Bloc Party vs The Streets - Adam Smith, director

Not really a remix, this new track is basically The Streets aka Mike Skinner rapping and singing over the Bloc Party tune "Banquet." In fact, you can actually hear the original chorus vocals, which aren't even completely EQ'ed out. It's also not a proper video, but more of a documentary that tells the story of the song.

Basically, the song is about how Skinner stole a microphone while appearing as a guest on BBC Radio 1 DJ Jo Whiley's show. Now famous and reasonably wealthy (or at least, no longer on the dole) Skinner decides to clear his conscience and return the mic to its proper owner.
