Man Like Me - Wine & Dine

"Twenty-one-year-old pop/grimester Man Like Me isn't one of the usual Streets-a-likes who have cropped up in the wake of Mike Skinner. Rather, he sounds like Madness's Suggs on this self-effacing narrative about taking a girl on a date and being caught between macho swagger and pantshitting fear at the prospect. All this, over a cakewalk of jump lead grime, elaborate yet abrupt bursts of electronica that remind you one second of musique concrète, another of those bits in the Roadrunner cartoons where Wile E Coyote steps on a rake and receives the handle full in the face. Singles like this should be pop's default setting in 2006."David Stubbs, The Guardian

"Chinatown" is still one of the greatest songs I've ever heard

There's a direct line from The Specials imo... "Single Dad".. "Booze"
