Bleep

"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
