Panic Prevention
This record, Panic Prevention, has been in heavy rotation since I got it last week.
It's had the same effect on me that the first Streets record, Original Pirate Material, had on me when I first got it. All I want to do is listen again and again, each listen revealing something new.
Amazon says Jamie T's inspirations are The Clash, Tom Waits, Billy Bragg, the Specials and Beastie Boys. That sounds about right.
Check it out.

Wow, I never would have guessed you liked The Streets. I thought you were a total indie rock kinda guy.

Great recommmendation on Jamie T. Picked it up in the Edinburgh right after reading your post. The name drops were too good to pass up, and enjoyed it all the way back on the plane. The clerk wouldn't let me leave without picking up a Dundee band called the View. It's brilliant, and you'll love it: http://www.theviewareonfire.com/
Be sure to listen to "Face for the Radio".
