Mike Skinner is planning to give away a grand (or so) that he won at a casino. Having accrued the cash during a night out with the Mitchell Brothers, Skinner has decided to give it away in a competition - to someone who can explain what the Mitchells' new song is all about.
Skinner explained how he came by the money: "After a long day last Thursday talking to the Mitchells about their new song, it was The Beats' Christmas dinner. I decided to have it at a casino when I saw the James Bond film. So Magic Mike was saying he would take it easy but, as each beer flowed, he seemed to be taking on strange powers. He's not just a pretty sound engineer, he had this thing that he called 'the vibe' and by the time he was hammered he was always right. Then I got into an argument with one of the bankers who thought I'd been stealing from this Russian dude, which I thought might escalate into me getting polonium in my drink, but the security cameras were on my side. Anyway, I walked away with £1,025 cash (I woke up with £1,020 due to a lady taking £5 on the way out to work)."
