It looks like the Streets and Lady Sovereign's stop at the Intonation Festival is part of a tour they're doing together this summer. That's a pretty killer matchup. I find British hip-hop so much easier to digest for some reason (though calling the Streets purely "hip-hop" is a bit of a stretch).

What about that Pitchfork story, however, is "exclusive?" Can a story about tour dates truly be "exclusive?" Interviews are exclusive, stories that any ol' website can report on by looking at a band's website are not "exclusive." Maybe they mean they are just the first to report on it. Once we posted a tinymixtapes news blurb about some random tour that said "exclusive" as a joke, and Pitchfork's news editor actually emailed us requiring we take it off because they had already reported it as "exclusive." No sense of humor over at the Fork, I guess.
