It's Monday again, and you know what that means: more remixes! They're all pretty decent, but my personal favorite of the bunch is the Appogee remix of Bright Eye's Lover I Don't Have To Love . It keeps the best parts of the original, while adding an extra dose of electro. Enjoy!

From previous interviews, it's probably okay to infer that Kele Okereke isn't comfortable discussing himself. He seems much more at home talking about his music. Which is fine; he's obviously a person that likes privacy, something that we're all entitled to. Of course, every now and then, some journalist feels it necessary to pry; such is the case with Okereke's latest interview with the San Fransisco Chronicle. Rather short, the interview is filled with inane questions such as this: Q: OK. Let's talk about vampires. On "Song for Clay (Disappear Here)," [...]
I hereby, officially announce it Remix Sunday. Well okay, I don't really. I don't actually have any official powers to go making such proclomations. I do however have some pretty damn good remixes to throw your way and I needed a snappy, witty yet insightful opening to the post. Not that it was any of those either. What can I say? I'm tired, my back hurts and my brain has yet to get in gear. It is Sunday after all. So anyway, onto the music. The Go! Team give Badly [...]
They tried to make me go see Amy Winehouse . I said no, no, no. But then with a bit of arm twisting and cajoling I reluctantly agreed to go. I guess that's what happens when you buy your girlfriend a couple of tickets as a present. So tonight, I'm heading to Birmingham Academy to see the aforementioned Ms Winehouse. Now I'm not mad keen on her music but I shall be venturing out with an open mind and hopefully I'll enjoy it. Besides, I thought her performance at The Brits was the [...]

One of the first things that strikes you about Bloc Party's A Weekend In The City upon your first listen is the change in tone from Silent Alarm. Where Silent Alarm was brash and aggressive art-punk, A Weekend In The City is introverted and quietly angry pop. While there are a few tracks that are reminiscent of Silent Alarm (The Prayer, Hunting For Witches), A Weekend In The City presents, for the most part, a barely recognizable Bloc Party. However, the result is an album far [...]
All week I've been thinking about doing some type of January retrospective. But then I realized that that would be a lot of writing. So last night I fired up GIMP and threw this together. It's just a mashup-wallpaper of some of the albums that I listened to the most during January. They didn't necessarily come out in January, but they did chew up a good chunk of my time. Even though it makes me a little dizzy if I look at it too fast, I'm pretty happy with the end result. The wallpaper is optimized for my [...]
Kele Okereke came out in a recent interview . This is a touchy subject, so i'll probably just leave it like that. But good for Kele it was probably real tough keeping that secret during all the press stuff he did for Silent Alarm. It's got to be a huge relief for him, he's a real nice dude so I hope people aren't assholes about this. New Bloc Party isn't even out yet, but heres a remix. Bloc Party - The Prayer (Para One Remix) Bloc Party [...]
Earlier this month a preliminary version of Bloc Party's new album titled A Weekend In The City leaked to the internet. Overall, the buzz wasn't that loud and many were left wondering if the new album could hold a candle to Silent Alarm . I'll give them the benefit of doubt, seeing as it's still early and the tracks will probably receive lots more attention in the studio. Listen to the new track "The Prayer" over on Bloc Party's myspace page . In related news, Insound has a pretty good pre-order [...]
Day two. Sunday. No, strike that from the record. Not Sunday. Radiohead Day. All paths lead to that one set. Expectation is high. Anticipation unbearable. As if sensing the vibe, the weather's improved. Sun breaks through the clouds. The temperature's up. And with it, the mood of the festival. Everyone seems more up for it. Visibly so. More festival minded. But whether any band can step out from the shadow of the day's headliners remains to be seen. And it [...]
