We are now getting a little more details about Bloc Party 's forthcoming single ' Mercury ' which was premiered recently on BBC's Radio One . The single is set for release in the UK on August 11 and in the US on August 12. To the disappointment of American fans, ' Mercury ' will only be available as a digital format in the US while the UK will be getting the single in a variety of formats including a CD version featuring remixes by CSS and Flosstradamus . They will also be getting 73 [...]
E l'estate sta lentamente entrando nel vivo. E si gira la sera. Ed è bello. In macchina, spia della riserva accesa ma ce ne fottiamo, aria condizionata spenta che se no cor cavolo che arriviamo , finestrino abbassato e sigaretta accesa con in sottofondo "Streets Of Paris" dei Teenagers . When they saw us that was it We're teenagers, we have fun No one's around, so it seems No one's around no so it seems The streets of Paris Man it's [...]

Time for some older stuff, to keep the blog fresh. It's JFK of MSTRKRFT fame, and remxing Bloc Party's "FLUX" As always, Jesse rips things to shreds and then puts them back together nicely to create the perfect package - and this remix is no exception.

It seems we were all well and truly shafted by the Chancellor yesterday. Being a smoker and a driver I was crucified, thank god I don't drink! Instead of dealing with the real issues in this country (poverty, the impending recession, teenagers and the fact that no-one can afford to by a house )Alistair Darling, in his infinite wisdom, decided that people who happen to own a car, like a drink and who smoke should bear the brunt of his ineptitude - the bastard!! That being said, at least me ol' nan will be warm next winter! Anyhoo, to cheer [...]

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!

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 [...]

Ok, so what's new about this I hear you ask. Well, nothing really, I won't lie. In the mass hysteria surrounding A Weekend in the City , I've gone back and had a listen to Bloc Party's Silent Alarm . Everyone knows it, and many like it, but if you haven't heard Silent Alarm Remixed , get it. For every time I listen to the first album, I listen to the remixes somewhere in the region of around 15 times. Some quality efforts from various contributors, but I'm sure you'll find post after post on [...]
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.

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 [...]

(photo by Shane Bee ) Bloc Party are big news these days. Their latest album has leaked around various blogs, and I'm sure if you knock up SoulSeek or the Hype Machine , you'll be able to find some tracks. I haven't listened myself. Silent Alarm is a good album, but certainly not flawless, and I'm not sure it warrants the excessive hype that surrounds it. That said, the album captured what I think a lot of bands were going for a couple of years ago a lot better [...]
