Bloc Party

New single by Bloc Party. I got one of their albums a while back (can't remember the title) and was only partially impressed. The musicianship is great, but the hooks only kind of grabbed me. Still interesting, just not mind-blowing.

This new single is pretty good and could, like later work from Radiohead, contextualize the stuff I heard before - especially if the rest of the songs are good. Dig, if you will:


Kind of reminds me of the crazy new wave videos from the earliest days of MTV. It's not far off from a slightly heavier Haircut 100. For comparison's sake:


Ok, not that similar. But kind of...

Hi Chrisb.
Just so you know, I've been reading but too lazy to comment.

I had a dream about you and Jennie last night: you guys were visiting and Nina was HUGE, like the size of a Mastiff, at least!

Thought you'd want to know, maybe cut down on her food?

She got to the size of a large pot-bellied pig, but we found out it was glandular and her chemical levels have been regulated. Maybe I have a thyroid problem...

Why Do I Do This?

I was originally inspired by the Web log posted on the site for Propellerhead Software. They developed a cool 808 emulator which eventually morphed into an entire digital audio workstation package (Reason). Those early posts documented their development process and gave a human insight into their struggles. It was cool. So, I bought some hosted space and figured out FrontPage to put a rudimentary site together. My goal was to connect my family, but then realized this could be a great way for me to keep track of happenings over time. Eventually, the manual, HTML journal gave way to this Blogger setup - much easier to deal with, and not bound to one computer.

Ultimately, this is more about nothing than an episode of Seinfeld, but I appreciate that you've read this far. Really.
