Mercury in retrograde!


Woo hoo! Bloc party. Now I only became a fan when they released "A Weekend in the City"- but my gal Sophie hung out with them when they were mere unknowns playing a gig at Bottom of the Hill. Apparently their performance has much improved since 05 but still not quite as polished as one would hear in the studio recordings- being heavy on drum n bass and synths, i'm not complaining. I'm glad they're also experimenting with looping on their new single. Perhaps this would help Kele on the vocals. They were a big tease though having 2 separate encores after the first mandatory one. Pity Gordy was missing.
