[anyadaz]

i can't imagine bloc party without kele

[TheHennProductions]

@anyadaz hopefully they all get back together

[Mertazord]

@TheHennProductions They got back together about two months ago, mate.

[TheHennProductions]

@Mertazord nah they did but then kele was busy doing solo stuff so the rest of them are looking for a new singer

[Mertazord]

@TheHennProductions Seriously? He basically *is* Bloc Party. D:

[BurialWarlock]

@TheHennProductions Nah he is still in the band.

[Kento617]

@TheHennProductions I did hear of that. Have you listened to some of his solo work? I remember hearing one song but I can't remember it for the life of me. You have any suggestions?

[HapPyGabOo182]

Kele is a beautiful boy :3

[Frederic0162]

[gamedude4888]

I never knew Mark Zuckerberg was played Bass for Bloc Party =)

[KingTaargusVII]

@gamedude4888 how do they look anything alike?

D:

[Tyranus1]

@gamedude4888 Finally!!! Someone else who thinks they look alike!

[denshaotoko89]

tongs drumming is epic

[Bitteulze]

So much better than the studio version ! (In my humble opinion...)

[BlocPartyChic]

@Bitteulze i totally agreee... there's something eerie and brilliantt about this versionn... i think it is because you can hear gordon a lot more clearly.. : ]

[Bitteulze]

@BlocPartyChic ...AND Russell.

[Comed3y]

I think they all are inspired a bit by radiohead , alltough the music isnt anything like it , the beats used in this song and the electronic tunes they started using more and more in their songs kinda makes me think that way . Its nothing bad im saying dont get me wrong , i love these guys , and if your gona be inspired by any musician , radiohead should be it , it can only make your music more creative , which is what has happened here .

[SingerSeeksBand]

@Comed3y dude i can't find the name of the song but theres one song that starts off with almost the exact same notes as radioheads song wakey wakey rise and shine its on again off again... I could sing the words over the intro and everyone in the car I was in was like shit, that fit

[caseyj102]

@Comed3y you talk to much

[Kiushi1995]

[ploki2120]

[SadBananaCo]

Am I the only straight male that is in love with Matt tong? He is insane, and this song isn't even his best.

[TurtleKakashi]

1:49 pika pika!!

[bloc22]

[AmbitiousMOnkey1100]

Matt can put so many drummers to shame

[phd1969]

Jonny Greenword is a member of Bloc Party now?

[PantheraLio]

@phd1969 nope lol he just looks like him

[grungifiedtwo]

@phd1969 Lool.

Yeah, Russell is clearly inspired by Jonny Greenwood.

[Bitteulze]

@grungifiedtwo ...At least for the hairdo. :p

[mchiggy19]

[THEBLOCTT]

[Browncoat1138]

Russell's replacement of the "Ohhh's" in the begining and middle of the song are ace. That's why I perfer this song live.
