i've known never known what's good for me



Kele - Everything You Wanted
Seems like a love song through and through. Might refer to a break up he had, which he channeled the feelings into this very personal solo debut album of his, "The Boxer". Also, I think his solo album draws a lot of similar comparisons to "Intimacy" with its electronic elements and maybe lyrics wise as well.

Bloc Party - This Modern Love
Never really did listen to the stuff from "Silent Alarm", not sure why. It's never too late but I'm appreciating it. Kele's vocals sound much rawer here, unpolished, which suits this song to a T. The lyrics reflect something many of us can prolly relate to. And for all acoustic lovers, take a gander at this awesome up close and personal performance by Kele and Russell outside what I think is a pub.

Bloc Party - Biko

Bloc Party - So Here We Are
So tender; the soft rock + jangly guitar just gets at the odd nooks inside your body so wonderfully. I definitely must give "Silent Alarm" the proper many over.

let's have them parades and bring the house down



Foals - Olympic Airways

Foals - Cassius
It's nice how these guys actually stand up for each other. Foals vocalist, Yannis Philippakis along with of his own band members and that of Kaiser Chiefs, broke up an alleged attack on Bloc Party's vocalist Kele Okereke. In music, there should be no such thing as racism. Music is music, and it's love for all.

Bloc Party - One Month Off

The Republic Tigers - Buildings and Mountains
