Rome wasn't built in a day
Having been lucky enough to see Bloc Party at close quarters @ King Tuts in Glasgow and having met Kele briefly, I'd say Top Band, Top Bloke, Fuck The Media. It's not their fault they've been over-exposed early on.
Biffy had to get on 14th Floor/Warners with their 4th album before they got any decent tv advertising / serious promo muscle, by which time they've been able to grow steadily.
Regardless of what you think of DiS, it's a zine's job to rave about the bands it likes. If they didn't, it would be boring.
Put me down for a copy.
excellent band
hope lots of lovely things happen for them
buy-buy-buy

A Streetcar named, um, emo? F4AF offer new material...
They've got from now till the end of the 2006 tax year to turn a profit or they'll be dropped. It's hard to imagine them succeeding where better bands like HIFH and 100 Reasons have failed *unless* they really sell-out and water down their sound to slick FM radio friendly proportions. They're definitely careerist enough to bend over and take one for the industry. It's either that or they definitely will get dropped. Yourcodenameis: milo will definitely get dropped too being on Polydor/Fiction because they don't appear to want to put out anything vaguely commercial, which beggars belief in the flawed wisdom that made them sign to such a poor label for guitar rock bands that don't write stadium ballads for lighters.

I thought Nu-Clear sounds was the downfall of Ash.
At least she gives them sex appeal!!!
Besides, it's a welcome distraction from comedy drummer haircuts.
*ahem*
back to the topic - looks like a great tour

Distophia and Fickle Public go head-to-head
As I'm promoting the Dundee gig, I emailed Distophia a week ago about getting a press pack and some music off them to help with promotion but as yet have heard nothing from them...if anyone from the band would like to get in touch that'd be an idea ;) Otherwise it'll be a Fickle Public only affair.

The Emperor's New Clothes
OR 10 years from now no-one may remember who Bloc Party were, along with The Futureheads. Franz may be remembered if they are lucky. Some people have totally lost all focus on this particular trend. I like Bloc Party *a lot*, pay to watch them live, have the album etc but I still doubt whether they will stand up to the test of time. I'd be chuffed for them if they do - but it won't be on their current material if that is to be the case. There are a lot of UK bands with much better Tunes than BP, Jetplane Landing being infinitely better in my opinion. And being in such a glaring spotlight with the world kissing their arse isn't going to really push them to be creative now is it? Comfort does not breed creativity. I hope when the hype dies down and a new trend appears that they can deliver THEN when it really matters. Their album going to no.1 now would not count for as much because it's TRENDY to buy their record at this point in time. And as Papa Roach will testify, kids can be cruel :)
