yeah obviously they deserve a break. but i'm getting really worried Bloctober my turn out to be a farewell tour. what with Kele's uncertainty about future releases.

well, guess bloc party is done. What a shame, seriously. I'd never thought it would come down to this, they're such imaginative people

I highly highly doubt that bloc are saying farewell. They have released 3 albums in 5 years, broken america, toured relentlessly and have also thrown in some separate non-album releases (two more years, flux, one more chance). On top of that they have recorded a plethora of b-sides and Gordon's wife has recently given birth.

Regardless of their success, the band need a rest and need a bit of time to live a normal life. Continuing such a hectic schedule without some sort of recuperation would undoubtedly have a detrimental effect upon the bands creativity and future releases.

i love lamp!

Yea kele seems kinda out of it, i mean, he doesnt even care about the videos anymore and doesnt take part in them? It seems like he's just kinda annoyed with everything. Man, i'd give anything to have a band like them, they've accomplished so much and they're all beyond talented members. Man i just realized how unique each one is, these guys are soooo lucky to have found each other and start a band. Bloc i hope you're just taking a long break, but please come back. Im an american and it seems like alot of people know about u guys, u guys broke into america, and thats not easy with all of the other shit music playing. U guys sell out EVERYWHERE, hell, i have to make sure i get tickets early or they get sold out. Dont leave us!
