Brent Hodge, a film maker from Vancouver, Canada, has sent over this video he made of Bloc Party's gig in his home town earlier this year...enjoy!
Brent is a self-confessed Bloc Party addict and has posted various other Bloc-related media on his online videoblog: Hodgee Podgee. Here are BLOG PARTY's favourites...
'I Carry Your Heart'...based on E. E. Cummings' beautiful poem (which also inspired the lyrics of 'Ion Square'), soundtracked by 'SRXT'
'My Scars'...a video poem written by Brent Hodge about 'the hardships of reaching your goals...no matter what path you choose in life, where you end up, what you want, or who you're with, you will always have your memories and your scars'. Soundtracked by the early live version of 'Compliments'.

Apologies for the lack of updates recently...all is quiet at the moment. Rumours suggest that the next single will be 'Signs', but there's been no announcement yet. With Bloc Party's recent unorthodox release plan, it wouldn't be too surprising if they announced that the next single will be released in hologram format, available only in the Siberian branch of HMV.
In the meantime, here's a lovely Bloc-related collage I stumbled across on Flickr earlier...

This wallpaper was sent to me today by Samuel Hemmilä from Sweden. It's based on the video for 'The Pioneers' and I thought it was rather cool...

Here's the second issue of the Bloc Party comic strip, this time also featuring Kaiser Chiefs, made by Anant Naik using photographs from 'Marshals'.
By the way, 'This Modern Art' is still open for submissions. If you've created any drawings, computer graphics or other artwork related to the band, send them over to me along with your name and I'll post them up on blocparty.net!
