Bloc Party's 'Signs' soundtracks Gossip Girl
A mixture of the acoustic and album versions of 'Signs' plays during a recent episode of American teen drama Gossip Girl. No idea on the plotline, but it's all a bit emotional...

Bloc Party to perform on 'Later' tomorrow night
Bloc Party will be performing on 'Later...with Jools Holland' tomorrow (Friday 25th May) alongside LCD Soundsystem, Wilco and Joan Armatrading. This goes out on BBC2 at 11:35pm, but check back for some YouTube action if you live outside the UK. Here's a video interview with Kele and Matt recorded in the Later... studios.
The band also appeared on this show way back in November 2004 - making their first television performance in front of an audience largely oblivious to the joys of Bloc Party. Read a pre-show interview here, and watch their fresh-faced performances of 'Helicopter' and 'Like Eating Glass':

'SRXT' soundtracks Grey's Anatomy
From Bloc Party's Myspace...
As much as we might not want to admit it, getting on Grey's Anatomy is a pretty big deal. And not only are Bloc Party going to be on the show today, Thursday May 3rd, but 'SRXT' basically soundtracks the last 6 minutes of the show. Take that and smoke it.
As long as you've got the TiVo working overtime today, might as well switch it on for Carson Daly's Outdoor Concert Series where Bloc Party will be performing another choice cut off 'A Weekend In The City'. It's been a while since we've been so enamoured with our TVs.
