the website is only compiled as a countdown...

 

but what to?

Rumours suggest it'll be news on their third LP - with maybe a track to download or stream or possibly a youtube vid of them in the studio.

I'm hoping it will be a free download of a new song plus an update on the new album.

:o Whatever it is I can't wait!

They're quite possibly my favourite band and whatever the countdown is for, I have no doubt that it will be AMAZING!

Oh damn! I'm gonna be in school when whatever it is happens. I hope it's not a limited edition thing because if it is, by the time I get home, I bet it will all be gone! :(

I just went on wikipedia (I'm getting really excited about this whole thing!) and it says that it's probably to coincide with he 7/7 bombings.

I thought of this too, because lots of the songs on AWITC were about this or similar things.

Hopefully some new material!

Interesting :o I can't wait to see what this is all about :dance:

I've heard that its a countdown to an announcement that they will be splitting up.

Bloc Party irritate fans with 'countdown'

 

Bloc Party have angered fans by posting a cryptic countdown on their website, Blocparty.com, which simply revealed a plug for a radio show when the time reached zero at 11am (BST) today.

 

Fans have e-mailed NME.COM to voice their displeasure at the stunt. It was speculated that Bloc Party may give away new music when the countdown reached zero.

 

Instead, at 11am the countdown disappeared to reveal a radio plug for Zane Lowe's show on BBC Radio 1, set to air tonight (July 7) at 7:30pm.

 

"It's a bit pointless," wrote NME.COM user 'Jackie'. "They could have just put up the info about the show on their website and not got our hopes up about the possibility of hearing new music straightaway."

 

There is no information yet on Zane Lowe's BBC homepage as to what will feature on tonight's show, but many fans who contacted NME.COM are still expecting new material.

I don't know why people are so annoyed - it could have just een a new website!

I can't wait to tune into Zane tonight...hopefully with some new material :dance:

Well if it's at 7.30 then that's when Zane Lowe normally plays the 'Hottest Record In The World', so i'd say it's fairly likely that he's going to play a new track...

i was irritated myself.

 

still looking forward to Zane Lowe though, i havent listened to him for awhile.
