oh hai.

 

i had the sudden urge to listen to AWITC earlier, might have to throw it on tonight, it's been too long.

I played Intimacy from track 3 to track 10 during the week. Astounding.

Are you not a fan of 'Ion Square'? :o

I can understand not liking the first two on the album (although I love them too!) but 'Ion Square' is one of their best imo!

'Ares' is one of my favs on Intimacy tbh!

Yes plz! It's probably my favourite, behind Talons.

No - I can take or leave Ares, Mercury and Ion Square - even though they all have some genius parts to them - I often just got from 3 to 10 and then put something else on.

bloc party listening session starting now :wub:

 

i miss our Bloc Party chats <3

 

 

Halo is my fav Intimacy track, but only became so when they opened with it last time i saw them, works so well as an opener to get everyone going mental.

I find it hard to decide what my fave is. Signs and Talons are up there but Trojan Horse, Better than Heaven and Zepherus are outstanding too.

The album is good but Ares actually gives me a headache. :blink:

Bloc Party Okereke's book "about bicycles"

 

Kele Okereke has told readers of his blog that he is writing a book "about bicycles".

 

Okereke previously told Eye magazine that he was working on an "erotic memoir detailing my experiences with groupies over the last five years".

 

Referencing an article from The Guardian, the Bloc Party frontman wrote: "guess which part of this news story is true and which part isnt? i really need to stop being so naughty in interviews but i cant help it. yes i am writing a book, its not about groupies. its about bicycles (sic)."

 

Okereke recently told NME that he is moving to Manhattan to finish the project, adding that there were no plans to reform Bloc Party. "I'm just focused on the book at the moment," he said.

 

Okereke previously spent time in New York while recording his solo album The Boxer which was released last year.

 

Oh FFS, I don't give a $h!t about a book on bicylcles, just get back together!

I'M DYING HERE. :(

Intimacy is like, my favourite album of theirs, no really. I keep coming back to it and it gets better and better <3

I don't like rating albums track by track but here we go:

10 Ares

05 Mercury

07 Halo

10 Biko

05 Trojan Horse

09 Signs

08 One Month Off

04 Zephyrus

09 Talons

06 Better Than Heaven

04 Ion Square

 

I should like those last two tracks so much more, but unfortunately i've been spoilt a little too much when it comes musical moments like those towards the end of Better Than Heaven, for example. I realise they're from two years ago, but the allegations of U2 similarity are simply FALSE.

OMG RANDOM INTIMACY ALBUM RATING

Signs is my fave but I wouldn't say it was much ahead of Trojan Horse or Zepherus. I can't really see them bettering Intimacy
