MOOPY ALBUM SYNC LISTEN - Bloc Party - A Weekend in the City - Tuesday 14/07 20:00

[COB]

Flux! I always remember this as a weird between-albums single, was it always on the album?

 

[GinAg (39)]

Fuck me Flux. More essential than water after taking pills.

 

[dmlaw]

Time for the winner of Moopy's favourite dance anthem. Yes it is.

 

[COB]

ROBBED DANCE ANTHEMS LEGEND

 

[COB]

Has it been robbed? Is it still in? I don't know anything any more

 

[dmlaw]

Flux! I always remember this as a weird between-albums single, was it always on the album?

Only on the special edition. I've had to stop the CD and play it on YouTube because I have the original.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Flux is legit one of my all time fave songs.

Would do it for karaoke.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

ARGGGHHH I missed this

 

[Tisch]

Flux! I always remember this as a weird between-albums single, was it always on the album?

Apparently not!

 

[dmlaw]

The video for Flux is amazing too. The giant robots are so charming. And the dancing monsters.

Under marked.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Sunday is cute. A song about hangovers after a dance banger is logical.

 

[dmlaw]

If we get up now, we can catch the afternoon
Watch the under-15s playing football in the park

I am agog at the quality of that lyric.

 

[COB]

This is making me really quite emotional!

[GinAg (39)]

And a nice upbeat banger about teen suicide to seal the deal.

 

[COB]

I always forget this last track... not sure why.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I assume he went to ART COLLEGE with boyfriend names such as Eugene and Clay.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Sadly Wiki tells me nothing of his life before Bloc Party.

 

[COB]

I assume he went to ART COLLEGE with boyfriend names such as Eugene and Clay.

This feels VERY likely.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Considering it's an extra track what a rousing finale.

Beautiful.

 

[GinAg (39)]

KELE WE SALUTE YOU!

WHAT AN ALBUM!

 

[dmlaw]

Sadly Wiki tells me nothing of his life before Bloc Party.

There's a little bit. Roman Catholic upbringing and a mention of continuing to study English Literature at university even after the release of Silent Alarm.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I know so little of them beyond this album.

RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE!

 

[COB]

Anyone fancy a quick extension with this PIANO BANGER?

 

[GinAg (39)]

Anyone fancy a quick extension with this PIANO BANGER?

NOT ON SPOTIFY. THE FUCK?

 

[dmlaw]

I know so little of them beyond this album.

RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE!

Go and listen to 'Talons' right now.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Final average mark = 9.0!

 

[GinAg (39)]

This was a good one tonight. I'm on a bit of a 00s indie pop binge now... The Gossip, Hot Chip, Goldfrapp, Yeah Yeah Yeahs... I often dismiss the 00s a bit, but their were some legit highs.

 

[Tisch]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs now THERE'S an idea. The It's Blitz album cover is one of my all time favourites. I NEED it on a poster.

 

[COB]

Just having a listen to this again and can't be arsed making a Classics thread just now, but WHAT A FUCKING ALBUM.

 

[ButterTart]

The Prayer is some of the best content the 00s provided. Absolute BANGER.
