Nothing dies a crueler death than trends. Bloc Party was hipped to the nines back in '05 by the cognoscenti, and has now all but vanished from their consciousness (who here remembers the laudatory reviews of Intimacy?). Which means it's now perfectly fine for me to get into them. Post-Punk revivalism may have had its hour in the moon already, but the techno-waves ridden by Lady GaGa and the ease with which Yeah Yeah Yeahs have souled their soul to electronica mean there's always a place to go, and go back to.
So I'll probably thank my friend that reminded me of them come easter time if I end up liking them.
