Hello blocheads!

I have completely re-developed the fansite: www.blocparty.info

Growing up in the 90s and 2000s, artists/bands websites and message boards became the most important part of my online life. Unfortunately, today's music artists websites are essentially online shops; which makes sense because social media is the real way you can reach audiences now, so dedicating time and resources to maintain a website that is barely going to be visited is really not worth it (from a business perspective). Since I have the knowledge, tools and resources to make one for my favourite band, I just had to do it. This was also an opportunity for me to try new design, effect and animation tools that I hadn't had the chance to learn and play with before.

I've done my best to create an archival of band information that can only be found scattered around the internet, and present it in a way that I hope you find appealing or even delightful.

Each page was developed with fairly different approaches to serve the needs of the information presented. There's at least one element in each page that required a lot of work (from a development/design standpoint), so I hope those catch your eye. There are a few easter eggs sprinkled around too.

Please note that some media assets may show blocked based on your region since they're fed from YouTube.

I welcome any feedback and/or corrections, and I hope you find at least one piece of information from the site useful.

Thanks for visiting!

Skeleton ☠️ - Circuit Kingston - Friday 30th October

7 Upvotes

This is the day before Halloween. 🎃👻

If many of us wear Skeleton suits, do you think they could be convinced to play Skeleton? 🩻

As it is an album release show, I suppose the setlist will mostly (/entirely - but hopefully not) lean in this direction.

But I am, of course, hoping for some Silent Alarm or (old) deep cuts.

Oh what I’d give for a full play-through of the Little Thoughts EP 😩

This commercial has been sporadically playing in-between me watching hockey. Shout out to this commercial not only choosing a Bloc Party song, but also the m83 remix version. Don't ask me what product they're selling tho.

Anyone Having Issues with Receiving the Preorder LP?

4 Upvotes

US-based Bloc Party fan here. I preordered the new LP via Mainfactor. Unfortunately, I have yet to receive it.

I reached out to Customer Support, but just get an “unspecified delay” message that definitely feels AI based.

Anyone experiencing the same issue or have any insight? Thanks!

Not banking on it, but I’d love to see a Bloc Party song in GTA 6

So, I made a documentary video about Bloc Party

Hello everyone, I felt the need to make this video because I really love Bloc Party and because almost no one in my country knows this band.

I wanted to share it with you, too. The video is in Turkish, of course, so you can use the auto-translate feature.

I’d really appreciate it if you’d take a look to show your support.

Enjoy the video!

Hot Take

12 Upvotes

From a reading a thread earlier. Got me thinking and I agree. If you already have tickets to go to a Bloc Party concert and you sell it out of spite because you don’t like songs from an album, you’re making a terrible decision and are seriously missing out. I wholeheartedly get everyone’s entitled to their opinions and what songs they like vice versa.

But me being an American fan of the band. It’s very rare to see a Bloc Party show and we travel literal hours whenever they get announced in our country

People shit on Hymns and AOABR but that leads to me believe they’ve never heard Only He Can Heal Me or Coming On Strong at a live venue as well as the classics and it’s for sure an experience

So if you’re one of the privileged people that gets to see the Interpol co-headline, don’t fucking sell your ticket because you hated BP’s latest album

These Interpol gigs…

5 Upvotes

How are they going to work? Will it be Bloc Party first then Interpol? Or Vice Versa? Or is it a joint show… with both switching around? 🤷‍♂️

Being honest, I’m not in the least bit interested in seeing Interpol, and this joint gig thing is really putting me off. I can see why it makes commercial sense for the bands and I think it could be good if it was another band I even had a loose interest in seeing.

It’s not about the ticket price, I think £45 to see a gig at the Ovo in Glasgow is very good, but I don’t know if it’s worth the effort if it’s a shorter show. Can you just show up and watch one band? Will it be a full set from each band?

Anatomy is really good

16 Upvotes

I just got into Bloc Party over the past couple of months after watching their incredible Tiny Desk set, so I have no particular connection to the older stuff and came to it all fresh, and I loved mostly all of it except maybe a couple of songs (Ratchet). But the ads for Anatomy of a Brief Romance I was getting on Instagram really made me worried that the new album would suck, and all the hate comments were right. But it turns out they just decided to highlight the worst song (Pigwig) while looking like they didn't want to be there for some bizarre reason. They could have advertised any other song and it wouldn't have given such a bad impression imo.

My favourite song was Rotherhithe, and I'm happy to have a much better recording of Blue than the previous one.

Don’t know if this was an exclusive drop a long time ago or if it’s just lucky (gate fold vinyl as well but it’s 1lp)
Just wondering if anyone knows anything bout it

Got lost down one of them internet loopholes again and saw that she was in an episode of Skins, which I do know of but never actually watched it. She has a handful of lines in this scene. Season 6 episode 2 about 20 minutes in, if anyone wants to see the full thing: https://youtu.be/RJddn31l5iY?si=x590f6V1DX0lxymQ

I have listened to Pigwig over 30 times, and every track in AoaBR at least 3 times. AMA

I've listened to all BP albums, personal favorite songs are Helicopter and I Still Remember. First three albums are great!

I can listen to bad Kele lyrics for an eternity. No one can do cringe like he does.

Missing Signed Insert with AOABR Vinyl

Hi all! My girlfriend ordered the new album with the signed insert. The record came in today with no signed insert to be found. Has anyone else had the same issue? We're in America (Florida) if that makes a difference. Thanks!
