bloc party frustration
I got shut out of Bloc Party's first Boston appearance tonight. I take pride in my ticket-obtaining abilities and I also am willing to pay way too much to see rock, but even hall-of-famers have bad nights. The local club was crawling with obsessed kids, and nobody was selling anything. This band seems poised to completely explode. They really seem to touch a nerve with people who have resisted the new New Wave to date.
I don't feel so over-the-top about my calling this disc possibly the best of the decade (and I missed a chance to call it the best of the century!) now that I realize I have company: read this A+ review in Stylus.
There is some good stuff at the band's web site here, including a live track, a good b-side, and a perfunctory dance mix of "Banquet".
