I thought I’d write about all the homophobic morons in my state who showed up in droves to insert a clearly religion-based law into my state constitution. I thought I’d write about the nausea I felt in reading that the Kansas Board of Education now officially supports intelligent design, thus making sure they get a shot at turning students in their state into the good God-fearing citizens they need to one day become.
Instead, I’ll just mention that you need to check out a band from the UK called Bloc Party. The closest I can come to a description is (and don’t quote me on this) a pop-rock band making liberal use of electronic instruments and devices for effect. And their drummer is ridiculously creative.
Since that really doesn’t help, this is what they say about themselves:
Bloc Party is an autonomous unit of un-extraordinary kids reared on pop culture between the years of 1976 and the present day. Like many such kids, between them they eventually concluded that their own attempts to imitate what had informed them could be construed as a worthy variation on the many forms that preceded. They do everything that's required to conform to the currently received ideas of what a band is: ostensibly to play instruments at the same time, but also have a title for the work created.

yes, this is a comments bar, but distributing URLs to one's blog is not exactly the same as hitting on someone. i expect a little more in the way of sleaziness.
