I have been quite a big fan of Bloc Party for the past few years. Their album "Weekend in the City" was my sound track for 2007 and I still listen some songs from the album quite frequently.
I noticed the new single "One More Chance" in the beginning of September on YouTube went to iTunes and downloaded it straight away.
The song starts with keyboard riff that could (maybe it is) be from any 90s pop song. Somehow it brings to mind Rick Astley. The rest of the song is pretty much the basic Bloc Party quality. Song is quite catchy and you can hear that it is not made by with no musical talent but still it does not make you listen to it again and again like Flux when it first came out.
Even though I am a big fan of Bloc Party, I must say that I am afraid they might have showed us everything they've got give. The fourth album must be something completely different and awesome for me to give one more chance to Bloc Party.

Bastards
So on Saturday I went to see "Inglorious Bastards". I really liked the movie and do not understand why some people are whining that it is not as brilliant as some other movies by Mr. T. Of course it is not as good as his best work. This movie does not try to be a very meaningful or revolutionary movie. It is just simply a very entertaining adventure movie with really good characters.
My favorite was Colonel Hans Landa, he was the true bastard in this movie. Also I must mention Diane Krüger as Bridget von Hammersmark. She was like reincarnation of movie star from the 1940's and extremely attractive. However I do not think Brad Pitt's performance was all that great or worth mentioning. He did a solid role but there is no reason to call it especially good.
The movie also flipped the role of Jews to the role of the mass murderer. Just proves that mass murder is mass murder irregardless of the party that actually does it. Actually all of the characters were not particularly likeable. Everyone seemed to be bastard of some sort and definitely everyone was killer.
But in some situations turning the other cheek just is not enough.
PS.
Crap. Now I started to search for meaning in this film, which it really does not have. If you really like a good adventure film with ambiance from the 1940's, go see this film.

New Weezer rocks!
Have you heard the new single by Weezer? It's freaking awesome. Go and listen it here.
This song just makes me feel that it is 2001 again when first heard Hash Pipe. Of course Weezer was not to me in 2001, but somehow I they just went vanished after 1994. I guess for a nine year old anything that does not play on MTV does not exist. Maybe the situation is still the same.
Listening to Weezer (and Clash, and many others) was my coping strategy through High School. Weezers melancholic songs about people that were not on the main stream seamed to comfort me and kept me going.
I really hope the new album is as good as the new single. If I remember correctly the album is out October 27th. What I know for sure that it is called Raditude.
