Sorry our Bloc Party prizepack giveaway disappeared temporarily. So many of you want it, our inbox complained. New rules to enter: just post why you love Bloc Party in the comments. You have to include a valid e-mail (don’t worry, it won’t display on the page) or we won’t be able to contact you. If you already e-mailed, you’re still in the running.
Now we’re giving away TWO sets of CD/DVDs, so your odds increased.
The dudes behind your 3rd favorite album of 2005 have a DVD on the way. It’s called God Bless Bloc Party. (God blessed the Go-Go’s and the Blake Babies and look how well that worked out!). The one-hour documentary (rockumentary? blocumentary?) includes live performances, backstage footage, insightful Q&A, Yacht Rock, etc…
Stereogum’s got an exclusive sneak preview here (MOV).
PRIZE INCLUDES
For the visually impaired, here’s some audio action.
There are some cool MSTRKRFT remixes at MSPC. Heard ‘em already? Then head to The Prettiest Pony for “Paris,” a MSTRKRFT tune that’s not even finished yet.
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. Congrats to the two winners!











































i love bloc party because silent alarm was playing in the background when I got laid
So necessary and so urgent, and so coolly unpretentious.
I eat puppy dog tails with snails and spicey curry. To aid transition from mouth to stomach, I drink washing up liquid that has been stirred into milk with a chicken bone.
Listening to Bloc Party makes this bearable, which is why I lurve them.
I love Clap Your Hands Say Yeah because I think they are the hott- This is about Bloc Party?
I love Bloc Party because they are british and have cool accents. ^_^
what is with all the racist comments people? you love them “because you didnt know the singer was black” and “because matt tong saved asian face by rocking so hard”. WHO CARES WHAT COLOR THEY ARE? ok fine. i love them because Gordon Moakes is white anglo saxon. and because Russell is jewish.
and by the way they are not communists.
IS IT TOO LATE TO SAY BLOC PARTY ROCKS BECAUSE THEY GIVE ME A HUGE, FAT GIRLY BONER? AND INSPIRE ME TO WRITE IN CAPS ABOUT IT
I love Bloc Party because “Silent Alarm” is the perfect soundtrack for sex.
First, they have the song that goes “Are you having fun little girl?” You don’t need me to explain what happens there.
Then, on another track the singer starts belowing with intensity, “Something glorious is about to happen!” Obviously that’s when I shoot it right in her face.
What do I win?
I love Bloc Party because their music, for but a moment, takes me away from my lousy life.
I love bloc party because it proves black people don’t JUST write that hip-hop stuff! HEY!
i love bloc party because my friend who is serving a year and a half in iraq emailed me and told me i must buy and expressed how much he likes it. if it can make him happy while he is miserable in IRAQ, then they are fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Bloc Party because they sound like bands that are better than them.
i love bloc party because the drummer is my cousin. he’s not but when i tell people that they believe me. then they refer to me as “the drummer from bloc party’s cousin.” true story.
I love bloc party because they suck. I love bloc party because they make all the gay dudes dance even gayer. I love bloc party because Williamsburg chokes on chicken bones and coke puke. I love bloc party because my penis was orange this morning when I woke up and the only antidote was bloc party.. so whaddya think about that fucko.. yeah that’s what I thought BLOC PARTY!
bloc party haiku
arms flailing
un-silent alarm!
I like Bloc Party… but if i say true i don’t know why! Just like and that’s all.
Because this is America, dammit – even if they are from the UK – and I can love whatever band I want.
i love the way bloc party makes me feel after an exhausting day at work. stayed an extra hour at work yesterday just to catch their live session on lacmaq live on radio1 yesterday
I love Bloc Party because they’re filling the bad pun band name quota. And thats something I feel strongly about.
Did I win yet?
I love bloc party because i can dance like an idiot to Banquet while working.
I love Bloc Party because it allowed me to come out of the pop rock closet. I can finally claim the music in front of my indie rock friends without being thrown out of their boxed wine music salons.

I love bloc party because i kissed the guitarist russell before kissing boys in indy bands with floppy fringes was cool..
i love russell lissack, is he jewish?
bloc party? fav. band? HELL YES why? they always just seem to amaze me……and some of their songs make me wanna head bang and shit and others make me wanna get the lighters and wave ‘em around
so russell is gay then? i thought one of them was…i just didn’t know which one! good album though. wasn’t sure about “2 More Years” though.
I dunno i suppose theyre alright but the black man should look in the mirror and see he is black. Jesus he sounds like a white man and sings badly like a white man!
