The Only Way I’m Telefoning Tel Aviv is if I Can Reverse the Charges

February 26, 2009 – 10:30 am
I know that having Blogarhythms cut back to only two posts a week is pretty sucky.

Late last week British Post-Punk revivalists Bloc Party pulled a Gnarls Barkley-meets-Radiohead, releasing their latest LP ahead of any sort of industry-approved schedule and with little fanfare via their website.
