Dark green enough to be blue

Happy Bloc Party Day! Not really, but I have two important news from the Bloc. 

Bad news first. Kele Okereke got in a fight with John Lydon/Sex Pistols entourage over a racist remark aimed at Okereke. How lame, srsly. Okereke > anything to do with Sex Pistols. Apparently some members of the Kaiser Chiefs & the Foals got into the fight to on Okereke's behalf. & of all the places to be hurt on a singer, of course Okereke's lip got split. Read allll about it.

Now for the good news! Bloc Party's bassist Gordon Moakes is going to be a papa! & a thumpin' good one at that. He writes a little note on their website & advises us "young 'uns" to "keep on rockin'." Will do Gordon, will do. 

Speaking of rocking, Stereogum has some pictures from the Pfork festival. It's a happy array of Fleet Foxes & Vampire Weekend so clicking can't hurt you.
