Bloc Head
The "emo" and "multi-culti" band Bloc Party is the new critical darling of the British pop scene. And now, according to Billboard, frontman Kele Okereke has written a new song, "Hunting For Witches," in response to last year's bombings in London:
"The 30 bus in Hackney, which is just around the corner from where I live, was blown up. [The song was] written when I was just observing the reactions of the mainstream press. I guess the point about the song for me is post-September 11, the media has really traded on fear and the use of fear in controlling people."
That's right, the media has really traded on fear to control people. And the Islamists who killed 52 people who were just trying to get to work that morning? Well, that's just their way of saying, "We love you and just want to be friends."
Pssst... They know who blew up that bus, Kele. It wasn't witches.
