      Bloc Party were huge in the indie scene at the time! Unfortunately the UK music scene is now obsessed with pushing Stormzy and absolute garbage rap/grime music instead of genuinely creative stuff like this!

    This song man. Something about the hopefulness of the lyrics contrasted with nervous behavior and fleeting escapism of drugs is too true. Going out always treads the same territory. Anticipation, hopefulness, brief happiness, coming down, reality. Weekend in the city does these themes justice. I love you bloc party. x

    I had a lot on my plate and had chemical assistance for business use when this was radio played in daytime - it would fill my head ( the tune) and I’d picture the narrative which was unusually direct ( for want of better ) in describing a common theme to us all I guess , But had never been put so brilliantly to suit 7” single time . Ten yrs later I’m watching this for first time and my druggie interpretation back then was exactly what the band meant after all - These fellas are as clever and original in style as Van Der Graff Generator were back in 1969. Genius stuff - hope they are being appreciated in 2019 and if their creative juices did dry up , the album serves as testament to real accessible but non mainstream music.

    I remember hearing this in HMV in about 2007 and being blown away. I was too embarrassed to ask the assistants what it was(dunno why now!?) but I eventually tracked it down pretty damn quick and have loved it since. The video is just a bonus. Love the bad dancing and the setting. Reminds me of 80s parties in bad pubs. (great pubs)
