Radical Face has come up with a fascinating project, titled “Patients”, in which Ben Cooper (Radical Face himself, and one half of Electric President) will release 10 random songs of his on an album and then trade the album to people for anything.

Have you noticed we sometimes have themes here at Knox Road (see “Alliteration Day”)? Well this time it is merely coincidence that I am posting some mash-ups right after Jamie posted a mash-up.

Bloc Party – Intimacy
I know that Intimacy came out nearly 2 months ago, but I haven’t been able to wrap my head around it until now. Intimacy is a definite stray from Silent Alarm, and even A Weekend in The City. It seems to be a progression of sorts, going from Bloc Party‘s post-rock punkish sounds to a… Continue reading Bloc Party – Intimacy
