[/qb][/QUOTE]Yeah, M83 is remixing "Pioneers". Can't wait to hear that... [/QB][/QUOTE]
 
 Um its already out. Actually a lot of these remixes were b-sides on the EPs and singles already. The Four Tet, Mogwai, and M83 remixes were bonus tracks on the Japanese edition of Silent Alarm.

I listened to their full album online, and I heard some real peaks and valleys.  And honestly, I have not heard regular paper rave over the album much, whereas the Bloc Party disc gets a lot of feedback like you see above -- solid album.  I'm skipping K.C. tonight as well... [/b]
Well if it's a reliable guage, Kaiser Chiefs get 77 on metacritic, versus 81 for Bloc Party, 79 for the new Teenage Fanclub, 68 for the latest Tegan & Sara, and 63 for Dressy Bessy's most recent.

Well Wedding Crashers got a 64 on metacritic, and about a 98 on the 9:30 chatboard.

I agree with all but the Kaiser review...as is always the case with music, I just don't get about half the Kaiser Chiefs albums.  But there are some outstanding tracks on it.

Um, I'm not paying $30+ for a few remixes. And I can't seem to find the track online w/o having to download the whole album. I don't mess with singles and imports, unless of course, it's Radiohead...

yea, most definately worth traveling to see. the black cat show was good. lots of energy, but bad sound. the 930 show was great. the crowd sucked, which really says alot, that they were able to still put on a good show. check out www.npr.com for a free download of the 930 club show.
 GOD BLESS BLOC PARTY!

go to the kaiser chiefs show!
 i picked up their album as soon as it came out (notably; before i checked out bloc party...)
 
 it's pretty catchy and fun, and i have a feeling that they'll put on a REALLY fun live show.
 
 what i like about this band is that they ARE putting out some of the generic sounding stuff, but it's got a fun dancey twist that's really enjoyable.
 
 
 i can't attend, unfortunately.  please go dance yourself silly for me.

Some friends of mine saw kaiser chiefs in new york a few months back (maybe longer than that). apparently it was one of the best shows they had seen. i had to sell my tickets as im headed to chicago, but considering how great they're supposed to be live, im willing to think its going to be a great show.
 
 oh then again, ill be seeing KC tomorrow!  :D

Kaiser Chiefs lived up to the hype.
 
 The crowd started out kinda lame (similar to the last Bloc Party show at 9:30) But they had the place jumping by the third song.
 
 The non-Employment songs were really good live.
