'I Still Remember' video premiere

The new video for 'I Still Remember', the first US single to be taken from 'A Weekend In The City', premiered today on MTV2 and MTVu. Directed by Aggressive, the video takes place on an eventful train journey. It's a world away from the video for 'The Prayer'; the dingy, druggy ambience being replaced by a shimmering feast for the senses (well, sight and hearing anyway) which should earn Bloc Party a lot of recognition Stateside.

Watch: 'I Still Remember' video

Labels: Singles, Videos

Holy mother, that is the greatest song ever written. (Ok, not exactly, but you know what I mean.) This album is going to kick, without a doubt.

"real fans of BP in Europe"

what a stupid thing to say. Kele would slap you. It never is just about the music anymore is it? It has to be, image this or degradation that.

God. It's brilliant. This had BETTER be the second single in the UK.

I actually LIKE the little cuts they've made from the album version.

And the 'same band in different poses' bit is surely a little homage to Director's "Come With A Friend" video :D

i love it. what else is there to say? it's absolutely brilliant. can't get enough of it. it took me a while to get into the prayer, which i love now, but this just blew me away on the first listen, and it's only getting better. holy shit, only 3 more weeks ...

I was having the same problem loading the video from mtv2's site, but I found it on mtvU's site and it worked fine. Anyone who's been having problems, try this link:

I love the video. Kele looks beautiful. Especially in that very last shot. I can't wait until they're here again.

Hey, can someone please Youtube the vid?

My connection seems to die whenever I try to watch videos online that require WMP.

Okay all, this is not spam...
There is a new pre-order offer from Insound.com- the first 1,000 orders for the new album receive a 7" single! This is the link: www.insound.com/blocparty

I'm not sure about international orders, but it's U.S. based if that helps.

Thanks to who posted it at you tube.

I prefer the prayer video, any time. This one is too "nice" for my taste.
