Caroline Bermudez reports:
The summer concert season is not quite upon us and our index fingers are already tired. Between the hordes of festivals (especially here in our neck of the woods) and certain tours that inexplicably sell out in two minutes, the redial button on our phone and the refresh button on our browser have become our best friends.
Bloc Party are definitely not make things any easier, having just announced a string of North American dates with the likes of the Secret Machines and Broken Social Scene. Oh, and the Brooklyn show takes place in an empty public pool.

As previously reported, Bloc Party is working on a new album in London with producer Jacknife Lee. Track titles include "Hunting for Witches", "Waiting for the 7.18", "Kreuzberg", "Cruel", "Merge on the Freeway", "Into the Blue", "Kids", "The Present", and "Machines". No word on when the new album will come out, but it is expected late this year.
To hear a live version of "Waiting for the 7.18" recorded at Coachella, head over to the Bloc Party blog, the awesomely monikered Blog Party.
