You can tell when pop star types are busy, because when their new video comes out they are nowhere to be seen.

Bloc Party would have looked just darling scampering through the enchanted forest you'll find in their new video for "One Month Off". Having said that you can't blame them for giving it a miss when you consider that it seems to hide tanks and evil lazer-shooting camerabots 'neath its verdant verges.

Oh, and they shoot the shit out of Little Miss Muffet, Hansel And Gretel and Humpty Dumpty. For no reason. Merry Christmas from Bloc Party.
