Love Muisc Hate Racism

Bloc Party will appear on a special compilation CD in aid of the Love Music Hate Racism campaign, given away free with the October 10th issue of NME next month. There's no official tracklisting yet, but according to the official LMHR site, the Bloc Party contribution is likely to be a Diplo remix of 'Where Is Home?'. Other artists featured on the CD include Dirty Pretty Things, Maximo Park and Lethal Bizzle.

Speaking to NME, Kele had this to say about Bloc Party's involvement in the project:

"The thing is, I heard what the BNP were proposing to do [giving away albums by white power bands outside British schools and universities] and it sent a real shiver down my spine. They're an evil organisation and the thought of them handing out stuff to young impressionable minds is incredibly frightening. Anything we can do as a band to raise awareness we will do."






Thanks to Bloc Party.net for the heads up.
