If you're a Bloc Party fan and you're not a member of the Marshals (their fan club), then you're doing yourself a major disservice. Like with most fan clubs by signing up you can get offers for music and tickets way before the rest of the lame's out there. But more importantly is the insanely huge community of rabid fans that are always posting images of shows, discussing music, and meeting other fans. So if you're not already a member click here and act like you always have been.

Remember how Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire totally made Jarvis Cocker's career? It brought him out of complete obscurity and made him into a star. We're hoping that the new film "Let It Be" produced by Andrew Meyer (Fried Green Tomatoes, The Breakfast Club) and staring the Lips, will immortalize their place in rock n' roll history. The film begins production in May of 2008, and rest assured we'll keep you updated.

In other Black Lips news, you can scroll on over to Viva-Radio and check out a session the Lips did a little while back to talk about Dunwoody High School and the state of jock fashion.

Also, to everyone's surprise the boys are going to do a few more shows while they have some time off. It's like a Black Lips version of Sherman's March through the South. Make sure to check them out as the TAKE THE SOUTH BACK!

Munich, Germany - To a packed crowd at the Olympiahalle Justice confidently took home the MTV Europe Video of The Year award for an unprecedented back to back win. Kanye was noticeably absent while the award was handed over as was any kind of liquor fueled concession speech. Dailymotion has the proceedings posted here so you can watch Justice accept the award uninterrupted. Congratulations boys on your 2nd Video of The Year award!
