Kele Okereke And Bloc Party Might Still Be Breaking Up?... Or Not?

In the ongoing saga of frontman Kele Okereke versus Bloc Party, we're throwing in with the astute fellas over at SomeKindOfAwesome and calling the whole thing a hoax. Let's run through the recent spate of questionable events:

• Kele tells NME he's scared he's been fired because he saw his bandmates meet up outside a rehearsal space.

• Guitarist Russell Lissack confirms Kele's deepest fears to NME: "It's not really a secret because Kele's been pretty busy doing solo stuff...We were talking about just doing an instrumental thing, but now we might get a singer as well."

• Kele brings up the possibility of auditions in a weirdly jovial post about the NME exclusive on his blog: "a big part of me is laughing HARD at all of this but another part of me is all like WTF? im quite curious as to what a bloc party audition would be like? i wonder if they would let me sit on the panel so i could be a judge tyra banks style?"

• Young Legionnaire announces the time and place of the auditions in a tweet, with possibly meaningful quotations marks around the word "auditions" (cue suspicious chin stroke): "Live 'auditions' will take place tomorrow night at the Borderline, London, 9pm. Get there early to ensure a shot at the big time!"

• Bloc Party updates their blog with a post titled, "Bloc Party Is Still Bloc Party," and an old picture of all four band members, Kele included, animated in the style of Simpsons characters.

What does it all mean? Do you feel a sudden urge to buy music by Kele and/or Bloc Party, thereby proving these public shenanigans work? Or do you hate reading about all four buggers and never want to again? Take a break from stroking your chin suspiciously and let us know in the comments.
