What is a Breezeblock?

The past few days a song had been stuck in my head. A song that I heard for the first time three days ago. It's called Breezeblocks by Alt+J. First question: What is a Breezeblock? A Breezeblock is a building block made from random materials bonded by cement. You've probably seen one before; it looks like the picture below.
Second question: What happens when you press Alt+J on the keyboard? If you use a PC then it does absolutely nothing.
On a Mac it makes the symbol ∆ which is the uppercase Greek letter Delta. If you think that's interesting, wait till you hear what the song is about. Breezeblocks was inspired mainly by the book, "Where the Wild Thing Are." More specifically it's from the end where the wild things say, "Oh, please don't go! We'll eat you whole! We love you so!" The song is about someone who is in love so much that they would be willing to do anything for that love. Even if it involves hurting themselves or the other person. The song was released on May of last year and reached #6 on the UK Indie Charts. You can check it out here:


Until next time, roll the Mellow Dice and hope for Midnight.
