A little more about Block:

On his soon to be released album 'The Last Single Guy,' Block expounds on his days as an East Village stalwart in the anti-folk scene of the mid-90's. The songs on the album slip inexorably between biting irony and deep melancholy, playing out like the contemporary aural equivalent of Salinger's Nine Stories. Each piece in the collection is populated by characters who are recognizably human in their complexity, as the cadences of Block's lyrics locate a common ground between mechanical beats and dangling conversations.
