Yeah - I'm not as fond of Farewell Continental but they're fun. I'll give Panic Stations another shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau5 Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Maybe I should try with Motion again, but the lead singer's voice just annoyed me too much. It was too high-pitched for my liking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked Ocean Avenue when I was 14 or 15, didn't hear it for a decade or so, heard a few songs recently and Ryan sounded so damn whiney. It's weird, it's still decent music but didn't age with my tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still listen to them a little bit, but I can now hear why other people used to always complain about Jordan's voice.

zzzz Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Mark was on a podcast yesterday, very interesting if you've got 2 hours to blow and want to skip through some ads/songs. https://secure-hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/a/d/5/ad51b7a7bf66004c/JR118_Just_A_Kid_From_Ridgecrest_CA.mp3?c_id=20322014&expiration=1523472527&hwt=76566e8b350dd353abdec82e0968d9f4 Here are the highlights: -Currently has 4 houses, doesn’t live in any. (Idaho, London, San Diego, Beverly Hills) -First punk rock song he heard and liked "Silly Girl" Descendants, 1988 gf showed him -"We were very DYI coming up in San Diego through a small club called SOMA. I was literally driving around to record stores dropping off our demos once a week, getting tapes made, going to Kinko’s and photocopying covers. So when we got signed to an Indie label it was like “Wait, so we don’t have to do this stuff all ourselves?”" -Only reason they got signed is because the owner of a label’s son liked them and kept putting their demo in his dad’s car stereo -They started getting more shows and he started doing poorly in college because he was missing full weeks, and his mom said “You only get once chance to be in a band. You can always go back to college” -Dad was pretty supportive but he doesn’t think he quite “got it” until Blink played Leno in 1999 -"We never felt like we were these “artists” on stage and you come to see us perform. Blink has always been this thing we’re all apart of." -Produced “Paused” band. “If I’m producing a band I want them to sound good, but I want them to sound like themselves." 01:04:00 first mention of new lineup “Supergroup” -“When Tom left again we had these shows booked, Travis and I didn’t want to cancel. We went to Matt, he was the only person we went to." -“It’s such a humbling thing for after 10 years of drama to have people chanting SKIBA and to be so accepting of Blink in whatever lineup, and for California to do as well as it did. It’s just really cool.” “The really cool thing is we go play shows and we’ll play songs that were popular in their day and people are like mehhh, and then we play California tracks and people go NUTS” -"When Travis joined that’s where Blink really made a turn and that’s where I really feel like Blink found it’s sound." -Mumford and Sons are giant Blink-182 fans -"The day that I moved to San Diego I went to Tom’s house, we met each other, and we started writing music that night. The beginnings of Carousel, the first song we ever wrote together." 1:36:00 Asking about what got in the way with Tom -"Life just happens, think about when you’re in high school, and think about who you’re friends with now… how many people are you close to from 25 years ago? Different interests, different paths, there’s no hard feelings." -"I understand all the feelings/posts, from the fans, I would feel the same myself. Even 40 years later I think, “Why did Paul and John not get along? You’re the Beatles how do you not figure it out guys?!”" -"Tension makes good music, but you can have that tension without drama, or fighting with people." -"I no longer drink before shows. I want to be just me, if I miss a note, it’s all me. When I play a show I want to do the best I can do." -Currently listening to “Slotface”, Scandinavian punk rock band -Justin Timberlake was most flattered on ASTS video, he loved it. -"I feel like Blink is the last of the “CD/Download/Napster” era that made it through and is still going. We’ve been very lucky. The whole scene we came out of has so many amazing bands/songwriters that just didn’t get to shine." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vic vinegar Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 The last blink show I went to were crickets for California songs outside of BTD, which got a modest pop. Whatever Mark has to tell himself to sleep at night. WMAA got the biggest pop of the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California songs were a hit in the OKC, KC, Dallas, and St. Louis shows I went to during their last touring cycle. The second Up All Night came on half the crowd either went to sleep or went to go buy another beer/piss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
