  1. Dude - blinks new music was delayed because of Tom and AVA. he wore a LOVE shirt to every fucking show. that's a freakin' statement. it's also the band thats the reason they split up in the first place, it's in extremely bad taste. A lot of what he was doing at the time was trying to bank roll through blink to fund AVA and it was transparent and dirty.

  2. The boards are really lucky to have members like @daveyjones and @ChuckDee on to discuss what is was like in the early days. Very interesting and entertaining thread.

  4. Yeah while I'm not a fan of Simple Creatures or current blink much in general, the Tom thing was a very deliberate slap in the face / marketing cash grab. The fans knew Toms focus was AVA and not blink, the band knew it, it was uncomfortable and shameless. Mark wearing a Simple Creatures T is just Mark doing what Mark does. He wore shit tons of the octopus shirts, the Atticus shirts, makes sense he'd wear SC and they're not in direct competition so I see no issue.

  5. Yeah the two aren’t even remotely similar. Nobody would care if Tom did AVA as a side project during blink down time. He literally used blink as a giant advertisement for AVA. He wore an AVA shirt through the entire reunion tour and passed out LOVE promo shit. On the Neighborhoods tour he released some shitty movie. And then on DED he did everything he could to get blink on modlife as a last ditch effort to keep it from going under.

  7. I don't know if it's technically the same thing. Mark never quit Blink and focused all of his priorities on his side project, he makes time for both and so far has balanced both quite well. I believe Tom had an AVA shirt on for every show of the reunion tour, or atleast for most.

  9. To me personally its pretty clear that blink is a top priority for Mark. If he were to choose between that or SC he wouldn't think twice. He just doesn't seem focused on it being a commercial and economically succes. Just feels humble, at least to me. Tom on the other hand used blink solely for PR for AvA, and made countless delays for a blink-album because he was to busy with AvA. Like previously stated, no wonder Tom only wanted to tour with blink. I can't really recall if I cared back then, but as things turned out I would have gotten crazy being Mark and looking at that tee every single night.

  11. Honestly i never cared for that shirt. Tom is ava, it was his main musical passion and was back on that tour and he was very open about it .mark should sport his SC sweater too. Who the fuck gives a shit what they are wearing? Its not like they wear offensive shirts... They wear what they are passionate about and what they want to promote, and they should. They are the reason people are showing up for those shows. The can do whatever they want. Its not like you'll be at a blink show, tom is wearing is ava shirt and people go like: ah yikes i should ditch blink and support just ava.... Tom was all about his weird ava shit since 2005. If he wears thst shirt or doesnt, doesnt make any difference....

  16. I got one of the old hot topic pressings i could let go for pretty cheap since the sleeve is a bit loved. Shipping would prob end up not being worth it f out You though as I’m sure you could find one on eBay that would end up being about the same but not shipping from Australia. If you’re still keen let me know.

  18. interesting. i don't have a super high end record playing rig, but my speakers and amp are pretty good. to me the CC first press sounds a little warmer than the SRC pressing. but then again, this stuff is all subjective.

  19. Because it shows an element of experimentation that has been sorely lacking since Skiba joined so everyone is sucking it off for that reason despite the fact it's a relatively average song off the album.

  21. Neighborhoods is halfway to an awesome album, overall it feels incomplete to my ears. The songs are formulaic as hell outside of FTG & Snake Charmer, and the production is just bad. Everything sounds muted with zero punch. Would it have killed them to write a vocal bridge like one time out of 12 songs or whatever it is? Having another writer/producer or two to tell them "lets try something different", and actually collaborating as a band would have made this album a 11/10. Its got its moments though, and I can't really describe the feeling of hearing Ghosts on the Dance Floor for the first time when it leaked... huge grin on my face

  22. Shutter Island is really amazing, I think it suffered from being overshadowed by Inception so much (going off memory here), but I liked it way more than Inception. Definitely in my top 3 with Departed and probably Gangs of NY. WOWS never really pulled me in, seems like such a frat movie.

  23. All The Small Things also aged well. It was only hated on because it was so popular. It's actually pretty chill.

  26. I thought it was fine, but unnecessary. In terms of quality, it felt on par with a filler episode of Breaking Bad (of which there were few).
