i do not believe that tom will ever again be a writing / recording member of blink. commemorative and/or limited live shows only.

couple things to post since the board is very quiet lately. mark had a piece in GQ's latest issue about his cancer journey. blink-182 italia mercifully posted some excerpts but i'm still looking for the whole thing. here's some key sections: in addition, it looks like he was visiting san diego today with jack; jack posted some really rare blink cassettes and WIP mix CDs on his instagram story. some screenshots here for posterity. i'd love to hear some of these, lol, even the most random "up 5db" mix.

Yeah, this interview needs to be a thread. And that's so awesome he took Jack to that Sombrero's and looked through the blink stash. That entire collection of OG stuff needs to be locked away somewhere. probably not the best idea for it to be laying around at your mom's house anymore lol.

i've got scans of the whole article, but the quality isn't great. a paper magazine is on the way. mark was at his mom's house in rancho bernardo today. he posted a ton more content on the discord than jack did on IG. and he packed up the entire archive in the garage and drove back home to beverly hills with it. there are many items with tons of multiples—like stickers—so i suspect these will be for blinko prizes. for the more rare stuff, i don't know. it's really remarkable of kerry. the woman saved absolutely everything.

check it out, gear nerds! special thanks to @Q182and @Thibaut182and @blinkstillrules!!!

Huge props to board member rjphoto here who shared this absolute gem of a picture from 1994 in regards to the strat (precisely from this show 12/8/1994: The band performs at Huntridge Theater in Las Vegas, Nevada)! Big difference between this picture and the footage from October 1994 where Tom has started the stickering process! Can clearly see the Ten Foot Pole and the anime logo for sure!

Yeah I feel the same. I’m just happy they’re friendly again, but I just don’t see it happening.

Of course she did, what a lovely mother.

rob isn't sharing the tape out of respect for mark, who doesn't want it distributed. it's an asshole of a move to show up in a community where people have posted thousands of times, and the first thing you post is to call someone who was a personal friend of mark an asshole. fuck right off, thanks.
