Hahaha oh fuck i'll report how the AVA Chicago Oct show is this year. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint the kid too much after growing up on MTTS.

No problem sir. Carry on. Just trying to lighten the mood. I was merely implying if Tom owes you money for DED, you'd (jokingly) have a chance in court cuz of Yellawolf, but that is Travis's fault more than Tom's. I work 2 jobs and get 4-6 hours of sleep, so every moment feels like 4am for me. Sorry about the bad joke.

I'm assuming you only liked that +44 reject song from DED that Mark wrote in some hotel? I'm really confused by this post. Tom owes you money for buying DED on iTunes? I think you got a chance in court, only because Travis got his buddy Yellawolf on a song.

That sucks man. That must mean you missed out on Dogs Eating Dogs. Great EP.

Thanks man. Operation in August and they'll know more then I'm guessing but appreciate the good vibes. Lost my father-in-law in January to cancer so it's a 1-2 punch right now. 2021 has been a shit year so far. I'll try to donate to Mark's charity or am down for the book idea too. Whatever we decide!

Gotta go with that option.

Nooooo Mark!!!! Fuck I hope he's doing ok. I hate that he said he's scared. My mom just told me today at my day job she has cancer in her liver. I got off the phone and saw a text from my buddy about Mark. My mom and Mark share the same birthday. Wtf...

Sigh... not gonna bite... but nice try.

Ugh, i still like Heaven and that video on youtube someone made

Amen. Still love this album, warts and all!

I mean, don't they still have Matt in the band or is he still AWOL? Sorry everyone, been busy moving. I'm out of the blink loop.

I'm not one to talk as I didn't do enough blink homework on the site's timeline, but a couple weeks ago my somewhat famous buddy Kevin was killed on his bicycle (he was the kid drummer from School of Rock) and even though his band credited me under a photo of him on their facebook and insta, that still didn't stop the media (specifically People Weekly and some lower music scene sites) from stealing the photo and giving me no credit. I don't give a fuck in the grand scheme. And Kevin once told me that was one of the favorite photos ever taken of him, so i'm happy it's out there for his sake, but this stealing shit is commonplace now and there's nothing we can do about it unfortunately. But fuck Italia or whatever his name is.

I work at a grocery store for my 2nd job and so don't talk to me about Christmas song loops... Also, I do occasionally listen to I Won't Be Home and Boxing Day throughout the year if it pops up or if we're going through B-sides on a long drive. Can't say the same for the new Xmas song. But that's just me.

We all know Golden Showers in the Golden State off Odds and Ends is the best song ever written since Untitled... Ok now that the joke is over, I'd have to think about the answer for a while but Golden Showers did have some interesting throwback guitar in there.

Actually, yes, you're right, forgot about the new Christmas song. So I guess that is worse than Parking Lot and Quarantine as I actually remembered those.

Parking lot is pretty fucking awful. I dunno what's worse, that or Quarantine.

The last Chicago show they played before the pandemix sold out pretty fucking quick, from what i remember.

Animals is fucking awesome. I don't care if i get roasted for that opinion. However I don't really remember any of the other songs other than the joke golden shower piss song.

blink canceling shows left and right. Meanwhile, AVA is playing Lollapalooza... my, my, how things have changed....

I would keep my 2021 tickets to this show since I was thinking of pushing them back for the 2022 show since MCR postponed again... BCR would be so sick.

Is the single or album called Euphoria? I see the comments above but is it 100% confirmed it's just the single's cover? Sorry, been working a lot, trying to keep up as best as I can on all this. I like the other 2 previous covers better but I'm also in the minority in thinking that getting the Raiders of the Lost Ark/Star Wars poster artist to do I-Empire was pretentious so...

I don't remember that one off the top of my head. I'll have to listen to blizzcon's show one of these days.

I bring this up a lot but one of my favorite riotfest moments with blink was Tom realizing First Date was next and then Mark saying something mockingly like, "Uh-oh, someone didn't read their email before the show..."

Right? Sure it'd be nice to have MORE new songs but I want a decent record I can throw on at my 2nd job and zone in on... with Rebel Girl and Kiss and Tell on the record, I don't see how that can ruin the quality of the collection of songs overall, but only enhance it, even if they did come out a year or 2 ago... Would we rather get 10 songs that are worse than those two songs? Hell no... Dream Walker is still the only AVA release I still listen to with occasional anticipation/joy... the rest of the albums are more or less played when I really need something kinda long to kill time at work when I'm not paying much attention to the music... I need a quality album, not more fluff with the occasional good song in between.

I'm a filmmaker. I'd never claim to have made a good music video. But they're usually fun as hell to make if the band is cooperative. That said, I have no dog in this fight regarding whether music videos are important or not. I'll still watch em for my favorite bands and artists (if i know about them)... but probably not nearly as important as they were in the TRL days... though one might argue the kids these days watching on their phones probably outweighs the kids in the 00's watching TRL at a specific time on a specific channel each day.
