Thanks Ghent, life is too exhausting at the moment and I needed some new music (something completely different to what I’m usually listening to) so I’ll check it out tomorrow.

I’m so sad about it. A true genius. Changed the sound landscape in the sixties, challenged the best songwriters in the world to do better, RIP.

Great song 💞

Because it’s an album for the new fans (although gatekeeping new fans is corny) - I personally hope I’ll change my mind about it, maybe in the future when I revisit the album - and I let people like it if they like it because there is way worse music to hate on. Turnstile are good people and it’s great to see them succeed, and even more so if you consider that they are a hardcore band.

They are so much better than this, I wasn't expecting a hardcore album by any means, but they were supposed to push boundaries and they ended up rehashing their last album with the same melodies, a different guitar tone and some delay effects here and there.

He wasn’t bad with Tom, I loved that interview, I just can’t get through this one.

He still owes us a full unfettered interview. Maybe in 10 years. With @Ghent as the interviewer.

I’m glad I’m not the only one feeling this way. I think those 30 minutes were the worst interview I’ve ever listened to. Toby is terrible but Mark isn’t helping him either. When Tom was on, it still felt like Toby was reading his life off wikipedia, but it worked because when he mentioned some facts like “you got your first guitar” / “you got kicked out of school” / “you started listening to the descendents” then Tom went on a tangent and was great at keeping the conversation going, with Mark its jarring. Why did he even go to the podcast if he didn’t wanna expand a little bit on the book 😂 but I’ll give it another try during the weekend and I hope it gets better at some point 😂

God I listened to the first 30 minutes in my car this morning and I turned it off because I thought it was unlistenable. Toby is basically reading the book back at Mark with some nice comments but Mark’s answers are only “yeah” - “right”. The conversation was way more fluid in the other interviews.

I can’t wait to listen! And I agree that he’s irritating, but I loved the interviews he did with Tom, Travis and Skiba

That farewell tour was a big deal and Cheerio (we miss you) went to a lot of shows. But some bands are just burned out from touring so they call it quits and then a few years later they reunite because they've run out of money.

One thing I’m hating about Travis’ production is the repetitive thing in every song he does where the music always stops a little before the chorus.

You can barely hear it because of Travis though, it feels like a deliberate joke to cover up the only thing that makes you figure out this is Yellowcard and not 25 other different bands.

I wonder what he looked like before he started turning into Tom and if he got some plastic surgery to look more like him.

Tom shared a video of Toast and Bananas on IG 🥹♥️

Same for me. I just don’t like them. There’s also another band with a masked singer now, Sleep Token, they are like imagine dragons with guitars and cryptic stuff, their own alphabet, their lore. People love this shit and I don’t get it. But it doesn’t bother me that people enjoy either band. I would like to have some new bands to enjoy, but I can’t seem to find anything new that I like.

Maybe this movie will be better than Monsters of California? (answer: not really, but at least it seems interesting) https://deadline.com/2025/05/jaime-eliezer-karas-peter-hoare-tom-delonge-suburban-kings-1236406713/?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwKbIcRleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHlvHnpoqGXrkCW3DYHGZbxbBOB0lwSqcXCmiSyDEWOIuPq2ux4UW1R8kg_gL_aem_Cc9z3a_D7dwXsQfEny1G2A

happy may 16

Hot for Preacher with Derek on the drums 😭

I just saw this on reddit, but no one in the comments says if mark explained what happened https://www.reddit.com/r/Blink182/s/eE9z1e0Epo

I still haven’t given a full spin to their album The Crossing, but I’ll do it this week

I heard their song In A Big Country for the first time ever a few months ago and I immediately added it to my 2025 big playlist. In a big country dreams stay with you

I felt so dumb while I was reading because I just didn’t understand what happened, I thought it was actually something medical because there was a doctor involved and it sounded like Skye was sick, but I was also wondering if it was some sex stuff I just didn’t understand. Boxelder says it’s an inside joke between Mark and Skye, which I still don’t get. We’ll never know 😂

I genuinely thought they quit as a band when Malcom Young died, Brian Johnson went deaf and the other original members left.
