I used to listen to them when their first two albums came out, then I don't know what happened but I never checked the other stuffs they were releasing. Emily is a bop though and the entire album is so good. All I've been listening to lately is Guided By Voices and this album.

I thought I had seen Skiba pretending to play on a backtrack riff in some videos last year. I don't remember the song but I remember I was like "it's impossible, they can't be using a backtrack riff" and just forgot about it. Turns out I wasn't wrong.

This worked very well, thank you for the idea, Mark!

Try Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and then you won't have to listen to Dave Matthews Band anymore

Do you know that they won't ship you children's underpants?

I might not be able to find a GIF for this.

It could have been worse. It's just that I can't stand seeing blink volunteer themselves for this kind of music. And what the hell is Mark screaming for? who hurt you calm down

I'm just leaving it here but I haven't listened to it

I haven't listened to this in years but I still believe it doesn't need lyrics or anything else to sound better because it's great this way!

I recently bought a FP polo. They're so nice!

Talking about recent stuffs, Will Yip's production on Floral Green by Title Fight is amazing. Not so recent: Untitled, Clarity, MCS, Pinkerton especially for how the drums sound, and I'm big into the Mike Sapone sound like Deja Entendu, Science Fiction, the Sainthood Reps demos, his Crime in Stereo stuff. Not blink/pop punk related: Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits is such a good sounding album. The remixed edition of Sgt. Pepper's that came out last year sounds great too. And anything Chris Walla did with Death Cab is incredibly well done.

So it was written for California, not before California. We'll never get to hear what they came up with when Feldy wasn't around.

Yep, this is some sort of urban legend now and I know people won't believe me but they never really said it was a pre-feldy song . I clearly remember a radio interview with Mark where he said it was one of the first songs they wrote for California but it sounded like some other songs they had so it didn't make the album but somehow this was misunderstood.

We have a few interviews with Tom floating around today because of the convention but here's the translation to the only relevant thing he said: "How did I go from being a successful musician to an ufologist? I started studying UFOs twenty years ago" - he explains - "and, a few years ago, one night, I saw something in the sky that fascinated me. This phenomenon then reappeared on other occasions. At that point I understood that I had to leave the band and my career in music to dedicate myself to UFOs. And that's a decision that gave me a chance to have the happiness I have today. I also believe it's important for us artists to join forces with scientists and competent people like Luis Elizondo, because we could increase the team's ability to understand what is being investigated"

the best part of that convention was seeing these old men taking pictures with Tom because "he's a popstar in a band I don't know but he's also important in the ufo community"

Yeah, I cancelled the post with the link because that conference was a real mess and even the ufo fanatics who were watching said they were just talking in circles lol

I tried. I really wanted to watch it but it was pathetic, he was spouting nonsense and promising the impossible as usual. I felt bad for him. But I'm glad I went out, I even bought a nice sweater!

"what to do when you're still feeling like a little piece of shit"

I said I was going to watch that thing with Tom but I shut it down after 10 minutes of Tom reading a speech word for word from a paper and saying stuffs like: "with TTSA we want to build spaceships, control time travel, write books, make major motion pictures and television series, a database for artificial intelligence, a plan to watch satellites into space and another plan to achieve the engineering of a space time capsule and blah blah blah" at that point I stopped it and I went out haha

I think I'll watch the live stream of the convention tomorrow afternoon because seeing Tom in Italy is so cool and confusing. I can't imagine people taking him seriously here, it'll be fun haha

Not 110% blink related but it could work @Ghent @boxelder

That was what I thought too.

one last thing, I think there's been an abuse of autotune and that's irritating because sometimes you can't tell bearface and kevin apart in some tracks. I'd give a 7/10 to the album. Favourite songs: J’ouvert, Honey, Tape, Thug Life, Weight
