  1. The melody is cool, much like "Why Are We So Broken" I would very much love to hear a non-techno version.
  2. I would love to have Matt or any of them on, just in order of likeliness/willingness to hop on a Skype call - Mark/Travis/Tom/Matt/Scott imho.
  3. That was interesting, LOL @ "Yeah I think Skiba does Tom songs, I saw them in 2014 and he did Tom songs." (Skiba wasn't in the band yet, and has since done tons of Tom songs...)
  4. A lot of these folks are approachable and totally down to chat and reminisce, sometimes it’s as simple as asking - most are flattered to be asked to come on any pod. If anyone thinks of realistic guests I should ask, as always please lmk. Mark/Trav/Tom are 100% aware of the pod, I think my best shot would be with Mark one day, but he has a “no pods” rule because he gets asked so often which I understand. (Unless of course Jim Adkins/Chris DeMakes/good friends ask lol) So just continuing to build it up until one day hopefully he wants to come on!
  5. So crazy that he came up with the intro riff while trying to learn this: Can totally hear it.
  6. This is incredible, Mark goes into detail on the writing of WMAA.
  7. Yeah they asked his bass tech to hold on to them so they could do something cool with them for charity.
  8. This is rad, Mark handmade 100 shirts at his house, and it includes a bass string he used on the #EOTS20 tour. All proceeds go to Children’s Hospital LA. https://www.himynameismark.com/collections/best-sellers/products/hand-screen-tee-black
  9. Didn't specify but I assume no. He did say that the covid situation has given Tom/Aaron more time and he feels the stuff they revisited is way better than it sounded originally.
  10. *sigh* if only you all had listened to the fabulous 182 News podcast which featured AVA's Tour Manager and one of Tom's best friends who built his vocal booth he is currently using, you would know that the instruments are done and Tom is re-doing all his vox in said booth at his house so that it all sounds the same.
  11. That's incredible @Ghent, can't wait to see the final product!
  12. Taking about world famous Davey Jones of course.
  13. I did for an hour, then went right back to Animal Crossing lol. It's ok and exactly like Tetris 99 - which didn't hold my attention either. Would rather just play the base games...
  14. I like a few of them! Some remind me more of a “Neighborhoods” theme. Cool find @daveyjones
  15. It's so long it won't even fit into normal translators that I could find lol... I don't even know how to begin a TL;DR either. But yeah, I don't know how publicizing the minor spat and sharing private DMs would help the situation... big yikes.
  16. There are just some lines that should not be crossed IMO, and I can understand both sides of it. Mark's discord is awesome, it's extremely positive and he genuinely just wants to feel like a normal dude and chat about random stuff with fans when he's bored. I'm in there, and despite some of the neat tidbits he sprinkles in occasionally - I haven't posted or even brought up anything from there as it feels like a safe place, and it's honestly just so cool of him to do. The problem with these "safe places" (Mark's Twitch/Discord) is that typically Italia will come in hammering away with a million questions (usually from an alias so Mark isn't fully aware) and then as soon as the chat is over, there's a full recap up on social media. I think that bothers Mark to an extent, it would be somewhat annoying to me even if you are used to being in the public eye. From Italia's perspective, they are dedicated to keeping their followers up to date and with nothing else going on - this is "content". They also try to get their followers questions answered which I can understand, but it's just kinda whack when they lurk and then post every single thing Mark said. At heart they are clearly die hard fans, and believe me - running blink fan socials, pods, etc. is not lucrative. (I lose money every month) So I don't particularly think the "ad revenue" is their goal in this, but can definitely see how it would annoy Mark and his manager. It was cool to see that Mark says he appreciates the fan-sites regardless, if I were him I would probably just shoot Italia a DM asking that they back off a tad and I think they would respect that. But I haven't seen this FB rant or whatever so that bridge may be burned now.
  17. Yes, that is what I call the "Tom Doodle" which first appeared in 2009 and it's very rare that he does that. No chance he is going to do that on an extremely small surface when signing probably 250+ of these.
  18. I loved the complaint about the "TD" autograph - which is how Tom has signed since 2003! LOL.
  19. He can play but I think Trav’s studio dudes laid the guitar tracks. I listened to it a bunch this weekend and there’s some really catchy parts that have been stuck in my head. Agree with Cheerios that nothing tops “I think I’m okay” at the moment.
  20. More than happy with mine, think it’s rad as hell and hope they do the OG white strat next: I’ve seen a bunch of folks mad they missed out and anxiously awaiting these “cancellations” to become available if they do.
  21. I really enjoyed the album and can’t wait to listen to it more, but none of it is even close to any new blink songs imho.
  22. Just listened to it all the way through, enjoyed it and so stoked for Trav! That last song had me choked up, wow.
  23. I'm waiting to get mine in hand to fully examine the quality, but I think they look rad! Was surprised at the outcry, not sure what people were expecting. It's a cool little desk thingy, it's not supposed to be playable lol. The only major goof appears to be the color, it clearly looks more "daphne blue" than "surf green". (Tbh this was mixed up by TTS even in the promo photos for this.) I feel bad for people trashing the company, I appreciate that they are hand made.
