It’s nice he has warmed up to the band but he still has to find a way to take an ego trip and make it about how “progressive” he is. I don’t entirely like the direction blink is going but it’s amazing how he doesn’t hear the shit that comes out of his mouth. It doesn't bother me as much anymore and maybe that's an age thing. I'm getting older and more accepting of people and their eccentricities. Sure, I think he is silly but meh, I'm not gonna worry about it. At the end of the day do you know what I'm doing with my music? Fuck all. I've been planning to write a new record for the better part of 2 or 3 years and all I have are a handful of ideas. Tom, if you can't say anything else about him, is at least productive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandChannel Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I started Blink in a garage when we were kids in high school, but Tom insists that it was all him and erased me from the history books. So I spent the better part of a decade developing a tic tac UFO just to ruin his friggin' day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixidor Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Tom's interviews are becoming unbearable for me. He just cannot resist the temptation to show off his master plan that he's had all along, can he? No matter what the question is, he will always drift towards talking about his academy, which I frankly cannot recall having produced anything since its inception. Or shoving it in people's faces how different than the rest of us he is. Good luck with his projects, though. I do hope he is happy with whatever he has going on. However, Tom, the investor, is not someone I see myself spending time on. If he has new music out I would be more interested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One minute you love his passion and tenacity, the next you can't stand his narcissism and attention seeking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 I find it much easier to like him these days than ever before because I've just accepted he's a fruit loop. Got super pretentious and annoying in an interview? of course he did, he's a fruit loop. does something actually cool? of course he did, he's a fruit loop. Thinks aliens are putting microchips in his cereal? of course he does, he's a fruit loop. it's far more entertaining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iguessthisisgrowingup Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 i'll never get why he's so obsessed with the whole multimedia thing. tying in YA novels to a music album makes literally no sense. it's just....bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YA novels aren't normally written by YAs so there's that, I suppose. It's just another medium, I guess and I don't expect him to compete with real authors ... YA novels tend to set the bar lower.

MSandt Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Jesus Tom, could you stop talking about yourself for even one second? It's nothing but mememmemememememmemememmememe. I can't think of any other artist who could match his level of bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 An artist talking about themselves and their projects in an interview about them and their projects is not really surprising is it? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManchesterAdam Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Correct me if I'm wrong but recently he seems to keep talking about how he started Blink. I don't remember him ever saying it this much in the past. It's like he's so desperate to show it's his band despite the fact he's not in it anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He uses that at the beginning of pretty much every interview/article since he got kicked out/quit 4 years ago...it's super annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like he thinks that people underestimate him and his business acumen, and he’s out to prove us all wrong. Unfortunately for him, he’s still got a looonngg way to go until that happens. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeling_This_1 Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Working for the TTS Academy sounds like a dream job. Tom is paying multiple guys 6 figure salaries to do absolutely nothing. Nothing will be accomplished besides a few grainy worthless videos being declassified. No aliens, no new technology, and no way to actually make money besides scamming people to donate.

SandChannel Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 ... but what if Tom actually does catch an alien ... and proceeds to probe that alien's butt on the History channel? I want to see that. Come on you, TO THE STARS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno. Every AVA album kinda sounds the same, but I don't dislike them for the most part. That said, I liked the direction of Neighborhoods and Dogs Eating Dogs, so that leaves a bit of a what if in my head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
