They don't promote it for two reasons. One, because they don't need to promote it. Two, because it isn't good enough to promote.

I'm sure if they ever write another truly badass album they will promote it accordingly. Or it will promote itself, like really good music should.

 

Not wuoting you for any specific reason, just to bring back the subject.

 

I think we're missing the point. Right now, the music industry, as what it is: an industry, is dealing with serious problems in a lot of senses. If you pay attention, bands (or we should say labels?) are not promoting as they use to do 10 years ago. With the TOYPAJ example, we are going back more than 10 years ago, my gosh. Things were SO different then...

Right now there's no promotion as it used to be back in those years. Plus you have the fact that blink is an independent band right now. That means that they don't have any structure supporting them back: no ways to get the music out in the airwaves, TV, TV spots... nothing. And here's when we see the difference between being signed on a major label, or being independent.

And finally, we have a band that is not what it used to be. It has not the pressence it used to have back in the day. Reasons? A lot of them, but it's a fact.

Mark on twitter:

"@markhoppus: @trailertash_x What songs did you want for Australia?"

"@trailertash_x: @markhoppus my ultimate list right now would be; pretty little girl,dogs eating dogs,story of a lonely guy,another girl and Wendy clear x"

"@markhoppus: @trailertash_x you'll get one at least."

I'd be happy with any of those songs but I'm going to guess it'll be DED

[Chewy030]

Yeaj i'd for sure say dogs eating dogs

[dildo69er]

i want dysentary gary..i was so happy when they played that in 04 i almost came

[bennett]

that's an obvious dogs eating dogs haha. leaves the other one to either be wiww or disaster. I'm really hoping for wiww

[dildo69er]

god im not i erally dont like that song, tho tom would probably break the speakers attempting disaster

[Pussay Patrol]

that's an obvious dogs eating dogs haha. leaves the other one to either be wiww or disaster. I'm really hoping for wiww

 

I think Boxing Day is a good chance if they do the acoustic part at the headline shows still, and then only one DED song (prob DED) for the festival shows.

[M!ke]

I'm inclined to say it'll be Pretty Little Girl (without the rap portion obviously).

[dildo69er]

yeah i think 0.5% chance of PLG happening.

[Mau5]

DED, Tom's used to singing Hallucinations afterall which has the exact same melody as in DED 

[Chewy030]

haha man this kid is great
