Oof, this interviewer is always so boring though, I always wonder who they know to get these connects

Usually they reach out to the agents ... musicians are pretty willing to talk though, Ry could probably get an interview set up if he reached out via Twitter to Mark or Travis.

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!

I think toms your best bet when he starts promoting his new album, he was on shitloads of podcasts for radio shows during lockdown... plus your already pretty chummy with his tour manager 😆

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...)

Haha, some people's perception of time is really bad even if they know what they're talking about.

This is incredible, Mark goes into detail on the writing of WMAA. 

 

This is such an awesome conversation! Thanks for posting!

I'd think Matt is the obvious choice. Surely down to do it and theres tons of interesting questions to ask him.

Lets show him some love

[Ry-Bread 5759]

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.

this guy's interview is super interesting to me because i actually had no idea that the band worked with him first in LA and then potentially scrapped a lot of the material and re-recorded it with O. in san diego

mark and tom barely ever talk about the recording process of cheshire. i'm actually surprised this guy remembers as much as he claims to from a four day period 26 years ago.

Still wild that CC/DR weren’t recorded to a click to me.

[Hyland 67]

Where’d you hear about DR not being to a click? @Ry-Breadthats wild!

[Kay 11155]

I already liked Scott but that makes me respect him way more. 

[Elisa 3304]

Such a great interview! But that huge stain on the towel behind him is so gross!

Mark has mentioned it before in regards to DJs playing Dammit and not being able to time the beats correctly, and I also asked Mark about it a couple weeks ago on his discord.

According to my Facebook memories, I-Empire leaked 13 years ago today, in 2007. I was very into AVA at the time and I was so excited for that album. I had already heard like half the songs on it beforehand because of single releases and other partial leaks, but I was still thrilled to hear the full record. I remember listening to it that night in bed with my headphones on and thinking Heaven was one of the best songs ever.

I don't listen to the album much these days, but a lot of fun memories are associated with it for me. It was an exciting time to be a blink fan even though blink wasn't around. There was still hope for a second +44 album at the time. Things were looking up. Haha.

Might have to spin that record tonight. It's a fun one.

 

edit: @boxelder I don't know if a leak is worthy of inclusion on the official timeline, but if you feel it is I just wanted to tag you here so you can see the date.
