Most punk rock bands have a short shelf life. It must be weird to be his age and still paying the bills by playing songs that he wrote as a teen. I can imagine it does make you self-conscious as a result. You never quite get to leave it behind. 

Yeah it's a tale as old as time for pretty much every artist. It's hard to keep enthusiasm up for a simple pop song for 20+ years. I don't know where this video originated, but it seems like he is a lot less self-loathing about it lately.

Question for the ladies. Do blink do any oversized t shirts or nighties for the ladies? Want to buy my missus one. I’ve had a quick look but can’t find much

got the perfect answer for you. in the US urban outfitters for better or worse is the most popular shop for the oversized tee but they're expensive. they have a blink one, two variants right now, that is insanely popular! my gf has both and enjoys them:

If you can get a guys shirt in the biggest size possible she will probably love to sleep in it, womens sizes wont have the length with the larger size than a mens would.

Yeah, I would do what Kay said. I can tell you that blink ladies t-shirts are always very short, I had two of them in the past, but then I started buying size small men’s because I’m too tall and I hate it when I move and they ride up my waist.

Their Aliens Exist t-shirt is actually the comfiest merch I’ve ever owned, it’s so soft.

I bought this one in the largest men’s size. Found it somewhere else though for cheaper. Cheers pal

If the news about the government being in possession of alien aircraft is true, Tom’s name will probably be in history books lmao. Even if he is just a pawn, the things he were saying a few years before all this is happening like the government is figuring out how to slowly drip out disclosure because they can’t control it anymore. It just lines up with how he framed things even if Tom latches onto absurdly fake things; he got pulled in for some use by the government.

Spoiler Alert: It’s not true.

Just throwing some love to this gorgeus song. I fell in love with it when it came out. Even the first leak, which was titled Action (from that videogame I don't remember).

I love the instrumental.

When it came out on Madden that year I turned off every other song on the game and only had Action playing the entire time I played the game.

The instrumental is great because you can hear the bass line a lot better in this song. Such a great bass line that I didn’t really know existed. It’s a shame Jerry had it so low in the mix of the actual song

I'm kinda at odds with how this song sounds. I feel like it's perfectly mixed yet at the same time the bass lines are great and I'd like to hear it more in the actual track.

I wish Mark would play the way he does in the recorded song live but he plays a more simple variation of it

That bassline would do wonders for the live version imo

fell in love is such a good way to describe it. i didn’t get into blink until later than most — 2008-09 — but when i discovered feeling this it was like my fandom deepened. it’s suuuuch a banger, so interesting, so catchy, so different. it’s maybe the best blink song

Yeah man… same. I was a casual blink guy for so years it’s weird how casual it was looking back.

I remember the CD cover of Dude  Ranch growing up, pretty sure I thought Sum 41 and blink were the same band for a minute, remembered them again when I saw Charlie’s Angels end credits, always rooted for blink videos to beat the boy bands on TRL but… then Feeling This dropped and contextualized the whole thing.

It’s a cool instrumental. I always loved how simple Blink songs are but when you really listen to them it’s always a bunch of intricate little pieces put together. Listening to this I realized they used the verse riff in the outro too. I never heard that before, pretty cool.

Yep. There is the official multitrack floating around (maybe extracted from Guitar Hero or something), and is really cool to hear the bass line. I used to use the drum part to play along using Guitar Rig.

In this regard, I think Untitled would benefit A LOT in terms of sound if any specialized studio could do an 'audiophile' remastering. It would achieve another level in terms of depth and surrounding. Untitled is gorgeous, it sounds great and shows an amazing production. It was their first record done using digital equipment, but using 'old' techniques and analog stuff too. Finn and his engineer nailed it.

Yup, I forgot to mention that part at the end as well. This instrumental really is great
