Lol yea this is terrible

I had that shirt when I was in high school ? 

[boxelder]

more random shirt news: a blink t shirt dress — the kind very popular right now, the oversized look — is now being sold at urban outfitters. cool design, actually. hard to find, already out of stock some places. i’ve been enjoying the new blink merch at some of these big places (that aren’t hot topic etc)

The bridge in Bored To Death is great.

I will give it that.  Felt like a nice little stray from the rest of California's formulaic sound and a vintage Mark moment.

The bridges were always pretty nice.

Not sure if that was because it was contrasted with shit.

No match for Misery though.

Lol probably, I went back and listened to the Skiba era and it will probably be the last time. Neighborhoods though, I'm a Stan.

You mistake me for someone who listened to the deluxe album ? I checked it out though and the bridge is great, similar style to bored to death.

Which all fall short of Los Angeles, Don't Mean Anything. 

 

But no, Misery and BTD are probably the best.

Best California Bridge - Misery

Best Riff - Brohemian Rhapsody

Best Verse - Hey I'm Sorry

Best Chorus - Last Train Home

[givemeyoureyes]

Blink have done some great bridge that happen to be my favourite part of the song. I usually love Marks bass playing / tone in these moments. He isn't playing anything mind blowing but his tone when he plays the picked power chords is my favourite bass sound. Misery as mentioned above is a great one and probably my favourite from the California era. Some other bridges I love are Violence, Whats My Age Again, Adams Song, Time To Break Up, Stockholm Syndrome and Aliens Exist

Travis loves fame & attention.  This is nothing new but boy is it bad.  You'd think after raising a kid you'd change your perspective on it a bit.

At least give us some Mark cameos, wasn't he there?

If the album is delayed for Travis' promotion of this show I will scream.

So I've often wondered, but have found no good answer to this: with all the tattoos Travis has had done on his body often seemingly on a whim, including a giant Transplants logo on the back of his head, and how grateful he is that his love for music and drumming has got him where he is: how doesn't he have a single blink tattoo?

Because he's jealous of Mark & Tom and trying to destroy the band from within.  We know this already.  It could not be more obvious.

Always rubbed me the wrong way too. It’s because the band is a vehicle for Travis’ fame - that’s about it
