Imagine lying to these fine people in the very first sentence.

Remember folks, a vote for me is a vote for honesty. Not a fan of Nine? I’m right with you, brother. You think Nine is actually a good album and should be well respected? I couldn’t agree more!

Let’s get this competition started!

[Coddled Jan]

With BOTBM starting soon, I’d just like to say I’ll continue to make sure Cali-Nine never existed, if you vote for me.

Thank you.

The spirit of blink is Tom and Mark together, there are barely any AVA superfans here at all.

What comedy music other than Bo? I’ve never heard anyone else that comes close to mixing the comedy / heart like he does. 

Not much has anywhere near the heart of Bo and he is a personal favourite.

I love Tom Cardy and Ninja Sex Party the most, but just in general if I can hear it over and over and still laugh then it’s golden.

Bo as in Bo Carter?

I listened to that album so much back in the days that whenever I hear a studio recording of those songs they feel super slow and unenergetic

I never liked that version of GATC. But the Enema version is perfect. The live version on Adam's Song is great though. Tom's vocals are way too low in the mix and ruins the song for me.

I had actually already heard Everytime I Look For You, but it was under a different band name and song title when I downloaded it.

This is such a great encapsulation of being a music fan in the late 90s/early 00s haha.

Half The Man I Used To Be.mp3 being actually by Stone Temple Pilots instead of Nirvana should be researched about and put in a museum.

A lot of people don't know this, but the reggae cover of Red Red Wine is Bob Marley and not UB40, even if some p2p downloading services had it marked as that.

Funny thing is the Fountain of Wayne's song 'Stacy's Mom' has been misattributed to Bowling For Soup so much over the years that they ending up leaning into the joke and did a cover for it.

On this day 24 years ago, blink was playing Bologna, Italy for just 20 minutes, as they had to cut their show short due to people throwing rocks and bottles.
 

Throughout, you can see Tom subtly taking issue to it.

I remember the song untitled was always named the n-word on limewire

I did the same thing. The dude ranch version of dick lips is almost unlistenable to me.

Ah, the good ol days when blink only had so many songs they still had to squeeze Don’t Leave Me in the setlist.  Miss that song.

The Dude Ranch version of Dick Lips ks so much better than MTTS. Jesus. That nice Country vibe totally gone. Pathetic though, is better on MTTS those "beloooong"s and maybe Peggy Sue. Other than that I don't think any of the songs on MTTS come close to the studio versions.
