Yeah, any of the TOYPAJ bonus tracks are fair game for the idea here, none of them are on Spotify.  All were solid, but of the serious songs, my favorite was always What Went Wrong?  And that's like such a genuinely fantastic blink song that it's insane that it can't be readily played in a streaming service like Spotify.

Yep another good one lost to streaming. There’s a cover of don’t tell me that it’s over by neck deep on Spotify which is actually quite good.

mark's management confirmed that there were region-related rights issues for those and they will never be on streaming.

Maybe this was why "Voyeur" was on the Norwegian "First Date" single, even if I have no evidence of that being true.

Needless to say, Flyswatter, Demo#2, and Uranus EP should be available as well, especially the original Buddha with the other missing tracks like Degenerate, The Family Next Door and Transvestite.

mark says he doesn't want to release any demo material without tom and scott's approval. he also doesn't want to deal with any legalities or do any homework.

uranus will never be on streaming according to marks' management. all kinds of wack rights issues with cargo, and the master recordings seem to be missing. this is brahm, son of the owner (who got his dad to sign blink):

they're still the only band in the world that straight up refuses to re-release at least one album (Dude Ranch) with some demos or unheard songs (we all know that they don't have extra songs from the EOTS, TOYPAJ and Untitled sessions, but we know we're never gonna hear the Dude Ranch demos either 😥)
