yesterday i thought of starting a band called Blink 183. could i get away with it?

what about Blank 183?

"All the Small Things" was so great.

al or whoever, what were the best singles from the last album? I sort of ignored it when it came out bcuz i presumed they were getting all "mature" and i didn't like the sound of it.

djdee (djdee2005), Sunday, 27 February 2005 23:31 (nineteen years ago) link

"Down" and "Always" were the last 2 that weren't real big but I loved.

Al (sitcom), Monday, 28 February 2005 01:08 (nineteen years ago) link

also the track that "Down" segues into on the album, "The Fallen Interlude" is the shit

Al (sitcom), Monday, 28 February 2005 01:22 (nineteen years ago) link

"Always" wasn't great. Good, maybe. "Feeling This" and "Down" were best, and "I Miss You" was pretty awesome also.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Monday, 28 February 2005 03:22 (nineteen years ago) link

"Always" is the first song from an album I've sold back that I regretted not burning later. Damn video got me hooked on it. Never felt "Down." "Always" might be my favorite single of the four right now.

miccio (miccio), Monday, 28 February 2005 03:24 (nineteen years ago) link

I only kept "Feeling This," "I Miss You" and "Obvious" when I took it back.

miccio (miccio), Monday, 28 February 2005 03:25 (nineteen years ago) link

"Feeling This" is fairly underrated, I feel--it's kind of messy, but all the better for it, I think, and the harmonies at the end of the song bring tears to my eyes.

Huh. You must not be much of a Cure fan if you didn't at least save those last three tracks, Anthony.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Monday, 28 February 2005 03:50 (nineteen years ago) link

this really brings me down

Jimmy Mod Has Returned With Spices And Silks (ModJ), Monday, 28 February 2005 03:53 (nineteen years ago) link

haha didn't we just have an evaluation of Anthony's Cure fandom on another thread already today? I don't really know much Cure but I like the Robert Smith track a lot.

Al (sitcom), Monday, 28 February 2005 04:21 (nineteen years ago) link

Blink 182 songs worth keeping:

M&Ms
Apple Shampoo
I Miss You

The rest is shit, in fact, worst-band-in-the-world shit. How they managed to make three great singles, I'll never know.

edward o (edwardo), Monday, 28 February 2005 04:26 (nineteen years ago) link

All the Small Things belongs at the top of every blink pox eveer.

djdee (djdee2005), Monday, 28 February 2005 04:38 (nineteen years ago) link

"Josie" is my shit.

Al (sitcom), Monday, 28 February 2005 04:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Blink-182 breaking up now is moot. The damage has already been done...

poortheatre (poortheatre), Monday, 28 February 2005 07:01 (nineteen years ago) link

one month passes...
I think of them as being kind of a modern day The Knack. Critically reviled by many critics, immature themes and sappy ballads to get the girls. But twenty years from now it won't be too much to say you liked a few songs by them.

Cunga (Cunga), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 08:05 (nineteen years ago) link

I never really noticed them until I heard the version of "Miss You" on Future Soundtrack to America. It's damn good. I might pick up the inevitable singles comp based on that song and "All the Small Things."

Lyra Jane (Lyra Jane), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 13:49 (nineteen years ago) link

"I Miss You", "Dammit", and "Stay Together For The Kids" will be canonized a decade from now.

Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 13:54 (nineteen years ago) link

i missed the break-up completely! oops.

still, agreed that the best-of will have a fair few killer tracks on it.

but were they better than ash as a rock singles band? of course not.

CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 13:59 (nineteen years ago) link

but were they better than ash as a rock singles band? of course not.

"Kung-Fu" should've been massive everywhere.

Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 14:01 (nineteen years ago) link

"I Miss You", "Dammit", and "Stay Together For The Kids" will be canonized a decade from now.

"All the Small Things" moreso than any of these, but if there's any justice, yeah, this'll be true.

but were they better than ash as a rock singles band? of course not.

This is a fucking tough call. Ash probably gets the edge, but really not by that much. A fairly worthy comparison in any event.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 14:06 (nineteen years ago) link

They were/are one of those bands that grew on me like a slow fungus -- at first dismissed as Green Day rips but later realized that I didn't mind when the singles came on the radio. Never got to the stage where I needed to own anything they did though.

Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 14:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Am I alone in the "What's My Age Again?" lovin'? I see it as the apogee of juvenile funny kiddie-punk, and a genuinely fine tune too.

"I said I was the cops/and your husband's in jail/the state looks down on sodomy"

CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 14:19 (nineteen years ago) link

nine years pass...

Second verse, same as the first

god just thinking about the alkaline trio diehards i knew in college, and how they'd feel about this

da croupier, Monday, 26 January 2015 19:20 (nine years ago) link

i mean is skiba going to sing "all the small things" and "first date" and shit?

da croupier, Monday, 26 January 2015 19:21 (nine years ago) link

i wanna make a The Aviator-style biopic in which Tom Delonge's career with Angels & Airwaves is as grandiose as he dreams it is

Just came here to post that, but it warms my heart that you were already on it.

Tove Lo Tove You Baby (jaymc), Monday, 26 January 2015 19:51 (nine years ago) link

so basically all live blink-182 performances on this tour will be sung better than tom has ever sung anything ever? wau

Tom Delonge Enthused About Upcoming Event, Says He Never

diddybops 67 (120.2)(source field mix) (some dude), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 03:29 (nine years ago) link

Suggestion for biopic casting from Twitter:

tom delonge= jake gyllenhaal
travis barker= andy serkis (through motion capture)
mark hoppus= garry shandling

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 03:30 (nine years ago) link

haha

Treeship™ (Treeship), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 03:38 (nine years ago) link

I'll go with

mark hoppus = matthew perry
travis baker = seth green
tom = george bush jr

when is the new Jim O'Rourke album coming out (spazzmatazz), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 20:11 (nine years ago) link

Obv the best case scenario here is TWO competing Blink-182s

chr1sb3singer, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 20:28 (nine years ago) link

Blink-183

how's life, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 20:29 (nine years ago) link

i would support a highlander-type battle royale type event to determine the true blink-182

indie fuxxor albums i have secretly spotified (slothroprhymes), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 20:30 (nine years ago) link

I endorse any battle-to-the-death event with pop-punk bands

chr1sb3singer, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 20:31 (nine years ago) link

and green day are being inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame, as they should be

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 05:04 (nine years ago) link

There can be only 182 (highlander xposts)

StanM, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 05:11 (nine years ago) link

well, anytime he's talked about angels and airwaves he sounds coked out of his mind but that could be just the unsettling enthusiasm of the pretentious
