Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 1325

Do you really think The Doctor wouldn't be a Tom fan? Tom's like the perfect person to show the universe to, it'd really validate his life's work :P

 

....damnit you got me there.

 

that's enough internet for the day

 

What

 

I think the song you're thinking of is "My Brain is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)" by the Ramones

 

The Tom Delonge Wikileaks Conspiracy Goes Deeper Than We Thought

I am confused. Was the whole purpose of the latter half of this article that it is unreadable gibberish?

 

yes, you're right! thanks!

 

Hits Daily Double's numbers are in... While these are not the official/Soundscan figures, they are certainly close:

SALES PLUS STREAMING CHART:

-- 26 BLINK 182 CALIFORNIA BMG 17,690 --

BUILDING ALBUM SALES CHART:

-- 10 BLINK 182 CALIFORNIA BMG 15,345 --

Also, it re-enters the UK albums chart at #15: "Their seventh studio album in a little over 21 years - and the first fronted by Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba - California became the first ever No.1 album for the pop/punk trio Blink 182 last July, and the release of a deluxe edition restores it to the chart at No.15 (4,738 sales), while raising its cumulative sales to 78,347."

(Nice total sales in the UK, 100 000 copies would give them a Gold certification.)

 

I wonder how much it could have sold if it was its own album

 

Probably not even close to as much as California, but probably better than this. If I had to guess.

 

Subject matter aside, this is a really well done tattoo.

 

It's just a joke piece. If you've been following American politics/Tom DeLonge lately it's full of winking, absurdist references to stuff that's being going on.

 

Oh I know, I know. I do follow politics and I am very much aware of game theory. I just thought the second half was really poorly written.

 

Ok I've had the deluxe long enough to attempt this. List time! Top 10 California era songs; which is hard because my list constantly changes. But here we go. Top 10 California era songs plus 2 honorable mentions that just barely missed top 10.

1. Last Train Home
2. Bored To Death
3. Cynical
4. Misery
5. No Future
6. Left Alone
7. San Diego
8. Sober
9. Long Lost Feeling
10. 6/8
Honorable Mention: Good Old Days, Home Is Such A Lonely Place

 

Only thing you forgot was Rabbit Hole.

 

Rabbit Hole would have been the next HM if I had included 3

 

I think I like Parking Lot. Still can't get into Wildfire though. Also, I think BOTO is good. Better than LA and one of my favorite songs on the deluxe (sorry @bradsonemanband)

FYI I've had a couple beers

 

It's obviously the beer talking

 

Taking Bored to Death and Rabbit Hole off my definitive California playlist is the best decision I've ever made.

 

Bored To Death?! I can accept Rabbit Hole but BTD? #NotMyDoctor

 

Crazy. You're just crazy.

I bet you're one of those people that like Home is Such a Lonely Place or the song California.

I'll never understand your type.

 

HISALP is a great song

 

I agreed with your points until you threw shade at HISALP.

Because that.

 

Wildfire is the best thing off the deluxe songs for sure. Well, maybe second best to Parking Lot.

 

Hahaha. Dude...it's so sappy and over-produced. Just not what "blink-182's" about. Do they play it live even?
