    Nice! Glad you had a good time.

    I think the weirdest song for me to see Skiba sing is Not Now.

    This has been a project long in the making...and it is by far the most proud I've been of something I've made. Came up with the idea to design these posters for the Blink guys. They are made entirely of text. In fact, every lyric to every song on every studio album they've ever released in chronological order. Over 121,000 individual characters (a bit over 24,000 words) that make up the infamous Blink logo. You can read their entire (studio album) career from front to back in the image. Took 40 hours to make, and I had the chance to get these to the band on Saturday and talk to them about it. Travis told me people kept coming in his room to see them. His Instagram and snapchat stories included multiple shots of the posters and videos of me with the band. They signed one for me, and I photographed their set along with A Day To Remember and All American Rejects (I'm a marketer and photographer for Live Nation). As a HUGE fan of Blink-182, this was the best day at work ever!

    So awesome!! I saw this on Travis' Snapchat or Instagram on Saturday and wondered what it was. Great work.

    I'm keeping these extremely limited haha UNLESS they reach out and want to sell them. I'd be very happy to make that happen.

    And thank you everyone!

    That's awesome that you're going to keep this as a rare item, it'll definitely be part of blink memorabilia that any huge blink fan would love to get there hands on.

    I have two tickets to the Irvine, CA show on Thurs 9/29 in the Loge 5 section and GA Floor tickets to the Los Angeles Sat 10/1 show that I'm looking to sell. No longer able to make it to the shows so if you're interested let me know. Just selling the tickets for original cost with the fees so $82 each for Irvine and $95 each for LA. Hit me up if interested before they sell on stubhub.

    Ive been youtubing Blink 182 on letterman, leno, late night shows..... Travis had a broken arm in one, and he still rocks out.

    Preaching to the choir, I know... But again - <SO> damn intense. Even with one arm, he brings it home. Good God!

    Listening to California right now and the line "spending time inside together" bugs me so much, it would have made so much more sense if they would have just changed it to "outside" and wouldnt annoy me as bad......end rant

    Well Ive decided to go for it and just pre order the blink vinyl boxset. Makes sense since I only have self titled on vinyl and is reasonably priced for 7 albums

    Isn't that sort of the point, like that's the statement Mark is trying to make. Look at the first two verses, both ending with "It’s what I’ve always wanted" even though the preceding lyrics represent a life unfulfilled. He sings of the idyllic lifestyle one associates with California and yet it's all sort of contradictory. I don't really like the song all that much but that part of the chorus fits with the rest of the song IMO

    Always do the right thing. Supporter

    I think it's dumb too. The song isn't self-aware or otherwise subversive enough to get away with it.

    So I'm assuming She's Out of Her Mind has been officially released as the next single since it's being played on radio stations now. Wonder if they will start to play it live now. Their set hasn't really changed in a week or so, since they went back to playing Kings of the Weekend instead of the Josie/M&M's/Man Overboard slot.

    I was wondering this too, they aren't giving it any attention. I would love to see it get the same sort of promo that Bored to Death got when it came out

    Finally went back to California after its release. It's got some really great songs on there but some songs that are a little too "pander-y" in my opinion. I think the good songs off this combined with dogs eating dogs would make a killer album.
     
  22. I sense a series of hypothetical album tracklists approaching...
