blink-182 Band • Page 413

From UK PR. Would love to hear some rough mixes.

 

Are we to assume Should I, Afraid, and Ryan’s Song are old titles for existing songs or songs we’ve never heard?

 

I’m guessing they’re just working titles for existing songs. “Should I” is most likely “Asthenia.” Not sure about the other two though.

 

Thought Brad would be more excited about new “rough mixes” surfacing

 

I’d take or leave rough mixes.

 

I think Ryan’s song is Here’s Your Letter. Idk why I remember reading that or hearing that back in the day.

 

that’s already on there though!

I think Afraid is Stockholm Syndrome. Source: my head

 

No no no. Untitled rough mixes?!!!

We keep adding on to the list of things I NEED to hear before I die, but never will.

 

I don’t know what i’m thinking of then haha.

 

Imagine if the mixes are darker and heavier than the finished product. Would be wild

 

I'd be curious to hear the original Down that was apparently six minutes long

 

I would think (going off of lyrical content) that "Afraid" is "I'm Lost Without You". He says the phrase "Are you afraid" in both lines of the chorus.

Another guess is that "Ryan's Song" could be "Always". There's a "Ryan Hewitt" listed as an engineer/mix engineer on that song. Also, Mark was referring to that song as "the 80s song" on the Untitled videos which means that it might not have had even a working title for a while.

Edit: Same Ryan seems to have mixed "Not Now" so that might be an answer as well.

 

I remember having the Down physical single CD with the TLA arrangement. Wish this arrangement was on streaming platforms.

 

Tom played with another San Diego band (I wanna say Fluf?) fer a sec and they have a pre Cheshire Cat version of Does My Breath Smell with different lyrics (and sung by that band’s singer). I can’t remember if Tom plays on the recording. It’s on youtube, it’s not that good

 

Ryan worked on the entire album

 

I was going off of the Wiki for the album which lists him as an engineer for the entire album but specifically lists him as a mix engineer for "Always" and "I'm Lost Without You" which would imply heavier involvement in the production process for those two tracks, specifically.

 

Just another piece of Blink history we’ll never get to hear ):

 

My assumption would be that it’s Always then since I’m Lost Without You was the last song written for the album

 

Yeah, at one point “Asthenia” was called “Should Have Got Caught” and had completely different lyrics.

 

Looks like the LOVE vinyl reissues already sold out? I think I'm gonna pick up "Of Nightmares" because pretty sure that's the only AVA record I don't have on vinyl already. If you don't have Lifeforms yet that Newbury pressing for $15.99 is a steal.

 

"Hard at Work" popping up again

 

Album’s deffff called Hard At Work

 

It makes me happy seeing how much fun they appear to be having.

 

I want to see them but I can not justify spending more than $100 to see them play the same set list they have done for the list 15 years with a couple new songs thrown in.

 

You'll be able to get a cheap ticket on StubHub the week of a show you wanna go to
