Blink-182’s performance at the GMA concert series is up on YouTube. Also, I recommend reading Dan Ozzi’s telling of his trip to this show:
When the alarm goes off at 5, the immediate remorse sinks in. That’s a strange feeling, to wake up to sense of regret. I put on my most Warped Tour clothes—a hat and shorts, both by Volcom, the brand of choice for men in their thirties who swear they could totally still do a kickflip.
John Feldmann, who either saved or ruined Blink-182 according to the internet, did a track-by-track breakdown of California with Fuse:
“Sober,” we did with Patrick Stump, who is a good friend of mine. Fall Out Boy supported Blink for many tours. They’re all the oldest friends. I hang out with those guys a lot and he was just kind of here and he had this idea—what could Blink be on modern rock radio in 2016? What does that look like? What does that mean, when there aren’t really live instruments on the radio?
It’s full of little tidbits of information. And typos.
Blink-182’s were interviewed on Good Morning America.
Blink-182’s second episode of “The Drop” for Spotify has been released. This one is an interview with Travis Barker.
Blink-182’s “Bored to Death” is set to top the alternative radio charts. The song will be overtaking The Lumineers’ “Ophelia.”
Tom has posted on Facebook that he never quit Blink-182 and recently talked with Travis about “recording and touring.” He then mentioned some stuff about a “serious project that has far reaching National Security implications.”
I finally heard the full album a few days ago and it’s the best thing Blink’s done in a decade. Long live Blink-182 with Matt Skiba.
Blink-182 are featured on Spotify’s “The Drop” — with a new video coming out over the next week and a half. The first video is with Mark Hoppus.
Blink-182 talk with Gigwise about the songs they scrapped from California:
“It’s not that we scrapped the other 30, we just forgot about them. They’re still on a hard drive, there are some great ideas in there, but I feel like they’re sketches – they’re us practising, throwing ideas around and getting comfortable playing music with one another.”
Blink-182’s already massive tour continues to grow. They’ve added three more dates in October.
Blink-182 have released their new music video for “Bored to Death.”
Steve Aoki remixed Blink-182’s “Bored to Death” last night at Mix Arcade.
