MM. Blink 182, the self titled album.

So saying I did two tracks off they're previous albums, I thought I should finish off the Blink theme with a song off they're self title album Blink 182. I know I've missed out Dude Ranch, Cheshire Cat and Buddha, but I don't actually have them on my iPod. Got the CD's but I don't want to put to many songs onto my mum's laptop.
There is still debate over the title of this album. As you can see I believe it is a self title album. But some people say that it actually has no name. The thing is that it's a bit hard to sell a cd with no name. So that's why I'm sticking with the self title thing. It also a much more mature Blink 182. No toilet humour here. Which isn't a bad thing. One thing that always happens with a band is that they get stale. The only thing is you don't want to change your self to much, or else you might as well change your name.

The song I've chosen is the frist song they released. Feeling this. It just works. If that makes sence.



The funny thing about this song is the fact that both Mark and Tom went into separate rooms to write the words for the songs. Was to write the verse and the other the chorus. Surprisingly they both chose to write about sex. The lustful side on the verse and loving feel on the chorus. The opposites work well together and in the end both conflict but harmonize. Check me out. Remembering what I learned in my Music GCSE.

MM. Blink 182. Wow Deja Vu

So you like what I did with the title there? I know I do.
Now I know I did Blink 182 last week and I don't care. This is one of the few bands that I actually have all of the commercially released albums. So I thought it would be nice to take a track from each one.
This week track is from "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket". Lots of people overlook the tongue in cheek humor of this tittle. But then again it could be my own warped mind that managed to see it.
Have you seen it yet? They're talking about masturbation. Now how many blogs do you know would talk about something like that so openly? Read the title again, but this time slower. "Take. Off. Your. Pants. And . Jack. It" Subtle but still there.

It was released in 2001 with three of it's tracks being later released as singles. This weeks video is going to be one of those singles. Any idea which one? Take a look at the YouTube video below to find out. Oh and it is the unedited video. The one where you see sparks fly.



One more thing. I always tried to get the hair style like Marks in the picture below when I was younger.Mark's the one on the right. Actually I still want to get a cut like that. But I'm torn in my decision. I want to grow it long. But I want that hairstyle. Maybe I should grow it long and see how it looks. If it's crap then I can always cut it after. Yeah. I'll do that.

MM. Blink 182 are back

HAPPY DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whep. Now that that's out of my system. Yeah the guys are back together. And I have to Facebook for letting me know. Typical. The time where I stop looking at music sites and this happens. Now to many people this might not be a big thing. Hell some people will even say that Blink 182 weren't that good. Heck to those of you who think. I don't give a flying F*** about your opinion. This band will always have a special place in my heart. Little fact that many might know about myself is that the First Album I ever bought (with my own money and though my own choice) was Emena of the State. The one with Janine Lindermulder on the front cover. The one that below.

And she was on the back to.

Now instead of playing the ovious of What's My Age Again or All the Small Things. I think I go for this one instead.



Dysentery Gary. God I miss this album. I think I going to see if I can find it. If not I might have to buy off iTunes.
