This picture is 3 kinds of sexy

One of my favorite blink videos

and they had nothing to do with it. This was a typography project this kid had to do for a college class. This was the FIRST TIME HE EVER USED AFTER EFFECTS! Blew my mind. This was the first one I saw and I went to watch others to see if they were as good and they all sucked hard. I was blown away by this kid's work and hope blink pick up on it. Also, i LOVE this song. SO underrated!

Enjoy!

I'm surprised they did this but stoked and proud:

Blinkumentary

yes please:

8-bit 182

HAHAHAA

Holy Shit it's been a while!

damn... i havent uypdated in a while. I have been super busy with work, buying blink tickets, and Jamaica. I'll be leaving for Jamaica nexy friday and I am WAY stoked for that.

In any case... I was here last night and it was an AMAZING night. Here's Josie -- a song they haven't played in forever. In fact, I dont think I have ever seen them play it all the way through in-person before... and I have seen them a billion times. Anyway, PLEASE watch and enjoy

ive been waiting SO long for this doc.

This doc is ALL about the bands i grew up listening to and in this 6-minute teaser, i couldnt have said any of it better. These bands changed my entire life and for the better. I had never been more motivated by anything more than this music and these bands and "One Nine Nine Four" is a doc that has been in the works for YEARS and it looks like it's going to be coming out soon. Do yourself a favor and take a look at this and you'll soon realize why islands is my favorite restaurant and why my clothes never match -- because i am still living in 1994, and LOVING it.



Here's blink playing "Pathetic" FLAWLESSLY at the first warped tour. This sums up every summer for me from 1997 - now. i love it.

a wet-dream actualized

i couldnt be more proud and stoked to post this amazing performance from yesterday on Leno. I love this band, i love these guys, i love this song... it's going to be an amazing summer:

you know how i know YOU'RE gay?

you're suing Coldplay over the world's most simple chord progression ever. Seriously, people? Think of "Dammit" by Blink 182. I mention this as the root song as Blink is my favorite band but that chord progression has been used in almost every green day song, Blink song, Sum 41 song... think of a Pop Punk band who HASN'T used that progression. I think SONGS are copyrightable and I think LYRICS are as well, but CHORD progressions might as well be intellectual property. I didn't pay much attention to the original case against Coldplay because i couldn't care less, but now Cat Stevens "needs a quick buck" as i read in a youtube.com comment today, and i agree! a SLIGHT resemblance to a song that came out and sucked 36 years ago does not a case make.

Here's the thing... Coldplay don't NEED to copy anyone. I think they're a great band... and because of this shit, i gave "Viva la Vida..." another listen last night and it's a REALLY good record.. .which is weird because i hated it when it first came out. Anyway, stuff like this pisses me off. They are so successful, there is no reason they would sit around listening to some shitty tunes and say, "hey, you know what? I like this riff... let's steal it". if they did, it was probably "let's make it better". now, I have done that. Listen to LOTB's "Fuck Emo" and listen to the Ataris' "San Dimas High School Football Rules". we ripped them off PURPOSELY because it was satire... but it was also as common a chord progression as "Dammit" is by blink. show me an original chord progression and ill show you my penis.

srsly

My new favorite show

"All The Small Things" on BBC. check out their rendition of "What's My Age Again?"

sexiest thing ever

all this picture needs is suzi and i in it...

My FAV TRV$|DJAM colab

what HE said

Blink - Flattery or mad?

okay -- i am going to take this as flattery becuase estevan is a much better director than i will ever be but i approached blink in December with a couple buddies to shoot THIS EXACT VIDEO (below) and i sent them MY video i did with Dave Carlock as a reference for what i wanted it to look like... here's mine, then what was just put out today:




 
Dave Carlock Podcast





i couldnt be MORE stoked to have seen that video they put out but i wanted to be the one to shoot it. I am WAY flattered that the video turned out to look like what i had already shot but a little bummed i wasnt able to get involved. :(

FTW

REDEEMED

this douche finally redeemed himself... in MY book, anyway.

TRV$ Remix

This remix was recorded shortly before the september plane crash. i wish these got more airplay, i really like this one.

Backstage at the Grammys and Jeremy Lusk

first off: another amazing picture




It's interesting to see Paul Rosenberg managing blink... but according to his blog, he is managing WITH Rick DeVoe.... sounds good to me.

Also, how amazing is the new NFG record? Produced by the wax figure seen here, Mark Hoppus. SO good.

and lastly, i want to mention Jeremy Lusk. Sure, Motocross riders are douchey bros, but this guy had the gift and on the one hand, he died doing what he loved... but on the other hand, think of how scared he and his family and friends must have been to know that it was over... just like that.



what a G, bro. I hate hearing about people dying who are younger than me. That's not right.
