same here. on long drives (especially in the summer months) i listen to Dude Ranch a lot. from Dude Ranch on, Enema of the State is probably the album i listen to the least.

on long drives, depending on the weather and time of day, i listen to a lot of Blink, The Ataris, TBS, TSL, Owen/American Football, Clarity by Jimmy Eat World, or i make a couple mix CDs and go through those a couple times.

seriously. that album is right next to Blink's self titled album for being my favorite album of all time. i bounce back and forth between those two.

Bleed American is very hit or miss. for me at least. so i'd say start with (and stick with) Clarity.

The 1975 is great! i've been listening to a lot of stuff like that recently. that kind of electronic indie pop stuff. in fact, my band Wake Up Nebula sounds similar to that kind of stuff. i'll have to hook you up with our album when it's done and see what you think.

do you ever check out this website? http://did.youhearthenew.com/ it's one of my new favorite sites. every month, they release a HUUUUUGE mixtape of known/unknown bands of the same kind of genre. it's how i discovered the 1975, actually. you should check it out if you haven't already.

I usually check this one out for independent artists, but it's in Portuguese, so you probably won't enjoy it that much hahaha.

Alternative2Punk usually has some good stuff too, even though their uploads aren't exclusively from unknown bands only.

awesome, i'll check those out. also, you should check out www.indieshuffle.com too. they update their site every day with new music. some days are better than others, but there's usually at least one good song/band every day.

i mostly listen to self titled. that one is just a solid amazing album to me. i listen to TOYPAJ quite a bit too, when i'm feeling nostalgic. Neighborhoods or DED if i'm feeling like listening to Blink stuff that i don't know as well. and then in the summer, i listen to Dude Ranch a lot. Enema is a rare one though for me to listen to. i usually just pop in a Blink mix i made that has all my favorite songs from Buddha to self titled.

i still feel very attached to Blink. i listen to them at least one or two days a week.

you're setting yourself up for blue balls, man! haha but really, they'd have to be completely 159% focused soley on Blink, and have to have the best chemistry than they've EVER had to pull off a S/T part 2. it COULD happen, but i just don't want to hold my breath because who knowssss!

I only ask because I do not know how it all started and went down.

yeah, from what i understand, Mark was offended that Tom and Travis went off and did BCR without him. and since that happened, Mark was always kind of worried that Tom would "cheat on him" again or leave all together to do something different.

[bradsonemanband]

you know how since DED came out we haven't really heard aaaanything about Blink? wouldn't it be funny if they were pulling a "Fall Out Boy" on us and recording a new album secretly?

...sigh. but they're not. we all know this haha.
