My mistake. I Heard They Suck Live was up for a week.

It's no fun ordering unless I get to feel like a big shot when they sell out right away. 😄

Also, as someone who grew up listening to punk and was "woke" before corporations ever realized it was something they could backpedal and then profit off of, that slip-mat makes me want to 🤮 despite the fact that I agree with everything on it. 😄

Also, I'm surprised that the colored copies are still available. Didn't the other 25 anniversary colored records sell out pretty quick?

The other 25th Anniversary pressing pre-orders were left up for a week, then Fat orders however many they need to fulfill the demand. They aren't limited to a specific amount.

Me: Hi. Just curious. The shipping info says that it's shipped in a padded flat rate envelope. Wouldn't it be better & safer to send it in a flat rate box? Thank you. Cheers!  J.

Why not just ask nicely if they can ship it in a box if you buy it? I don't understand the entitlement / attitude in the wording. Why is this so funny?

So here's a funny exchange I've just had with an eBay seller. It's not a record but something that I'm considering as a gift. Their shipping item description says that it will be shipped in a flat rate padded envelope from USPS. 

 

I messaged them about it:

 

Me: Hi. Just curious. The shipping info says that it's shipped in a padded flat rate envelope. Wouldn't it be better & safer to send it in a flat rate box? Thank you. Cheers!  J.

 

Their reply: If you want it shipped in a box that is not a problem.

 

A few minutes later...they messaged me again:

 

Them: Are You Buying J?

 

My reply: I am considering it. Will likely make an offer.

 

Their reply: Make it good.

 

This wall within a span of not even 30 minutes. Just thought it was funny. 

 

 

Carry on. 

 

 

Ebay's ditching Paypal has allowed people to make payments with Google Pay, Apple Pay and perhaps some others. More payment options than Paypal provided. Paypal is going more for the crypto market these days.

If I'm gonna pay $40+ just to "Jump Around" for a few minutes, I'd rather have it on a Mrs. Doubtfire soundtrack.

"Hel-loooooo" White or "Run By Fruiting" Orange variants please.

That does sound pretty lame.  You would think a band would be stoked to spend time with adoring fans before or after a performance, I know I would.

I caught them near the end of their signing at Warped as well, was literally the last person in line. Bought a CD and was able to get all members except the singer to sign it. Singer had his arm around some girl who was just ahead of me in line and they wandered off together before I could get his signature. Mentioned something to the band members "where is the singer?" and they looked around saying "I don't know." Kinda irked me at the time, but I can't say I wouldn't have done the same in his situation. I also didn't make much effort to catch his attention before he wandered off when I probably could've asked for a quick sig if I really wanted to interrupt his game. Rest of the band members were nice during my brief interaction.

Never been a fan of the way these guys treat their fans. They're talented, but their egos overshadow their talent. 

How exactly do they treat their fans? What happened exactly? You must be right about something if it's taking this long to sell out /500 on only two variants.

And are we talking about "fans" here or are they just giving an attitude back to people who give it to them? The scene is/was full of entitlement and immature trolls, so I can totally understand if some people develop a knee jerk reaction. I know I have a tendency to play devil's advocate and provide alternative perspectives to popular opinions, which makes me quite unpopular at times. I'd rather go against the grain than to follow the mob in the wrong direction. 🤷‍♂️

A side note, I really don't follow this band much and was never huge in to them. I just know everyone seemed to love them about 10 years ago and I initially wanted to hate them for that reason, but that PMF album was too good to hate. 😆

Gotcha. I only watched a few seconds to get the jist of it. Yeah, that kind of language was cringe. I called a buddy out for it back in the day and he started accusing me of being gay for taking offense. We were all assholes. Few of us would want to be judged years later for some of the stupid shit we went along with when we were young and dumb. 😆

Right... well in any case, they got to perform their music on stage in front of thousands and tour with some awesome bands while I'm just some schmuck throwing shade in an online forum.

 Oh jeez, cancel culture at it's finest. Are we seriously digging up 10 year old interviews to find something to be offended about? Everyone talked that way back then. Was it wrong, yes. Which is why it stopped. Are we going to cancel an entire generation over it? No. Move on.

I can't wait until 10 years from now when the younger generation start taking offense at everything 20-something year olds think is normal today.

Bought another copy of the album just because of this post. 😁

When did JonTron join the band? 😄

I always thought they had a ridiculous name and wanted to dislike them because of how annoying some kids in one of the old pop punk groups used to be about this band.  But I couldn't deny that Pardon My French was good. Guys were friendly when I met them briefly at Warped too. Good to see another album.

Turned the MxPx Tier List article in to a video. I prefer how I can link to the songs referenced in the article, but growing a YouTube channel and editing video is fun too.

I know everyone's gonna hate on me for liking California, but here's a new Blink 182 Tier List:

The real question is will it actually be him signing the posters or will it be a print of his signature?   

"Only 2500"  is still quite a lot of squiggles

That's a good point. He has plenty of time to sign them all before 2022 if he does. 😆

Can't wait to take a selfie holding 9th & Walnut on 9th & Walnut.

At least it comes with something signed that I can display on my wall instead of a lighter or a koozie.

Just heard the song This Is Not Utopia and I will admit it’s not as bad. Tolerable, even. 

The singles aren't the best songs on the album, imo. "Army of One" and "Coming for You" are my favorites.

Hmmm... really want copies of I and II, but I'll take this as well.

I have a copy of II on white vinyl that I'd be willing to consider trading for a copy of Dead Silence, I, or III.

I’m going to spin this at the office on the following:

Mofi Ultradeck 

Cary Audio SLI-80

Klipsch Forte IVs 

 

Will report back. Very curious how this is going to sound on a $10k set up. 

Amazing. Is my guess.

Just okay?
