Also his (presumably totally earnest) claims that "We Don't Need to Whisper" is going to be "the greatest music in decades" are really disarming and make me want it to be true even though I know the album is going to be a total disappointment.

They were appalling. I didn't think there was a good reason to not applaud the demise of Blink-182 but I think he's discovered one.
Blinkbloke rambled on between songs about 9/11 and "how people shouldn't die" and "you can do anything you want if you truly believe". Biggest cheer they got was for the comment "this is our last song".

Brief anecdote: My friend Kassy and I snuck into SDSU to watch Oingo Boingo's last show at the Open Air. There was a balcony from which you could see the stage from basically directly overhead, and required a lot of sneaking around in the shadows. We saw Blink's Tom and Mark try to powerplay their way into the backstage area and get kicked to the curb by the security folks. One of my favorite memories.

Hey, oh, here I am,and here we go, life's waiting to begin.
Any type of love - it will be shown,like every single tree reach for the sky.If you're gonna fall,I'll let you know,that I will pick you uplike you for I,I felt this thing,I can't replace.Where everyone was working for this goal.Where all the children left without a trace,only to come back, as pure as gold,To recite this all.
Hey, oh, here I am,and here we go, life's waiting to begin.Tonight,hey, oh, here I am,and here we go, life's waiting to begin.Tonight,hey, oh, here I am,and here we go, life's waiting to begin.

Nah, this material has actually been done for awhile now, its just now getting an LP release. And, yes, it is a terrifyingly awful concept album, for which Delonge claims to be making a movie. As a sometimes Blink defender, I can say there are a handful of songs from the A&A debut that are okayish, but everything since has been unmitigated crap.

Holy shit I just heard "The Adventure" (?) on the radio and fuck yes. The marriage of the emo and Chameleons/KoD/Comsat Angels-esque too-many-effects-pedals-is-not-enough dream pop is an idea whose time has surely come. I always hated Blink-182 but I find myself unable to contain my enthusiasm about this song--even his voice is less embarassing in the context of all those guitars. Also I like the clanky, barely audible beat backing up the drums throughout the song. It reminds me of "1979".
