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.
I cannot live, I can't breatheunless you do this with meI cannot live, I can't breatheunless you do this with meI cannot live, I can't breatheunless you do this with meI cannot live, I can't breatheunless you do this with meI cannot live, I can't breatheunless you do this with meI cannot live, I can't breatheunless you do this with me
Hey, oh, here I am (do this with me),and here we go, life's waiting to begin (do this with me).Hey, oh, here I am (do this with me).And here we go, life's waiting to begin,life's waiting to begin
So, is "I cannot live, I can't breathe unless you do this with me" how Tom Delonge asks for sex?

Jesus, dude, just give it up already:
Even as he prepares for blink-182's summer reunion tour, guitarist Tom DeLonge is deeply ensconced in the next project by his other band, Angels & Airwaves -- an album and film project called "Love" that should be out before the end of the year.DeLonge tells Billboard.com that "Love" -- which will be released for free thanks to corporate underwriting -- is "the biggest release of my life, the pinnacle of my creativity" and likens it to Pink Floyd's "The Wall" in the scope of its ambition. "It's super conceptual and highbrow in many ways, very artistic, very Stanley Kubrick," he says. "But it's not a rock opera. It's a very modern version of what could happen when you blend the film industry and the music industry together in a very, very arty, kind of cool way with professionals involved all along the path."DeLonge says the "Love" movie -- which began life as a documentary about Angels & Airwaves recording its 2006 debut album, "We Don't Need to Whisper," and expanded from there -- "blurs the line between full-fledged live action and documentary with these epic kind of...meditative sequences where the sound design and the music and the picture all bend together to create a sonic experience as much as a visual one." The script, meanwhile, "tells a story of human life and destiny but at the same time really makes usual moments of life extraordinary. It's a circular narrative in many ways, where it kind of sums up the human race in a time capsule."The music of "Love," DeLonge says, will have a prog-rock kind of flavor. "It's like blending Radiohead and U2 together with these kind of Pink Floyd movements," he explains. "Things happen unpredictably and take you to these epic soundscapes. It's very much in the spirit of Angels & Airwaves, but it sounds way, way more thought-out and way more ambitious."

And people say Kanye is an egomaniac?
― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Thursday, 18 June 2009 17:28 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, but tbh, he isn't proclaiming himself to be the greatest songwriter ever or anything. DeLonge is just way overestimating his talents and listeners level of actually caring about this project. Different from Kanye's ego-stroking.

also w/ Kanye his music is good enough that the self-aggrandizement seems ultimately kind of unnecessary. w/ Delonge it's just hilarious.

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.
