Blink And You'll Miss It

In this song: TIM ARMSTRONG, Tom DeLonge, (also jordan pundik) (capitalization denotes prominence in the song) (also, I may have called him jordan pudnik in the episode. I apologize if that is the case and that is almost definitely the case) (ENJOY!) Episode 27 – Cat Like Thief Here’s a video of a performance of … Continue reading Episode 27 – Cat Like Thief →

This is where it all began. Diana (from Macintosh & Maud) joins me to discuss this, the first song on the first album that was the result of the band’s first jam session. Also, if you’re keeping track at home, we’ve now made it through one alphabet of songs! Episode 26 – Carousel Here’s a … Continue reading Episode 26 – Carousel →

It’s Friday so that means we’re getting scientific. Strap in as I check the veracity of the very concise claims made in today’s song! Episode 25 – Can’t Get You More Pregnant Yep. This one has a lyric video, too! Transcript Week 5 Songs (Spotify Playlist) Running List of All the Songs (Spotify Playlist)

Modern production values but still a song where Mark sings a relatively mellow song. It’s interesting how alphabetizing has ordered these tracks. Episode 24 – California Here’s a lyric video. I think they made lyric videos for every song on the album. So that’s a choice they made. Transcript Week 5 Songs (Spotify Playlist) Running … Continue reading Episode 24 – California →

Today’s song is an old one and a wonderfully serious one! I like it when Blink gets sincere and this song is certainly that. They’re not all jokes all the time. Sometimes, they’re examinations of relationships on the rocks. Don’t worry, the jokes aren’t gone. They’re just a much more complex band than people realize! … Continue reading Episode 23 – Cacophony →

This is a song all about problem solving. You have a problem, you figure out a way to solve it. Simple as that. Special shout-out to Colin (@colinmparker) who didn’t even realize he was recording something for this song! Episode 22 – Built This Pool Here’s a video of them performing. I had to choose … Continue reading Episode 22 – Built This Pool →

When I say that every episode is over before you know it, it’s sort of just a tagline. Usually. This episode is SHORT. Because this song is SHORT. But it’s not the shortest song I’ll play this week. The playlist for this week can’t be more than 10 minutes long. <checks> It’s 7 minutes long … Continue reading Episode 21 – Brohemian Rhapsody →

It’s the end of the week and we have a gem of a song. I get into it a little in the episode, but I was very very pleased to get to know this song and EP a little better. I’ve definitely not given it enough credit. Episode 20 – Boxing Day Here’s a video … Continue reading Episode 20 – Boxing Day →

Today on the show, we’re talking about a track from the 2017 Deluxe edition of California. It’s a good one and it has some songwriting pedigree that might get you fairly excited! (ahem…CRJ…) Episode 19 – Bottom of the Ocean Here’s a lyric video that takes sort of the same format as the Bored to … Continue reading Episode 19 – Bottom of the Ocean →

I am joined once again by Diana from Macintosh and Maud to discuss the Dude Ranch track “Boring”. We decide that it’s an enjoyable song, but that it’s really more of a bridge song than anything else. And also what’s with the horse sounds? We get into it! Listen and enjoy! Episode 18 – Boring … Continue reading Episode 18 – Boring →

After rumors and live performances, Blink-182, with Matt Skiba replacing Tom DeLonge, came roaring back into the national spotlight. Hear about how the song came together as I…well, as I read from the Wikipedia page. It was very informative, so I don’t feel very bad at all about it

Yeah. I know that that’s probably not what the song is actually called. I know. Listen to the episode and see why I have titled the song in this manner. Also in this episode, cohost of my other podcast Unabashedly Obsessed, Erin! I have selected her to come talk about the dirtiest of the dirty … Continue reading Episode 16 – Blew Job →

In this episode I get into the history of the band and how this song, which was recorded halfway through the recording sessions for … Continue reading Episode 14 – Baby Come On →

Halfway through the week and we are very busy here at Blink and You’ll Miss It. Aemyn joins us once again and we build our vocabulary and one of us even makes the journey up into space to see if this whole “feeling of fatigue and hopelessness caused by long periods of time in space” … Continue reading Episode 13 – Asthenia →

It’s amazing that the episode about my absolute favorite Blink-182 song, happens so early in the show. And I get to talk with someone about it! Joining me for a discussion about this career highlight is Aemyn, from the But Yeah podcast! Episode 12 – Apple Shampoo Here’s a video from 2013, you’ll notice that … Continue reading Episode 12 – Apple Shampoo →

We’re kicking off the week with the first track from 2001’s Take Off Your Pants and Jacket!

This one….is a cover! It’s one of two (or POSSIBLY three) covers that I’ll be…..covering, I suppose, on this show. It’s just me again today, but never fear. There’ll be a shiny new guest for you to meet tomorrow! Episode 9 – Another Girl, Another Planet Here’s a performance of the song by the original … Continue reading Episode 9 – Another Girl, Another Planet →

It’s a shorter episode today for a couple of reasons, I was recording this one solo, AND I couldn’t really find a lot of background on the song. I did find some interesting things to discuss about the song but it wasn’t a LOT. But I never said that I’d always get super close to … Continue reading Episode 8 – And I →
