Weekend Song – Blink-182
June 21, 2008
Of all the bands with numbers in their names, Blink-182 are probably my favourite.
They generally don’t add up to much anyway (arf): Sham 69, Fun Boy Three, the Guilford Four, Shed Seven, Sum 41, Haircut 100, Thousand Yard Stare, right up to 10,000 Maniacs and simply 5 (or 5ive) who took a minimalist approach to the trend started by Fives Maroon, Jackson and Ben Folds.
Plus, they are the only ones with a dash in their name. Blink-182. Like Spider-Man.
I like the catchy angst of this song, and the drumming is amazing. And there’s a middle bit with the same chords as The Police’s So Lonely or Bob Marley’s No Woman No Cry.
Get ready for action!
Listen: Feeling This

that was ace! i’ve not heard much Blink 182 other than “I Miss You”, which is also ace.
Not a big fan of U2? Or more of a fan of the name Blink-182?
I would’ve added 311 to the list, though unsure if you’ve ever heard of.
Blink-182 is skillz and so is your blog. Love that song.
