Sooo they'll be using a drum machine this time?

TEF (October 6, 2008)

Beat me to it. Damn you.

el_matt (October 6, 2008)

I wonder if they'll get Tom to start the machine...

mill83 (October 6, 2008)

OOOHHHH no the f*ck he didn't!!

10/10. The perfect comment.

el_matt (October 6, 2008)

I laughed out loud when i read your comment.

kidgotham (October 6, 2008)

Comment of the week and it's only Monday.

el_matt (October 6, 2008)

I wish we kept track of them, so i could flaunt it on the next Navel Gazing

jackalsteeth (October 6, 2008)

Wow, that was...just great. Bravo.

Dante3000 (rich) (October 6, 2008)

Luckily Travis Barker has boost mobile.

AnarchyPants (October 6, 2008)

They'll probably get Josh Freese to do it.

LookingForCorpses (October 6, 2008)

I'd guess that either he's doing ok, or, in usual fashion, this story is a couple of weeks late.

swank (October 6, 2008)

I imagine when they say "Full Recovery", that means he'll be able to drum.

But also, this story is probably late.

jacknife737 (October 6, 2008)

Correct me if i'm wrong, but weren't these posted before the accident?

Dante3000 (rich) (October 6, 2008)

I was going to make some joke about "That explains the twitter:
9/20 10am - take off, nice
9/20 10:03am - what the fuck?!
9/20 10:06am - Holy shit! We're going down!
9/20 10:15am - Oh shit! It burns!"

But I felt that would be tasteless.
-Dante

Problematiclogic (October 6, 2008)

Tasteless? Yes. Humourless? Yes.

Dante3000 (rich) (October 6, 2008)

Anyone who comes from a land where "humor" is spelled with an extra "u" clearly doesn't get comedy.
-Dante

JFK421 (October 6, 2008)

Might be wrong, but I laughed

jackalsteeth (October 6, 2008)

Does that include Eddie Izzard? Because I'd have to disagree with you there...

Dante3000 (rich) (October 6, 2008)

Eddie Izzard is a citizen of the world. He knows no country.
-Dante

Ravnos (October 6, 2008)

The Kids In The Hall would have to disagree with you there.

jacknife737 (October 6, 2008)

Yeah, i don't think the country that has spawned such comedic abortions such as Dane Cook and the blue collar guys is in a position to lecture anyone about taste.

Hi-ProGlow (October 7, 2008)

The United States apologizes for Dane Cook and the blue collar whatever the fuck

abracadaver (October 6, 2008)

AP Bio is such a bitch of a class.

edgelife (October 6, 2008)

I got a two on that shit, It REALLY prepared me for college bio though.

abracadaver (October 6, 2008)

It's the class I'm struggling with. Working my ass off for a B-, by far my lowest grade this year. Apparently if you get through his class, you're pretty much guaranteed a 4 or 5 on the AP Test though, which is reassuring.

deadelectromix (October 6, 2008)

It's like that for AP US History here at my school, that class gives kids ulcers.

Citizen_Crack (October 7, 2008)

I shat on that test my junior year.

Edgar13 (October 6, 2008)

like AP Lit. at my school, sorta trying and getting a D in the class (i've never TRIED before in school, so I don't know how to do it now)

xIxKilledxJesusx (October 7, 2008)

its not that bad, suck it up.. ap classes arent that bad at all

Bxbomber (October 6, 2008)

Craig Leg will kick your ass

baldsteve (October 6, 2008)

I liked the last record. It was pure pop, nothing 'punk' about it and I enjoyed it. It was nice to hear Mark without Tom's nasally shit fucking up the songs.

Bring the girl back.

mikexdude (October 6, 2008)

They covered my favorite song of all time...

baldsteve (October 6, 2008)

Can't watch youtube on my handheld. Was that Silly Girl or Good Good Things?

mikexdude (October 6, 2008)

Hahahahahahaha... good guesses! It's Christmas Vacation.

Holy_Balls (October 6, 2008)

If the girl is hot, they should. If not, they shouldn't.

baldsteve (October 6, 2008)

I never saw what she looked like, I liked her voice though. She was also on a few of the demo songs.

Punky_Chips_Ahoy_Oi_Oi_Oi (October 6, 2008)

http://www.plus44online.com/images/about_carol.gif

definitely good enough for a poke.

jackalsteeth (October 6, 2008)

Or six.

Holy_Balls (October 7, 2008)

This is true. I would do her.

LookingForCorpses (October 6, 2008)

I thought it lacked any real good "pop" elements and, as much as tom's voice is irritating, the lack of dynamic was noticeable.

baldsteve (October 6, 2008)

That's why I wanted the girl to stick around.

jacknife737 (October 6, 2008)

Agreed, a great pop record. It was nice to see them just create catchy music without trying to "reinvent music as we know it" like a certain egomaniac.

LookingForCorpses (October 7, 2008)

I thought this was basically just kind of boring Blink. Angels and Airwaves was actually pretty good.

Costanza (October 6, 2008)

not a roll, has anyone seen that dumb bitch from the view say she didn't know if the world was round or flat? ugh.

jackalsteeth (October 6, 2008)

Haha yes, ridiculous. And also, your alias is top notch.

DMZ (October 7, 2008)

i runined this post cause its post number 45.
