I have some exciting news. No, really. I was perusing my Facebook news feed this morning and happened to notice Angie's status: BLINK ARE BACK!!!!! HALLELUJAH!! Blink. As in 182. As in one of my favorite bands O.A.T. Mark, Tom and Travis have had a special place in my heart since the tender age of 13 when I thought listening to them made me totally punk. I had some serious blink gear, too, including a peechee with a photo of them in the ocean wearing little swimsuits and floatation devices. I thought that was pretty scandalous, and I loved it. I wavered back and forth between Tom and Travis as my faves and finally settled on Tom (still love him so much).
If I can still write about my love for this band so emphatically after so many years, it's safe to say that I am incredibly stoked to read on their official site that they are back in the studio again after a long hiatus and some uninteresting side projects. I have their last self-titled album on my iPod right now, no joke, but I am personally hoping for a harkening back to the Dude Ranch days. Please leave Robert Smith out of this one and just be yourselves, guys, because that is how I have always loved you. I know you're all like, dads now and stuff, but that doesn't mean you have to make "mature" music. Remember who your fans are: perpetual 13-year-olds like me.
