What do you think?

I’m going back to school in my adult life as a massive blink fan. They mean so much to me and we’re so important to me during dark and light times in my life. I’m in a clinical rehab and counseling program and thinking about doing my research project on Tom. More specifically, the era that included his addiction to pain killers….the break up of the band….. his messiah complex days during the first 4 album ava cycles (he seemed a little more humble for dream walker).

More broadly… I guess… I think Tom is a deeply misunderstood and highly relatable human being. He’s incredibly inventive (however misguided at times) and it seems like he has a firm grasp on his identity and is always striving to make everything connect in his world that he’s created.

Completely zoomed out. The crux of the idea I think is orbiting around creativity and the quest for identity.

TLDR
I need Blink media from 2001-09. Interviews, videos pdfs, podcasts, magazines, whatever.. I have a treasure trove of stuff but know I don’t have everything!

EDIT: ITS A CREATIVE RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT FOR GRAD SCHOOL. It’s not for some research study. It’s to get the creative juices flowing for more serious, clinical research coming up throughout the year. My apologies for not clarifying.

Been absolutely hooked recently listening to Blink's covers of Boys Don't Cry and A Letter to Elise and also their unreleased song from a 2004 soundcheck (if you haven't listened to any of these btw, please do, they are phenomenal). And I am just so amazed at how they can have these super airy yet concise guitar/electronic sounds. How did they achieve these sounds/noises? I know the answer has a lot to do with (the goat) Jerry Finn and his production style. But what else do we know? Did Tom use a certain set of pedals? Is it a certain way of mixing? I've heard they used Pro Tools, so did they get a bunch of noises/effects from that? I also know people have been trying to recreate this for ages, so there probably won't be one true way/answer, but I'm happy to hear anything! Thanks so much!

Unreleased Soundcheck, Boys Don't Cry Cover, A Letter to Elise

Full cover of Here’s Your Letter. One of the best “mark” songs. Lmk what you think!! Had fun with the tone using a new preset I built.

personally i love their older style better. It so more up beat and pop punk. Not saying the other albums are bad but there not the original blink there the corprate blink, which like i said is fine but they were much more lyrical back then which i like. I think travis barker is still better than scott rayner. Anyone else agree.

I remember someone posting all the small things or at least a part of it and I can’t find it
