Mark Hoppus Birthday Countdown 0 0 0. But let's just say that just about every single of theirs - 'Man Overboard', 'Rock Show', 'First Date', 'Dammit', 'Feeling This', etc - now feels like it owns a particular time in my life. My mother got me a 'Triple J' CD for my tenth birthday, and when I came across 'Man Overboard' for the first time, my obsession with it elevated to almost serial-killer status.
I literally shut myself up in my room for about three days, and just repeated the song on my little CD player, again and again and again. It wasn't until later in high school, that I actually discovered their other songs - their actual albums, not just their commercial hits.
And henceforth another three years of listening to nothing but them. Although I never related to their cocky, "let's party and fuck girls" mentality, my adolescent life was very largely shaped by them. For that reason, I always got really offended when people dismissed them as just a shitty band with no musicality whatsoever.
To some extent, that second statement was true - just watch them live!!! Their primary goal, whether consciously or not, was to show kids like me that being "talented" was not necessarily the only ticket into liking who you are. In their own right, they were an amazing band, who many people just didn't get or perhaps were too embarrassed to admit it.
People can hate on them, and draw comparisons to the crappy offspring of teenage "emo" bands that eventually overshadowed them. Even when they started growing up, and attempted being more experimental, they never fell into the emo shit that so many haters accuse them of doing. I have little good to say about the band these days. But Blink were, and always will be, in my opinion, the true kings of the late nineties. Foo Fighters can go fuck themselves.
So let's look at this book then, shall we? I thought, since this will be my only opportunity, I might as well give my thought-out opinion of the band. But now to the book. The person who added this to Goodreads is wrong - it was written by Anne Hoppus Mark's sister , not Mark Hoppus himself. She isn't by any means a good writer, but she tells of her experiences the way I imagine they really were, and I would personally prefer to read something by someone like this - someone who stood beside them right from the beginning, someone who argued and cried with them as they crammed eight people and tons of equipment into a failing van and got snowbound in the middle of the Rockies - than some contracted writer who just gets paid to give his formal, outsider interpretation of the band's story.
Primarily, the book functions as a chronological biography of the band's career, beginning way back when Anne and Tom were casual mates in high school, all the way up to the platinum-selling 'Enema of the State' album.
It features loads and loads off little back-stories, some hilarious and some actually quite insightful, such as the time Scott Raynor original drummer became really depressed and turned to alcoholism, as well as the more typical anecdotes, such as Tom Delonge getting arrested for public indecency, and being too scared to take a crap for the one long night he spent in prison, with another inmate that kept whispering, "I'm gonna eat your grits".
However, there is also many examples in this book, of just how smart and business-savvy Tom and Mark were in commercializing their band. But having attended - however briefly and unsuccessfully - a proper music institute after high school, I was made to understand the sad reality that commercialization is, in fact, more important than the quality of the music.
There's a certain reason why someone like Lady Gaga or God help us Justin Bieber, are so much more lasting than bands like Nirvana - ignoring the fact that the guy blew his brains out anyway. And look, I'm ranting about the band again. I'm sorry. Let's just round this off by saying that if you're still interested in the band, and especially if you're currently within the age group that Blink caters to - I recommend seeking this book.
It's an excellent read, and I've already gone through it five or six times. It's still sitting there on my shelf, in fact. Maybe it's about time I finally parted from it. Vicente Ribes.
