I call them the Foxboro Hot Tubs Can't put my finger on why that is

Lukie being sarcastic I believe lol

If I find another copy of any of these and if my financial situation remains as favorable as it's recently been, I just might have a nice Japanese person send a little printed material parcel to Argentina. You're not being annoying at all, in fact, when I asked that question, both here and on tumblr, I expected answers, so yay. I'll have these scanned by a professional the moment my salary has cleared, as the last magazine is basically a book - 200 pages of nothing but Green Day. Some previews, especially for you. The other magazine, the one Ham Sascale also asked about, has Green Day on cover and there's a ten-page article. Five of those pages are images - two centerspreads of the band and one pinup of Billie with a guitar. I might be able to scan that one at home, at least I could get the cover done.

I think Nimrod is great as an album. The variety of different sounding songs pulling you in different directions is part of its charm, but I don't think it's totally incohesive. As well as the general "Green Day sound", there's a subtle kind of retro/surfy sound running through it that makes things feel connected, cemented particularly well by Last Ride In giving you a tongue in cheek relaxing surfy interval in the middle of the energetic twists and turns of the other songs. There's other little things about the structure that make the songs better as an album than individually as well, for example the contrast between Last Ride In and Jinx, Jinx and Haushinka running together almost like one song, the delightfulness of going from Take Back to King For A Day to Good Riddance, probably their three most different sounding/surprising songs so far at that point back to back, and the deliberate move of almost but not quite going for the obvious choice of making a slow ballad called Good Riddance the last song. Unlike Shenanigans which is a pretty much random collection of b-sides where I wouldn't particularly care what order they were in, Nimrod feels like a thoughtfully structured album to me, with the wide variety of the songs working as part of the structure.

My train ride to work is exactly 21stCB long

Wow you didn't get into them in 2008? You're a fan of the "new" Tubbies then, and not a real fan if I should say so myself.

8th Ave Serenade is a great song but much better live. I remember hearing it at the Echoplex and thinking "Holy shit, this is so catchy." Same with Kill the DJ though. Also, that comment about the Tubbies is perhaps the most peculiar instance of pretentiousness I've ever read. For a side project band with one album and hardly even a tour, I'd say it's awfully dumb to call people old and new Tubbies fans. So they will never tour again? Darnnnn Dun dun dun dun dun dun duuun dun duuun. Duh nuh duh dum da duh dum da da da da da da

Now I got it.. 21st Century Breakdown test pressing.. never seen one like that before. There yo go.. I do, I just wanted to wait till I recieved it in the mail

SEALED "Holiday" (Cardsleeve, EU):

Thanks for replying. That's a really cool story.

This is from the "Green Day Special Book" that was included with the March 2010 issue of Crossbeat.

Haushinka teases with repetitiveness but once it gets to that punchy, emotional bridge, it's fucking wonderful and everything feels cohesive by the end. That's definitely one of my top Green Day songs ever.

Received it today

I love how people still call him Steven when that's not anything close to his name

I bet your favorite Tubbies song is "Fuck Time" with the original lyrics. I bet you think DOS is better than Stop Drop and Roll. Honestly if you didn't know about the Tubbies right away and didn't buy their album on opening day and didn't see them at that one live show they played ever then you're not a real fan.

Worst celeb in-flight meltdowns Billie Joe Armstrong: Fashion police now on board Passenger suitability appears directly proportional to pant sag when flying on, again, Southwest Airlines. Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong was kicked off a plane in 2011 for wearing pants that hung too low on his hips. Armstrong tweeted on September 1, "Just got kicked off a southwest flight because my pants sagged too low!" The musician was on a Southwest Airlines flight from Oakland to Burbank -- is this the same flight that Silent Bob was kicked off of? Southwest apologized to Armstrong, who really should be thankful he wasn't arrested. http://www.wptz.com/money/travel/worst-celeb-inflight-meltdowns/29670914 Get In The RED ZONE: An Exclusive Interview With Vinnie Moore Of UFO/RED ZONE RIDER KNAC.COM: How did you choose your drummer Scot Coogan? MOORE: We choose Scotty because he kind of looks like Billie Joe Armstrong from GREEN DAY and we thought that it would really help us if people thought a mega star singer was playing drums for us. http://www.knac.com/article.asp?ArticleID=13630

Can you please scan first two "Rockin On"'s in upper row? Thanks.

WHAT KIND OF AN AMATEUR WROTE THIS ARTICLE? They include RHCP and they don't make one single mention of one of the greatest composers in popular music of the last twenty five years, they DON'T EVEN INCLUDE A PHOTO FROM THE RELEVANT ERA. An angry John Frusciante fan is about to go on a rampage...JUST FUCKING WATCH ME.

OMG Iva!!! I wish I could afford some of these precious stuff I don't mean to be annoying, but it would be great to know what's inside the 2nd Rockin'on from the top row and the last Crossbeat from the bottom row... Please?

That's fine, it's best not to try and just pretend it doesn't exist.

I love that sweater. He looks so warm and comfy. I just want to start a fire, crawl up next to him and put on Turner Classic Movies.

Do you think if I went to a GD concert Billie Joe would choose me to go up on stage if I held up a sign saying "I'll make you feel tall"?

This is what I have so far! (This is just Green Day wise).

21st Century Breakdown on vinyl. Literally like, three minutes ago, I just ordered the Wake Me Up When September Ends 7" single on vinyl and Holiday 7" single on vinyl.

From tumblr, with fans So cute

:wub:

That photo will always be disturbing to me, given the context. Just sayin'.
