I think I mentioned it here before, but when I was talking to my coworker about how much I love Billie and showed her a picture, she commented that he's good looking and "has a pretty mouth." I absolutely agree with that. I stare at it whenever he's talking or singing. Either his mouth or his eyes. All of his features are just captivating.

Love that album!

I knew what it was. Why did I click? Why?

When you help out with some digging at your dads allotment and the soil around your fingernail reminds you of this:

It’s everything 😍😍😍

I’ve never seen this photo from that photoshoot but for the longest time I’ve been looking for the original that this one is based on. Can anyone find it?

Come now, the man's a professional.

I wanna share a few pics I like recently. They're not so hq but again lips and mouth This is young Billie, he still looks pretty much same imo lol

no one knows because no one knows what the hell is gonna happen this week, let alone the next 3 months.

Father of All has gotten a lot of criticism for it's length, but looking through the band's entire discography, most of their songs are short. Out of 170 studio songs, 26 are 4 minutes or longer. Roughly 15% of Green Day songs. And the 10 minute songs from American Idiot, once broken into their five parts, are about 2 minutes or less a piece. Same thing with Forever Now and possibly Dirty Rotten Bastards. It stared on Warning, with Misery being their first longer song. Then with the concept albums, where they took the longer structure and did something magical. AFTER THE CONCEPT ALBUMS: Despite the Trilogy being so different, they still each had 2-3 longer tracks. Same thing on Revolution Radio. While it was closer to the concept albums, they kept it at 2-3 longer tunes as well. Father of All. The first Green Day album to not have a longer song in 23 years!

^^^ That last one is perfection 😍

I wanna share a few pics, I actually could share many more great pics here but feel kinda lazy lol I think his hair very gorgeous here. Straight but fluffy. Also there is some reddishness in the color. I think his natural hair is similar to that. This one is from the same event but I realized that I have a thing for his lips and also mouth. I don’t know why but I always first pay attention and focus on them. I love the shape of his mouth especially when he opens it while singing etc. Lastly, realized I have some kind of ‘type’ when it comes to general appearance. When I look at people I have a crush on, they are very few but have similar features. Eyes, lips all that. I have never been crushed on a man like Billie before but still a woman with the similar appearance. Not like very similar overall but you know lol Even their regions are kinda same but I prefer Billie 🖤 lol

Pretty sure he was first and anyway, he looked (and sounded) much better.

It looks like he broke into MCR’s wardrobe

How many times did Billie wear this jacket? Was it only for one show? Because if that's the case, it's a tragedy because he looks fine as hell in it. This has always been one of my favorite sets of photos of him. The hair, outfit, eyeliner - all absolutely perfect!

Watch less news. Go outside for fresh air more.

So this is a fairy tale. Albums are not free to make. Sure some people may be able to record multiple albums on a budget of less than $2000 but the quality is always shit. It's not even with the charm of old Lookout stuff it's literally Audacity tin can mix. I've made 2 albums and if you include the total cost of equipment, computers, software and accessories we're over $10,000. However, with the system I have set up that $10,000 can stretch for years and I am currently writing and recording about 30+ songs and working on another project of about 12-14 songs. I'll go on to write another 45 sometime after that all within that budget. It's not a pro mix or master but it's not tin can audacity. It's somewhere near Kerplunk but it's good enough for me. In a major label pro setting there are pro producers, pro engineers, higher level gear that costs more. Has there been a major cost-reduction in the operations of recording an album? Yes! Have professionals become more agile and has technology improved productivity and created a more dynamic recording environment? Yes! But no, it is not free. Sales are down, costs have reduced with it. Margins are still non-existent. 21cb was the last they recorded at Oceanway and they never went that route again. It wasn't worth it they sold a little over a million copies. That was probably the break-even point. @WhiteTim might have some insight on that.

Looks like the performance of ITWAN on Corden has nearly twice as many views as Oh Yeah had on the same show. Unless I'm forgetting something, it looks like it has more than any late night FOAM performance.

It's cool to see them use so much Trilogy footage because it feels like they're acknowledging the era even though it was a dark time. There's a lot of good in the era, but of course, it's overshadowed by Billie's rehab stint, so it's cool to see them highlight the good that came from it.
