blink-182 – All the Small Things
Listen now
Description
Our journey through 1999 continues with pop punk sensation blink-182 and their smash hit, “All the Small Things“. It’s two minutes of romantic pop-punk sensibilities filled with bombastic drum fills and nasally declarations of love. And the video is supremely 1999, even if that means that you won’t get half of the references. Join Wes and Clay as they talk about a band that neither finds particularly enjoyable and a video that both find to be obnoxiously unfunny and boring. Punk rock has a reputation for subverting cultural values and mocking those in power, and blink-182 adds to that perception by… imitating pop stars from 1999 by dressing up like them and dancing in an airplane hangar? The guys also discuss the importance of having a good drummer, meeting rocks stars as a youth, and why “Damnit” is the best blink-182 song! * Listen to the songs we’ve covered!* Spotify Playlist * https://open.spotify.com/user/thepenskyfile/playlist/1SvoYXpmFmDJEWYZTX4d7X?si=8XoDVTARSWGuXEu2j-rM8A* Listen and Subscribe: * Website* https://thepenskyfile.com/* iTunes* https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-radio-star-murders/id1453430163* Spotify* https://open.spotify.com/show/3eqYAkRneGzmFqE0BHyv3u* PocketCasts* https://pca.st/qD7x* RSS * https://thepenskyfile.com/category/podcasts/radio-star-murders/feed/* Support the show:* Patreon* https://www.patreon.com/thepenskyfile* PayPal* https://www.paypal.me/thepenskyfile* Merchandise * https://teespring.com/stores/the-pensky-file* Connect with us:* Wes on Twitter* https://twitter.com/PenskyFile* Clay on Twitter* https://twitter.com/DeadMeatComic* Facebook* https://www.facebook.com/thepenskyfilepod/* Discord* https://discord.gg/WQTYbzt* E-mail * [email protected]
