Hey, welcome back to another Duane’s Pit Stop. First off for this week, I would like thank Mark from Tulsa, Okalahoma for sending in the cool pictures we used in this edition of Pit Stop. As for this week’s posting, we have a smaller edition which is a relief to that inbred bastard Editor of this site, Matt Rowe. [ Editor's Note: Duane is just plain ole sore about the theft of a football game. He's still stinging about Da Bears when they snuck up and swiped the game from the Raiders. Serves the bastard right.] With that in tow, let's get to the news.
Blink-182: No Album Title, No Preconceptions - An art project is the way Blink-182 envisioned their fourth major-label studio album, which will be untitled, not called Use Your Erection I and II, as was once tossed around. If the album, due November 18, did have a title, perhaps Take Your Time and Polish It would be fitting. Ditching the typical recording process of writing and demoing several songs and recording them in a studio one instrument at a time, Blink-182 moved into a house and approached each song together.
The untitled album will feature 14 tracks, along with a bonus DVD containing six new videos — "Feeling This" plus five by director Scandalous — and footage from Blink-182's August performance for troops in the Middle East.
"Feeling This"
"Obvious"
"I Miss You"
"Violence"
"Stockholm Syndrome"
"Down"
"The Fallen Interlude"
"Go"
"Asthenia"
"Always"
"Easy Target"
"All of This"
"Here's Your Letter"
"I'm Lost Without You"
DVD:
"Feeling This"
"Obvious"
"Down"
"The Fallen Interlude"
"Violence"
