"Wow, sad to hear that Tom has been such a bummer." - Sam Houston

"Hard to tell from just that pic. Could be changing some of the volume pots, changing the pick guard, etc." - Sam Houston

"Nice. They look great :)" - Sam Houston

"Totally. I know just the basics, I know basically nothing about how the woods change stuff on acoustic guitars (or electrics)." - Sam Houston

"Haha, might be a fair guess :P" - Sam Houston

"This is awesome" - Sam Houston

"Hilarious to me that so many people didn't know what impetus means. Glad that some folks learned something new today :)" - Sam Houston

"The sound is going to be different. The jaguar bass has a mix between a p-bass pickup and a jazz bass pickup. That should give him a mix between the poppy sound he likes (via the p-bass pickup) and then the fuller, more bass-y sound that he can get from the Jazz bass pickup. His signature bass is just a p-bass pickup, so this bass should have more bottom end (bass) sound to it. That's if he mixes the two pickups together. What he might end up doing is switching between the pickups, or changing the blend between the two, for different songs. In a nut shell...this bass gives him a more diverse range of sound and more options." - Sam Houston

"I'll be there. I don't plan to record much of it but I'll probably try to snag some snips of video here and there." - Sam Houston

"Maybe he really likes the jaguar bass sound right now. I think his signature basses look cool, especially the wood finish bass, but oh well. Looking forward to hearing what the Jag sounds like." - Sam Houston

"The app lets you stream as long as you want. It can cut you off if you press stop streaming right after you're finish talking, since you actually should wait ~5 secs after talking to kill the stream. The same thing happens on Twitch. It's just the lag between the streamer and the streaming service that causes that problem." - Sam Houston

"I wouldn't read too much I to that tweet. Mark's always joked like that. I don't really see it as a direct jab at Tom. Just a joke." - Sam Houston

"I guess? Or maybe it's just him trying to save face a bit, saying something nice to diffuse the situation. Which I appreciate, it just doesn't do a whole lot publicly. Maybe it's something that is more meaningful to Mark, I have no idea what he thinks of this gesture. I'm hoping that the band starts talking more soon and gives more clarity to the future of this band." - Sam Houston

"I wonder what the impetus was for him to post that today." - Sam Houston

"It's not exactly like what he played. This is just a regular strat, where before he played a strat with a humbucker pickup." - Sam Houston

"I don't think it's very good. It sounds like a song that wouldn't make the cut for "The Dream Walker". The vocal parts are very, very similar to some stuff he did on that record (singing long notes that slide up or down at the end). Nothing remarkable. Just OK." - Sam Houston

"Here's the link: http://propertyofzack.com/post..." - Sam Houston

"Here's the link. Sounds a lot like the recent AVA album (which makes sense) with maybe a little bit of blink. http://propertyofzack.com/post..." - Sam Houston

"I hear you. In this case there's not even a "radio play" to go off of. It's just blindly spending $10 on a preorder without hearing anything from the album." - Sam Houston

"The chorus of Dammit." - Sam Houston

"Awesome, thanks for your time :) I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery! (- @SamHouston)" - Sam Houston

"Hi Drew, did you see the [recent VICE documentary](https://www.youtube.com/watch...) about fighting cancer with viruses? What do you think about those treatments? (I know nothing about cancer and cancer treatments. Just wondering if you've read or heard anything about this stuff and how viable it is, if you're interested in it, etc)" - Sam Houston

"I don't know much about the legal entity of a band and the process involved when they want to play with other members, or kick them out. I wish someone would explain how this works (mostly for personal interest)." - Sam Houston

"In the context of him posting old photos of blink all night, then posting this...makes me think he's saying this is the new blink." - Sam Houston

""My Shame is True" is an awesome album. Matt's solo album with the Sekrets is also really good. Checking out "From Here to Infirmary" as well." - Sam Houston

"Agreed. Great stuff!" - Sam Houston

"Mark's always made it very clear that he wants to record new music and doesn't want concerts to just be a greatest hits show." - Sam Houston

"He just popped on Meerkat (new video app) and said that the +44 rumor isn't true." - Sam Houston

"This isn't true. This is the real lineup: https://www.facebook.com/events..." - Sam Houston

"Okay. Then your argument assumes that Mark and Travis just want to play their previously released songs, which isn't true. They've both said they want to record and want to put out new music, which Tom was holding them back from doing. I'm hoping they'll record some new stuff this year." - Sam Houston

"Fwiw MusInk tickets are only $35." - Sam Houston

"Agreed. I've been a blink fan for 16 years, I've seen them many times, and I've even been able to meet Tom once. I dig his most recent AvA record a lot. But I do think Tom deserves criticism and to be called on his bullshit. I've been very vocal about this in this subreddit. I'm not trying to foster or create hatred against one person. It's important that we question and criticize behaviors and actions that don't make sense or come across as disingenuous." - Sam Houston
