The Ongoing History of New Music, Episode 773: The Rise and Fall and Rise of blink-182 Part 1

The Christmas break is over, meaning that it’s time for long series of brand new Ongoing History shows. The year starts with a super-in-depth look at blink-182, a three-parter that looks at everything the band has been through since they got together in San Diego in the early 90s. There’s plenty of personal drama, record company issues and even a jet plane crash where plenty of people die. Man, you can’t make this stuff up.

Songs features in this week’s show (all by blink-182, of course):

Reebok Commercial

Marlboro Man

Caroulsel

M+M’s

Wasting Time

Dammit

Josie

What’s My Age Again

All the Small Things

Adam’s Song

Aliens Exist
