My iPod #305: Blink-182 – Dumpweed

Well, no one answered my question that I raised in yesterday’s post. Eh, who needs ya anyway? I’ve just taken it upon myself to not do that post, which means that today is the last track from the ‘D’ section. It’s Blink-182 with the song “Dumpweed”, the opening track from their popular album “Enema of the State”.

“Enema of the State” is a good album. Quite a short one too, but filled with fast pop-punk songs about relationships, adolescence and aliens at one point. “Dumpweed” kicks the album off with tremendous pace and urgency. It’s one about a relationship too. The track has Tom detailing the problems of being with a girl who is unpredictable. Cute one time, and crazy the next. He wishes to have a girl ‘that he can train’ which I’m sure has gotten him into problems with some people. But it isn’t meant to be taken seriously, guys. Look at the album title.

The track also marked the introduction of a certain Travis Barker, then the new drummer for the band, who keeps the track’s energy alive with his versatility and rapid drum fills. Certainly a change for the better, I think every Blink-182 fan will agree on that.

So yeah, those are the “D” songs – bar one that I have on my iPod. I normally take a break after covering a letter of the alphabet. When the next one is coming…. I don’t know. But you can take the time to read the rest of the tracks I have on here.

Bye bye.

    i’m still thinking bout your Q in the previous post, but it’s way too complicated! 🙂 i think Counting Crows’s lyrics are excellent all round if that counts for something?

      Um….. don’t really listen to Counting Crow so I have no idea about their lyrics. I know they did that song for Shrek 2. Are you talking about the Lostprophets question by the way?

        “An album’s last words….”-post 🙂 oh yes, they did, but their first few albums are the best, especially the first one. not into that kind of music much anymore tho. but the old stuff stays with you, memories & all that.
