“I’d write a whole record of radio songs…” YOU DID MARK

[@ddust102]

On TOPAJ- the label specifcally asked for two radio singles and they wrote First Date & Rock Show to placate them

[@Farfarawai]

thats why tom left him

[@himynameisbrandonlee]

they wrote those two songs as f*** y** songs. but the label actually liked them. done @@ddust102

[@himynameisbrandonlee]

well thats not true. hahahahahaha@@Farfarawai

[@Farfarawai]

how is that not true? tom always were aiming on creating different sounding(just to be clear, im not hating on mark, i love him)@@himynameisbrandonlee

[@Rafael.lima87]

He was NOT in the mood for this interview 😂

[@charlielanda5140]

This is the most real interview I have seen. Mark was dodging all the bad questions like a champ. ⚡

[@luisbootlegs7429]

The name of the Spanish journalist is "José Antonio". I've got a physical copy of the actual Spanish magazine in which this interview ended up being included and personally read it a hundred times over the years. The fact that I've just watched the actual video of the same interview with Mark boggles my mind. When I first watched this video, I was like - Hold on!, why on earth am I familiar with every single word that Mark is saying!?. I would love to speak to you about this interview. Thanks so much for uploading this!

Damn, that must have been a trip

[@-_-Code-_-]

DANG! I forgot what a looker Mark was in his hey day ...

[@mitchywraps6373]

hes always been the bed rock of blink and only member there from the start

[@BookClubDisaster]

Chuck Klosterman's book The Nineties talked about how the decade was filled with these discussions of being a "sellout" and that concept has all but disappeared. His need to basically justify being on a major label illustrates this. No band would ever even be asked that today

[@brandonxpagano]

Dan Ozzi wrote Sellout about the 90's-early 2000's wave of punk bands signing to majors too. Blink has their own chapter.

[@erika6651]

I remember this being a huge thing we talked about back in the day and I'm legit culture shocked to find out "selling out" is no longer an accusation thrown out there. I had mixed feelings about it back in the day. The underground creates some incredible artists, and folks like Ani Difranco are admirable, but I never believed musicians should starve to fit someone's demands or ideals.

Super interesting interview! Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Argentina 🤘🏼

[@bxbbyxx]

Haven't seen this clip before - thanks for sharing!

[@samdiego1965]

5:58 Mark is worth now 8 times what he said he’d retire off of and he’s still going

[@CristianPardo1]

I had never seen this interview, thanks for sharing.

[@NatDdLZ]

He is sooo handsome!... Omg!!🔥🔥🔥😍😍

[@rathbone_]

That was cool, thanks for sharing

[@BUDDYHEAD]

Thanks dawg

[@robertaustin6302]

I respect the fact that Mark told it just like it is. We’re here to make music and have fun. And to get our shit out to as many people as possible. We’ve worked our asses off to get here and 25 years later they’re still killing it. No shame in that! 😊

[@MoniqueTx]

not him reading a magazine while doing an interview lmao

[@mathcat721]

Thanks

[@BUDDYHEAD]

Hell yeah

[@binxboi7156]

The fascinating thing about this clip completely connects with the amazing article that Punk Planet wrote about warped tour where they just tore it a new asshole.

[@johnzackarias11]

[@SonOfManMusic]

[@bon2yan88]
