Box Car Racer : I Feel So
The results are light on penis-obsessed asininity and heavy on "introspection" from the Blink 182 boys...
Or ‘Dude, Where’s My Tune?’ as it will henceforth be known by those who prefer their bozo-pop fun-dappled and interesting rather than over-earnest and cobblers.
Box Car Racer is, of course, the "brainchild" of Blink 182’s Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker, who have skipped off for a confab with the Wonderful Wizard of Emo, leaving The Other One and, evidently, their sense of mischief, sitting at home looking at their shorts. The results are light on penis-obsessed asininity and heavy on "introspection" ("I wish I was smart" squeals DeLonge, optimistically) and thus ‘I Feel So’ is slightly better than anything by Blink 182. But then, so is getting your face chewed off by angry pigs so, really, it’s not that big a deal.
