And Blow the Candles Out, Whoah

Today on Offspring Weekly:

Exclusive: DGB's cover is here! It's been leaked out in 64 pieces through twitter, Facebook and the official forums, where fans put the picture together as sort of a puzzle game. You know, the kind that thoughts you patience.


A tad clichéd, but a very-very neato cover, I gotta say. All it needs now is a creepy Slender Man figure in the background.

Early review: A Spanish site had the opportunity to hear the full record. According to their twitter we can expect one more crap special song like Cruising California, otherwise it's mostly good old Offspring material. They found it to be slightly better than Splinter (which is IMO a vastly underrated album even among fans) and RAFRAG (which was half good, half meh). Huge thanks to Castormut from the boards for translating it.

Video: Ignition show at Alex's Bar!



You see, their second (and my second favorite) album, Ignition had turned 20 years old, and they are celebrating it with a series of special shows. Held in relatively small clubs, the setlist mostly contains songs from that record - some of which they've never played live previously. I'd love to see one of these gigs, but for now videos like this have to do it. Even watching it like that, Forever And A Day sent a chill down on my spine.

Seems like every fan or has-been fan cries for a Smash Part 2. My bravest dream would be a new Ignition. But you know what they've been singin' since 2005: Those days are gun and we can never get them back.

Well. A re-recorded Dirty Magic is something, isn't it? Come on, late June (and pirate rippers of early June), hurry up.
