Eye on DeLonge: New Angels and Airwaves Video

Posted by pixie | Filed under Uncategorized

If I ever had the chance to interview Tom DeLonge, which is unlikely, considering my history of writing about him in the way that I do, do you think he’d steal my soul? I don’t understand what it is about his eyes, but he needs to stop looking straight into the camera when he makes videos because it is frightening when he does it. I feel my soul being sucked out by his creepy black teddy bear eyes.

See?

That said, “Breathe” is a really nice song. I like the lyrics and the sound of it.  Tommy D. has seemed to get his voice, which was quasi-irritating when he was in Blink-182, under control.

The most shocking thing about this video is the lack of pretentiousness. When I saw they’d posted a new video, I was like a cartoon wolf salivating at the thought of catching Bugs Bunny. “Finally! A chance to explore the pretentious nature of Mr. Tom DeLonge!,” I thought, and then he/the band went and hit me with a fairly standard video and a song I really liked.

I’m pretty sure this is the first time in my life I have been bummed out to like a song.
