Music, music, music and more music. - BJA in their Oakland Coffee message video 10min ago https://coffeehouse.oaklandcoffee.com/video/a-special-thank-you-from-billie-joe-mike-and-tre?utm_source=All Emails&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2022-02-08 Green Day Video Message Non-Sub (XmRugj)&_kx=xOwEbY-iOMwsu99c26VPQnDNN3c8Dq-CxLE0TnBeGpK_gIyfZgyx9NECql7FbP2_.VwGu8z A message from our founders, sharing their appreciation and how excited they are for the year ahead. We have so many awesome plans in the works this year. We can’t wait to share everything with you!

Happy anniversary FOAM! This album is still a banger. TTMAC? Sugar Youth? MMOTR? Hell. Yes.

I hope this means we’re moments away from a big blowout of 1972 news!!!

Wow, poor Billie. He must really be hurting. That car means so much to him. It's way more than just a car. The Network guitars I don't know if he's as attached to, but they're still a part of his musical history so I'm sure he's feeling that loss too. He's just such a sweet person! It's awful to do something like that to him, and yet he isn't mad at the one who stole it, he just wants it to come back to him. That thief is lucky they stole from probably the nicest person possible. Most others with that kind of valuable might have their heads for that.

Sugar Youth, Take The Money and Crawl, Graffitia and Meet Me on The Roof are pretty good. I like it. No trap beats Happy birthday to the 100% uncut rock album.

I haven't seen Billie's last live video but I hope he gets his car back. ...also he looks so damn adorable in the screencaps 🥰

That's it. They're difficult to explain, but they are digital files that are sold in place of the actual object and the purchaser owns it. Personally, it feels like a scam to me, it also takes an enormous amount of electricity to maintain individual NFTs on servers.

Shoutout to Uptight, a greatly under appreciated tune from Nimrod, together with Prosthetic Head!

I've uploaded the video on my channel

I thought Billie said at the time there were 6 songs left over from the FOAM sessions Billie is that you? 👀

Old pics of Mike and this one is from the Brixton 2013 show where/when Mike showed his Brixton tattoo off to the crowd

https://people.com/music/green-day-billie-joe-armstrong-turns-1962-chevy-nova-guitars-stolen/?amp=true Holy shit!!! According to this article, a couple of Billie’s guitars were stolen too!!!!

Crappy day, so I need Billie and dogs.

Maybe they can just finish their iHeart set

Nothing. They have only two hits. 😜

One hope I hang on is the fact that NFTs get a lot of blowback for being bad for the environment. I can't see owners of a socially and environmentally conscious organic coffee company promoting NFTs. The two just don't go together. It would come off as hugely hypocritical. That said, I understand musicians have to diversify these days and that means there's going to be an equal emphasis on merch, other products and music (that last bit being by far the least profitable) but I still want to see more of a separation of Green Day as a band versus Green Day the founders of Oakland Coffee. It makes the music seem like a side gig. I had hoped we were getting a single this friday in which case I had hoped for more of an announcement of new music by now beyond a coffee ad. If there's no single, then we could be further away than we think. They could announce something that is months away if Billie's birthday plays no part in this.

Why do I have a feeling these amazing plans include seeling coffee, NFTs and special edition coffee NFTs for non-coffee drinkers.

I'm not Billie. I'm the Reverend Strychnine Twitch. I just shared my expectation. Excited for the new music...

Seven, and again he’s mentioned multiple numbers of songs in many interviews in 2020. We have no idea where the six he recorded for 1972 came from, they could have been written more recently

I just found the vinyl for BBC Sessions at my local bookstore yesterday! I already have the CD, but this was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. And the best part is there was no shipping cost!

Nothing new here but thought I'd post anyway

ASCAP 2006

I MISSED IT! 😭 Eye 👏 liner 👏 on 👏point!

Yeah but rich or poor, losing something of sentimental value is a huge loss

When Billie says this it sounds like Mike is saying "coffee coffee coffee new album" But that could just be my imagination...

Did they just post this?

It’s not as dumb as it appears, it’s meant as a joke. Instead of I was a teenage alien, werewolf, etc. the typical things that follow that line, he’s just saying he was an ordinary teenager and nothing special. Could he have developed that idea better in the rest of the song? Absolutely. But it starts with a decent idea. That’s the problem I have with most of FOAM. Much of it starts with a good idea and then craps out before reaching the finish line.

That was like a year ago or more so we don’t if they’re the same six songs. There were a string interviews in 2020 where he said he wrote six then three more then some other number, he’s always writing stuff, writing doesn’t get much notice. A lot of that was said prior to the Network album and the three singles dropped since and could have been for that. What he told the fan was that they recorded six songs. Recording is a significant step from writing and that’s why that’s the true origin of the EP speculation.

Yeah the song is good. Teenage Teenagers. Wooden floor made of wood. I was young when I was born.

am I the only one who loves I Was A Teenage Teenager? lol I sure hope they play some of these songs live one day. Sugar Youth cant go to waste like that, MMOTR would be lots of fun live too.

Listening to this album front to back for the first time since probably 2020- and it’s a really decent album! I don’t regret the fact that they released this album at all! It’s a straight up rock and roll album with some cool weird production bits included. Im honestly glad they went this direction instead of releasing another RevRad (still a fan of that album though)

It looks like one of The Network guitars

As far as I know there's no broadcast of this...so I'm not as excited anymore 😩

75-90 mins

Is there a quota on jokes now? 😄

Just an out of the box thought but I wonder if his lawyers told him to take the post down because by promising to pay their bail he was entering into some kind of verbal contract with criminals that could unintentionally be conspiracy (like if insurance fraud was alleged or something). So to avoid getting bound to a verbal agreement he had to take it down.

It’s a joke because we haven’t had any new teases

Happy birthday, you stupid album.

I really hope it’s not the reason. I get that people don’t want to be mean, but all those memes feel quite inappropriate. He’s obviously quite upset, it’s clearly not a good time for those

Well, they've done it for Project Chimps, so I wouldn't put it past them, even though it seems like an extraordinarily bad pick for a nature friendly business. I get that we live in a society and you can't have a business without making money, and I'm not getting upset over that as a concept, but turning your super famous band into a vessel for selling coffee just wasn't a good choice. I don't know, it's just not very exciting to me.

I got it in an email just now so it’s going out to the coffee mailing list

And would have gone on social media in full rant!

imo, yes! maybe even sth official (official statement from the band, first single, etc) they play their "super bowl" show this week

Someone else joked about it a page ago

Sure wish Sugar Youth had a bridge. Another thirty seconds man

Should we make it’s own thread for Billie’s stolen car in case it gets more media attention? Here is one article from the local OC paper https://www.ocregister.com/2022/02/06/green-days-billie-joe-armstrong-says-classic-chevy-stolen-in-costa-mesa/?utm_email=45BA04B534B255E234D14526D4&g2i_eui=7ENBBYfW0fOrdvveScq5aBkGODvN71Y7&g2i_source=newsletter&lctg=45BA04B534B255E234D14526D4&active=no&utm_source=listrak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Story+Button&utm_campaign=scng-ocr-breaking-news&utm_content=alert

Few screenshots (I only joined halfway through) Sometimes if something has sentimental value, as this car obviously does for Billie, nothing can replace it. It's like you get a bag stolen and there's a precious photo inside you can never get back

No one sets out to randomly steal a car and goes for one in a garage (prob equipped with a house alarm system) that also accidentally belongs to a guy known for a pretty niche taste in cars.
