Love Billie giving Kevin the hug from behind 😄

I thought he hugged him and then it looks as though he started tickling him, Kevin seems to start to collapse slightly, Billie helps hold him up.

They do an animated video with this animation style.  Maybe if they did that to begin with, they wouldn't have been compared to Green Day so much.

At 0:22 in Cancer is the new black is that the zombie growl from Roshambo?

No doubt the US mail is screwed. Ordered a custom phone case with Fink on it that shipped the 5th from the state I literally share a border with and it sat in a distribution center for five days and isn’t supposed to get here until the 14th. 9 days to hop one state!!

Well spotted!

[pacejunkie punk]

I wonder how the Network merch sales are going. They probably should be pushing it more. They’ve been all quiet on the Network front for a while now.

[Annie, get your gun]

Well to me it's kind of disappointing they're using the site to just sell the new merch. The old version had all these odd pics and cool/funny stuff and now that we know all about it and the members it's like they're not trying anymore. They're effortlessly funny, I'd love to read more stuff like the K! interview

I have an old school network tshirt I want to show you guys, but even though I've been around here for a long time, I don't understand why I can't just drop the image in this box?

you have to upload the image to a photo site like flickr, tumblr or imgur then paste the image link here.

Found this baby in storage, was purchased from their website when Money Money 2020 came out!

I wonder if John Roecker was behind some of the old stuff? I got that impression, the weird/disturbing art and some of the writing seemed like it came from him. I guess without him being involved it's more just music with less of the side stuff. 

[Annie, get your gun]

Yeah, much alike the stuff from HLAHG presentation

[That Dude]

Where do the Network get there outfits?

I am going to start dressing like them and need to know where to start.  

Is it all custom, and also have any of the masks been spotted elsewhere? 

It would be really weird if people just bumped into these weirdos out and about.  Cruising the record stores, buying up all the Green Day records to figure how to confuse us.

[Annie, get your gun]

I like to think they're homemade   just to imagine them sewing their own clothes 

Fink's, Captain's, and Balducci's outfit seems like a normal suit covered with duct tape or something...

The Network's favorite band and main influence are back to show the world how it's done.

The first new song from Good Charlotte came out today and I'm very sad the Good Charlotte thread is so hard to find on here.    We're The Network Authority and we need to give these punk rock gods the respect they deserve. 

Anyway, what did I miss today?    Another Fink-centric video and a total lack of Van Gough?   

Wake me Up When Van Gough's singing.     I wish bands would announce when an era is over.       

We're just going to end up in era limbo and not know what's going on.    

I'm just now getting out of Trilogy Limbo and man am I damaged.   

Still in Rev Rad Limbo.    

 

[That Dude]

I don't think The Network are back.   I just think Los Straitjackets never left.  

Monster Mash.    Haha, I'm dead.

 

[Annie, get your gun]

An era is supposed to be over when a new record comes out, isn't it? Right now we're in two different eras and that should drive us crazy but The Network are as inconsistent as GD when it comes to post, or comunicate something, I'm afraid... 

My bet still is that the next video is from Van Gough, though

Must've been hard to keep up with the era(s) in the years 2000-2003. There was Warning, Shenanigans, International Superhits, and The Network. If an era ends when a new album comes out, then those eras were super short. Would compilation albums count as a new release, thus earning itself an era, or no?

I'm thinking the next video will be a Van Gough song too. After the album dropped, we got a Snoo song, two Fink songs, and now it only seems logical to suspect that the next video will be a Van Gough song. But The Network isn't very logical, now, are they. 

[Annie, get your gun]

^ I don't know, I treat Shenanigans as a studio album although I know it's not. I entered the eras after American Idiot  but yeah, those you mentioned were particularly short. 

The Network should give themselves the opportunity to make this era last longer than a year.

I had this exact shirt too! I was heavier and in high school then, so I'm not sure whether it's in my parent's garage or it got given to Goodwill. Wish I had it now.

Warning, Superhits, Shenanigans, Money Money, American Idiot.  No wonder I became a superfan in those years.    A steady stream of perfect releases.  

While we don't get albums and comps like that now, the guys typically have something come out every year in one way or another.

After experiencing loss of air from Covid, suddenly Tre's songs Asphyxia and Respirator became not joke songs, but very serious, with a sad, dark sarcasm. Talk about a shift in perception! Still slaps, this album.
