Yeah but if bands aren't selling albums, labels aren't gonna keep the band hah.

That is only true on maybe the 2 first year of your contract with a label. (major)
After that, depend on the type of contract you sign, they can still make money without the band itself selling cd's, because they can just re-press some cd with their master they have banked.
If the label doesn't have the master of the cd(s), then you are half right (because touring exposure is still a big thing for major labels).

good thing I bought the album off iTunes and I buy a shirt at almost every show i go to. I go to too many shows to really buy merch at every single one... and i haven't seen Mastodon.... yet

how can you like a band like mastodon and be able to stomach a piece of shit trio of faggots like blink? they suck live, they cant write music, and they are total faggots

you are crazy

......because i like more than one genre? lol

i'm a big fan of pop-punk and their album is something i like. there are a lot of pop-punk bands that i enjoy significantly more than blink once i actually ventured into the genre and found out what it's all about... blink like to display a very childish immaturity which a lot of people find displeasing, something i can understand, but they've been one of my favorite bands since i was about 8. their music has actually helped me through some seriously bad times, along with other pop-punk bands, and i'll never really forget that. plus, i've met them all and they're very genuine and nice people, with the possible exception of tom, who is kind of a douche. but travis and mark are sweethearts. also, i've seen them live twice now and the energy at the shows is indescribable and it's a fantastic experience. and they are pretty decent live.

so i like them. bug off.

in more relevant news, i'm getting tickets to mastodon/dillinger escape plan (will be my 2nd time seeing these bad boys)/the red fang for nov 1.
