We spend most of this episode talking about everything that went down this week in the Blink-182 camp. We look at what news broke, our first reaction to it, what we think of how it all came out, how we think this will impact the band's legacy, what we think the band should (or will) do next, and so much more. We also touch a little on Acceptance's reunion at Skate and Surf and Drew's thoughts on the new Fall Out Boy album which he'll be reviewing early next week. And if you didn't think the universe had a sense of humor: please explain how our episode numbers worked out for this to be our Blink-182 centric episode? Well played universe, well played.

We touched on two main topics this week: When someone recommends a band to us, how do we dive into their catalog? Newest release first? Oldest? Their most popular? If a band has a big catalog, is it a deterrent from trying to get into the band? After that we spend a little time touching on what happens when you grow up and no longer can relate to music you may have loved in the past? Not only that, but what happens when you actively disagree with lyrical themes in your present that your past self may have liked? Can you still listen to the music? Should you? This leads into a bit of discussion on the contentious topic of art vs artist and the impact lyrics can have on your mind. I thought this episode ended up being a really interesting one that probably raises more questions than it answers -- but it sure was fun to think about.

Have you heard about the new service "VNYL"? If you haven't ... you're about to. This week's episode discusses this new Kickstarter backed company in detail. We also touch on a few other albums we're anticipating in 2015 that we missed last week, a topic that leads us into talking about reunions and all the albums that came out in 2005 that may be up for a ten year tour this year. We talk about some of our favorites, some of our wishes, and the year that was defined by Fueled by Ramen Records. We finish up the episode talking about the new All Time Low song and their marketing plan and the potential success of the upcoming record. Oh, and horses. We also talk about horses.

This week's topics include our feelings on the staff "best of" list and how that all came together. We also take a look at our own personal lists and what made those lists and what was left off -- we discuss a few of the albums at random and look at the most surprising inclusions. Then we talk a little bit about why some of the albums on our lists weren't talked about much during the year and then ended up being in the top tier. We finish up talking about our most anticipated albums for this year (a topic where we're now allowed to mention Brand New) and we speculate on All Time Low's career moves in the next few months.

We recorded a special "AMA" episode that goes through a whole bunch of questions asked to us either on the website or Twitter (using the #AskAP hashtag). We want to say thanks to everyone that asked us any questions, we'll definitely be doing this again in the future -- so if you have feedback, let us know! Thank you to everyone that listened or gave this podcast a try this year, I think I speak for all three of the hosts when I say that it really means a lot that you took some time to let us rant in your ears. I want to wish everyone a great and safe holiday. - Jason
