Mark Hoppus, bassist of blink-182, has posted quite a lengthy update regarding his current personal life, his TV show Hoppus On Music, blink-182's upcoming schedule and more, all on his Tumblr. Check it out below, but be warned, it's a long read.
tomorrow morning early the movers come to my home to pack up everything i'm taking in the move to london. a few of you have asked why london and how am i going to be able to continue working with blink-182 and the tv show. the answer to the second part is: i will never sleep. i'll be traveling back and forth to new york to tape the show, and flying out to wherever blink-182 has concerts, press, video shoots, etc. or if tom needs a hug. or if travis needs a partner for mixed martial arts tournaments. a lot of you may not know that, while i may APPEAR soft, infirm, and a bit out of shape, i'm actually the pinnacle of virility, strength, and masculinity. ready to GO at the drop of a hat. yeah, i'm kind of a bad ass. but i don't like to be showy about it. as for why move to london, there's no one real answer. i just want to check out the uk for a bit. i've lived in and loved southern california for most of my life, and want to try a change. i want to know what it's REALLY like to live the european experience. by completely immersing myself into a foreign culture. jump in feet-first. i want to go to YOUR starbucks, to wear YOUR ed hardy t-shirts, and to ride rides at YOUR disneyland paris. i want to open my mind to a whole new world. i want to be jasmine, and the uk and greater european continent to be alladin, and the eurorail will be our magic carpet and we'll fly high above the landscape opening up beneath us… “a whole new world (don't you dare close your eyes…)” got a bit off travk there, sorry. the uk rules, and from there we can check out places in europe and scandinavia, etc. also, i like tea. and crumpets. but i gotta be honest, the sport of cricket completely defies me.authentic gucci shoes will have this number hidden on the inside of the shoe.shopforcoachshoes for sale to men with low price and top quality. any game that takes days to decide is beyond my capacity for caring. it takes all the patience and determination i possess to watch a 90 minute football match that ends in a 0-0 draw, and not launch something blunt and weighty into one of the 60” flatscreen tvs that hang on every wall of my sprawling mansion. interesting side note: aside from clothes, the amount of “stuff” i'm bringing with me overseas and on tour, the NECESSITIES of my very existence, objects with which i would be completely unable to function, all fit into two small boxes. and a pro-tools rig and some guitar cases.
tomorrow morning after the movers leave, we have interviews. mostly about the tour. but inevitably and expectedly also about the album. what does it sound like? how many songs? what direction did you take as a band? why does mark look like he's slowly metamorphosing into jane lynch from glee? all valid and important questions, to be sure. but also questions for which we don't have all the answers yet. we're still in the thick of it. as i sit on this plane somewhere over pennsylvania, travis is in los angeles tracking drums, and tom is in san diego tracking guitars and vocals. i'll be working on the songs again tomorrow after the interviews, and on and on until the album is due at the end of july. what DOES it sound like? i can't tell you. personally, i am at the point where i can't truly see it for what it is anymore. objectivity left a long time ago.Many times, authentic louis vuitton shoes will have handles made out of genuine rolled cowhide. i CAN say that some of the best songs for the record have been written in the past month. songs with energy and angst, and hooks and great melodies. the original absence of there songs is the reason why we had to cancel the UK/European dates. and also why, even as GIANT a bum-out as it was and continues to be, it was the right thing to do. the album is much the better for having the extra time, and we have the UK and Europe to thank for it. so thank you, and apologies again.
our single is due to be delivered to the label in two weeks. as of now, i think we have four strong contenders for “first single.” this is one the most exciting and stressful times of any recording process. the part where you commit. no more “we'll put this in and see how it works…” we are all forced to make the decisions that will ultimately solidify whatever this new album will become, and will always be. good or bad, right or wrong, the die is about to be cast. the deadline is approaching. july 31st will be here sooner then any of us realize, and a few weeks after that it will be on the shelves (or on the websites where you can purchase and hold it in a cloud) and finally everyone can hear it, decide for themselves, and we can all stop talking about when the record will be released or what it sounds like.nikeshox clothing and wholesale urban wear apparel for all major brand names. we can start talking about what we think of the final master. at that point, the album will be what it is and take on its own life. all of our ideas and work and songs will be like little birds, leaving the nest for the first time. some will soar to amazing heights, some may fall short and struggle to take flight, and some may grow bright yellow and grotesquely large and live on a street with a green monster who lives in a trash can. i think i'm going to like our new little record. i hope you do,Buy lovingjeans of high quality and low price now and get fast shipping to you within one week. too.
