Daily Music Dose: 3OH!3
This electronic/rock/hip hop duo is highly recommended by our own SamTheSickestKid and for good reason: they’re unique, they’re fun, and they have a ridiculously entertaining live show. Come on; you know you want to check them out!
What’s Going On With Blink 182?
We know they’re back to bonding like the three amigos we knew them as. We know that a tour will be happening this summer. All that is magnificent, but what are the little happenings in between explosive Blink announcements?
Supjustin posted a scan of their recent Rolling Stone article, which ends with The Academy Is… singer/beanpole William Beckett saying that when he found out the band was getting back together, he was “losing my mind on my blog.”
That must be a special kind of losing your mind.
There was some drama between Mark Hoppus and a Spin Mag blogger who said said the band should be given an economic stimulus package so they wouldn’t have to reunite and make a crappy album. Hoppus, being the omniscent wisecracker that he is, responded by saying “Come on, one subpar album? More like “SEVERAL TERRIBLY subpar albums…”
The blogger replied again, saying she got this impression because of how terrified/awkward/unstoked they looked at the Grammy’s. Mark responded to THAT by explaining the pre-stage fiasco that almost got them pulled from presenting that night.
See? This is good communication in action. If that were a therapy sesh, I would nod and say, “Well, glad we made some progress here.”
The Hoppus is also on Twitter for all you tweeters. So is the band, but like, they don’t update.
Did I miss anything?
I wonder who they’ll go on tour with…
AFI Update
Your resident AFI expert Mark Oshiro is currently flying on an airplane high up in the sky, so I’ll be providing you with today’s AFI update.
First, take a look at the new logo for the album they’re working on right now, Crash Love.
I dig that font. I do.
