The All-American Rejects - When The World Comes Down

I have to say when I first listened to this record I was pretty disappointed but lately it really grew on me and I find myself listening to it more and more.The songs a extremely catchy and the slow,emotional songs are great.This band is definately one of my favourite ones.Unfortunately I won't be able to go their Berlin show on the 3rd of February because I'm going to be in Austria snowboarding.Anyways I recommend that you check this CD out if you like fast,catchy pop-rock.My favourite songs are Gives You Hell,Another Heart Calls and Real World.

Mark Hoppus on MTV's Made

This Saturday, I’ll be on the MTV show “Made,” giving someone tips on playing the bass for their band’s upcoming battle of the bands competition. Given the fact that I taught myself how to play the instrument, and have terrible technique, I’m not sure that I helped the situation any, and if for some reason their band loses, the blame can be placed squarely on my shoulders. Anyway, tune in to cheer them on and watch the triumph or defeat.

I hope a recording of the episode will show up somewhere on the internet.Should be fun to see Mark cracking some jokes.

MTV EMA's 2009 in Berlin

Today it was announced that the next European Music Awards will be hold in Berlin.
They will take place in the O2 World and in front of the "Brandenburger Tor".
It's the 20th anniversary of the show which was first hold in Berlin in 1989.Of course 2009 also marks the 20th anniversary of the united Germany I live in today.

I hope I can get my hands on some tickets for the show.

Phantom Planet to go on indefinite hiatus

Yes aparently they will stop making music after on last show.
Here's a nice acoustic version of THE one song that everyone knows.

Mark Hoppus - Blink 182 news!

So this is pretty huge and unexpected news.Basically Mark posted a blog about the last two months.The beginning about the Lil Chris and Che is really sad.
Reading about Lunar Activities I'm almost 100% sure that +44 didn't start working on a new record and never will.But it sounds like a Blink 182 reunion isn't impossible.That would be really a great thing.

hello to you. it’s been a long time since i’ve posted anything here on the himynameismark site. i haven’t had it in me. these past two months have been the hardest times that i can remember, and i hope that we never see anything like this ever again. first losing our dear friend and longtime producer jerry finn, and then the plane crash that happened in september, taking our friends chris and che. even two months later, i still can’t believe what happened, and it’s too much to talk about. but let me say that i think about little chris every single day, and the world is not the same without him. he is one of the best people i’ve ever known. we travelled the world together, spending countless hours on busses and planes, in hotel lobbies and dressing rooms. we worked together, laughed, and played jokes on people. when i saw him in the studio, no matter if it were with blink-182, +44, or an unknown band i was producing, chris would walk right in, introduce himself, make some jokes, and make sure everyone was taken care of. he made everyone feel at home. like they were family. every person he met was a friend for life, and he could talk to anyone. it didn’t matter if it was the biggest star in the world or someone waiting to get into a show, little chris treated everyone as a friend. he was a dear friend to me. i’m so sad that he is not here right now. there are just no words.

i’m also so thankful that travis and DJ AM made it out of the plane that horrible night. travis is a brother to me, and since the crash he has gone through more than i can even imagine. from the day after the plane went down, when i saw him in the burn unit out in georgia, to the hospital here in LA, to seeing him at home, his recovery is nothing short of amazing. every day gets a little better. and not only is he my brother, but also the best drummer and musician i’ve ever seen. the man was born to play drums, and it is great to see him starting to get back into the studio and behind his kit.

as for me, i have been getting back to work as well. a couple of weeks ago i went into the studio with our lunar activities, to finish up their record. chris holmes and i recorded three more of their songs, and they are in the final mixing stage right now. then last week i went out to new york city to introduce all time low at the 2008 woodie awards for mtvu. the day i got back into town i went right into the studio with my friend richard gibbs, who scores films. he had a rough idea of a song for the movie he is currently working on, and he wanted me to come in and collaborate with him on it. we spent five straight days in the studio and came up with a really fun track for a movie called “fired up,” that comes out next year. it’s good to be singing again, and getting back into it. now this week chris holmes and i are working on a theme song for a tv show. today it passed the first round of approvals, and now it goes up to the big time producer people for their thoughts. hopefully it’ll be seen on a television near you very soon. check local listings.

in the midst of everything else that has happened lately, tom, travis, and i have all spoken together. first through a number of phone calls, and then a couple of weeks ago we all hung out for a few hours. they’ve all been great, very positive conversations. we’re just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking. it’s a good thing. obviously the first question for a lot of people will be “does this mean a blink-182 reunion?” the answer is none of us know. we haven’t talked about it at all. right now it’s just good for the three of us to see one another, reconnect, and let the past be the past. the events of the past two months supersede everything that happened before. life is too short.
