“Exciting” News From Blink 182!
So what does Mark Hoppus, the barely-tattooed bass player for Blink 182, do with his free time while Travis and Tom are getting all inked up?
Tease us with cryptic announcements, that’s what! If you love his band like I do you’ll wanna click on through to the other side to find out more and why you now have plans for this Monday at 5pm!
Mark is one of my three favorite members of Blink 182 and we’ve been lucky enough to have him on the Kevin & Bean show many times over the past 15 years. He never fails to crack me up and he’s one of the nicest guys in the business.
Here’s what Mark posted on his website today:
“This Monday, June 21st at 5PM Pacific Time, you can hear an announcement on KROQ 106.7FM regarding something big. I’m not going to say what it is exactly, but a possible anagram is “bee hooting twinkly.” You can also listen in on KROQ.com. Very exciting!!”
I think I know what it is and I think you’ll be very happy with the announcement.
Tune on in and tell Stryker I said, “Who are you?”

Bean, for the first time in my life, I’m looking forward to/for Monday.

download Hotspot Shield Launch. It changes your IP address so you can access regionalized content (aka KROQ Radio)

Mark
June 20, 2010 7:03 am
Bee Hooting Twinkly is an anagram of Blink One Eighty Two
Jon Smith
June 20, 2010 11:19 am
The anagram spells blink one eighty two if you rearrange the letters.!

Rudy Garibay
June 20, 2010 2:45 pm
From what I heard from a buddy of mine that is playing the Epicenter 2010 this year…..Eminem and Blink 182 are headlining which is pretty gay considering last years line up that was headlined by TOOL

What a joke if f*cking blink is headlining epicenter, such a dissapointment
Robster
June 21, 2010 2:52 pm
It’s about time they release their new single. It’s taking ages!
I’m kinda disappointed they didn’t actually “tour” Europe this summer, they just played in random summer festivals.
A ver si sacan el album de una puta vez, da la impresión que blink182 no es su prioridad en este momento y me temo que el resultado va a ser un cd regular que nos va a decepcionar a todos. Espero equivocarme.

Well if Mark says okay…
He posted this on twitter:
The new eminem record is so smart, heavy, raw, and honest I sat down and listened to it twice in a row to hear every lyric.
SO HE IS GONNA TALK!!!
Still hope for a big announcement!

If it was just an announcement about the Epicenter gig, then why are they advertising it as an exciting Blink announcement? Its not like they’re the only band playing. I’m trying not to lose hope…

Karla
June 21, 2010 5:59 pm
The “big announcement” was blink’s playing at Epicenter. Mark hasn’t even said one word.
The world premire song was a Bush song.
Keep praying, guys.
Though I’m getting pissed.

Stryker’s gonna have Mark on air (over the phone) today 5:30 to 6 pm to clear things up for us die hard blink fans.
There was a lot of hate going on to Mark, Bush, and Stryker. They were even telling Stryker that they were gonna commit suicide if he didn’t play the Up All Night.
So to clear things up Mark’s gonna talk to tonight.
