From MTV.com:

Mark Hoppus has heard all the talk about the Blink-182 album not coming out until 2011, and he’s determined not to let that happen.

It all started earlier this week, when he tweeted, “2011 is too far away. Gonna do all I can to have a Blink-182 album in 2010.” And when MTV News caught up with him Thursday night in Los Angeles, he laid out how he plans to finish the album, which has been in the works for more than a year now. As it turns out, the first step is just getting everyone together in the same room.

“We did a bunch of writing before we left on this tour, then we came home and decided we were going to take a couple of months and chill and do other stuff, then get back together in the beginning of the year,” Hoppus said. “And now that it’s almost February, we decided it’s time to get back in the studio and do what we do. So that’s the plan: just get back together and get to work.” (more…)
