Mark posted on Facebook:

Spent all day working on the blink-182 album, then talked on the phone with Tom tonight for the better part of an hour about the record and upcoming tour. Tomorrow more rehearsals.

From AltPress.com:

At this point, it’s safe to say that Mark Hoppus is a human dynamo. Best known for his role in potty mouthed pop-punk trio Blink-182, the 38-year-old is more than just a mere bassist, having juggled production duties, podcasts, high-profile collaborations and more in recent years. His newest endeavor? A Different Spin With Mark Hoppus, a weekly, hour-long program hosted by its namesake airing on Fuse starting this September. We caught up with Hoppus to get the scoop on what his new venture is all about, as well as get an update on whether or not we’ll hear new Blink music before the world ends in 2012. (more…)

From All Time Low’s Interview with AbsolutePunk:

What about the song that you did with Mark Hoppus not too long ago, what’s up with that? Is it going to be on the new record?

No, not on our record. It is going on a record though, I’m proud to say. Mark has a project with some friends of his; the band is called City Comma State. I don’t know how much I should announce, but I went back and did some more work on the song with Mark and actually worked on another song with Mark and I think both of those songs are going to be used for that project. It’s exciting, the band seems like it’s going to be really cool. It’s flattering to even have him approach me to use a song we did together on something he’s involved with. I’m really, really pumped for it.

From Mark’s blog:

new york, you are always nothing short of amazing. great week in NYC beginning to put together A Different Spin. press conference, meetings, writers, producers, co-hosts, etc. everyone on the crew is super cool, smart, and funny. we’ve only done a couple of practice run-throughs of ideas, and my face still hurts from laughing so much. good times. we’re very excited to start putting this tv show together…

and now i’m back in the fine city of los angeles! tomorrow is made for sleeping, and then monday the blink-182’s are back to it!! i can’t wait for the three of us to all be in the same room playing music again. it’s been WAYYYY too long. rehearsals, ideas for new songs, set lists, and general tomfoolery. awesome.

From HiMyNameisMark.com:

Lots going on in the world of blink-182 lately. There’ve been announcements, side projects, tours, tv shows, etc. I think some people are confused as to what’s really happening, and I wanted to take a second to set it all straight and put rumors and hearsay to rest.

So here it is: blink-182 is full steam ahead!!

Mark tweeted:

Humans: NOBODY said the announcement was a new song. We’re only playing 1 show in North America this yr cuz we’re recording the new album.

Hopefully Mark will clear things up further when he’s on KROQ tomorrow.

According to a recent tweet by Stryker (DJ for KROQ) Mark will be on KROQ to clear things up. Looks like Mark has taken notice that people were disappointed, A LOT of people were disappointed.

Stryker tweeted:

Hey you crazy (gerat and dedicated) BLINK 182 fans..I will have @MarkHoppus on tomorrow between 530 and 6pm on #KROQ.

From FMQB.com:

The Fuse music television network is set to announce a brand new weekly music show hosted byMark Hoppus of Blink 182.

Very exciting!”
