Tom said on Modlife yesterday that blink will be recording soon, and there will be no real blink song on Travis’ Solo Album that’s due in June:

From Spin.com:

Tom DeLonge is leading a double life.

The music world knows him as the perennially teenaged guitarist and vocalist of reunited pop-punk trio Blink-182, also featuring his longtime pals Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker. But in his spare time, he’s spending more and more time in a place you wouldn’t expect a guy with an arsenal of dick jokes to go: the boardroom.

Recently, DeLonge, 34, has been using words like “user-experience” and “monetize” to present his new company Modlife, a website that helps musicians control and profit from their image and merchandise while releasing their music for free.

“People just assume I’m some dumb punk rock kid running around naked,” he tells SPIN.

Hardly. And the latest release from DeLonge’s space-rock quartet Angels & Airwaves — a movie and album called LOVE — is Modlife’s key selling point. Modlife is helping the album (released for free on Valentine’s Day) recoup the $500,000 spent on its production, plus a portion of millions shelled out for LOVE the movie — a sci-fi epic to be released theatrically later this year. LOVE’s concept is also an uncharacteristic venture for DeLonge. Rather than the playful lyrics of Blink, DeLonge is going deep, exploring love, emotion, and human interaction and connection. (more…)

From entertainmentweekly.com:

Tom DeLonge is a busy guy. Last night around nine, the singer-guitarist (pictured, one from right) helped finalize the track sequencing for LOVE, the album that his band Angels & Airwaves will release online for free this Sunday, Feb. 14, as a complimentary Valentine’s Day gift to fans. This morning, he met with his other band, blink-182, which reunited for a 2009 tour after a four-year split, to talk about their plans. After that, he rushed off to meet with a few potential partners to secure a theatrical release for the sci-fi film, also titled LOVE, that Angels & Airwaves oversaw to accompany their album. (Trailers are viewable at Apple and the band’s website.) Oh yeah, and DeLonge also plans to “fix the music industry” via Modlife, the website he owns. The Music Mix got him on the phone to hear about all the items crowding his schedule. (more…)

Backstage With Blink-182: Watch Tom DeLonge Live From His Dressing Room

Blink-182’s Tom DeLonge knows every good interview starts at a urinal, so that’s precisely where he begins his tour of his dressing room backstage at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The trio — DeLonge, singer/bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker — hit up the city’s legendary venue this weekend with Fall Out Boy and gave the latter’s bassist Pete Wentz a haircut he’ll always remember. “This is the death of the emo swoosh,” Wentz tweeted after becoming “more aerodynamic.”

Check out Blink-182’s Rock Show: photos of the band onstage and off.

But before Blink hit the stage and busted out the clippers, DeLonge lounged with pals, limbered up and listened to the Cure. See for yourself, by watching the footage he was kind enough to shoot by himself with a Flip video camera, above. And if you’re looking for shots from the band’s stage show, don’t miss our gallery from their opening night gig in Vegas.

Tom tweeted:

I am gonna broadcast tonight at 6:15 PT live from backstage at the Blink concert at AngelsandAirwaves.com…thats why modlife rules!!!

Frontman, guitarist, producer, songwriter, businessman—these are some of the many hats that musician Tom DeLonge has worn throughout his past dozen-plus years in the music scene, whether as the on-stage co-lead to bassist Mark Hoppus in platinum pop-punk powerhouse Blink-182 or as the sole frontman of the more experimental, alternative rock act Angels and Airwaves. Or perhaps it’s as the head of Macbeth Shoes or the visionary behind the social networking website Modlife. No matter which angle he’s viewed from, DeLonge’s years in both the underground and mainstream circuits have found him delivering interesting and important perspectives on the ever-changing entertainment industry, specifically in terms of tastes, technologies and traditions (more…)

From HitFix.com:

Reunited and it feels so good. Sure, Peaches & Herb sang the line first, but it equally applies to the members of Blink-182. After a five-year, somewhat acrimonious, hiatus, the perpetually adolescent punk band decided to reunite for an amphitheater tour this summer. Hitfix caught up with vocalist/guitarist Tom DeLonge just before the start of the outing, which concludes Oct. 4 at New York’s Madison Square Garden (although there are rumors of European dates to follow).

As famous for their high-school level hijinks on stage as such hits as “What’s My Age Again,” “All the Small Things” and “The Rock Show,” DeLonge, bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker have been garnering some of the biggest audiences-and the best reviews-of their career this summer. DeLonge discussed anxiety, when we’ll get a new Blink album, and, of all things, insurance with Hitfix.

Interview With Tom DeLonge of blink-182: Older, But Still Not Grown Up

—by Patrick Slevin, August 20, 2009

Four years had passed since Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker shared a stage together, but at this year’s Grammy Awards, the members of blink-182 stood together and announced they’d be playing music together again. The trio that had acrimoniously disbanded following the abrupt resignation of DeLonge began communicating again in the wake of a plane accident involving Barker. A breakup became a reunion.

Of course, all three had moved on to different projects in the interim, most notably Angels & Airwaves, headed by DeLonge and +44, featuring Hoppus and Barker. But Hoppus has done production work for a myriad of bands, Barker has been working on hip-hop projects with DJ AM, and DeLonge has been something of an investor-creative director in Macbeth, a shoe company, and Modlife, a web venture for bands.

Now, with all their previous commitments on the side, the band few thought would tour again have embarked on a jaunt throughout the U.S. with Weezer and Taking Back Sunday, in what has quickly become one of the best-selling tours in the worst economy in decades. DeLonge explains.
