guest_books_marchoppusMore talk about the coming Blink 182 album – their first since the self-titled release in 2003.  This time MTV caught up with Mark Hoppus in an attempt to extract something headline tag worthy around the highly anticipated new album, which may or may not hit stores in 2010.  Many things are said, and you can read it all here, but the gist of it can be summed up in this quote:

Everybody listens to such different stuff. Tom is really into, like, ’80s stadium rock; huge, monumental ’80s rock bands. Travis is all over the place, musically, and he always comes up with beats and drum parts that are so way out that I would never think of them,” Hoppus said. “And I’ve just been listening to a lot of weird indie rock. So somewhere between amazing hip-hop beats, stadium rock and indie rock, you’ll find Blink…. There’s your pull quote: Mark Hoppus says ‘We want to be weird on this record.’ “
