Best news I have heard all day!

Mark Hoppus of +44 and Blink 182 updated his blog yesterday and wrote a lot about what he has been up too and also an update on Travis. He also mentions this:

"In the midst of everything else that has happened lately, tom, travis, and i have all spoken together. first through a number of phone calls, and then a couple of weeks ago we all hung out for a few hours. they’ve all been great, very positive conversations. we’re just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking. it’s a good thing. obviously the first question for a lot of people will be “does this mean a blink-182 reunion?” the answer is none of us know. we haven’t talked about it at all. right now it’s just good for the three of us to see one another, reconnect, and let the past be the past. the events of the past two months supersede everything that happened before. life is too short."

True words spoken! I am really glad that they are all talking again. :)

Favourite songs on Guitar Hero, by Travis Barker

From Entertainment Weekly:

LINK

Skins pounder supreme Travis Barker (blink-182, +44) says Guitar Hero's drums are the real deal. ''I was playing my own songs, and I would get perfect [scores], because you're really learning how to play drums!'' Barker recommends five headbanging classics from Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock — plus one blink-182 song from the new Guitar Hero World Tour, in which he became a featured character by recording his moves with motion-capture technology.


"Sabotage" by Beastie Boys: "Sabotage is super cool. My ex-wife Shanna and I play it together. It's fun because it's a song we both know so well."

"Paranoid" by Black Sabbath: "My oldest daughter Atiana plays it with my ex-wife and loves it. My 9-year-old daughter knows Black Sabbath now!"


"Raining Blood" by Slayer: "My daughter is scared of it, but I love playing 'Raining Blood.' It's really hard, and I'm not good or anything. I play at the beginner level."

"School's Out" by Alice Cooper: "Not surprisingly, this is a favorite amongst the kids."

"Talk Dirty To Me" by Poison: "Unfortunately, this is also one of my kids' favorites. It's easy on guitar, that's why they play it, but it's a little too much information for their age."

BLINK-182, ''DAMMIT''
''I had to wear a spandex suit with balls all over it and these funny glasses, and they copy every motion. It's super cool. And 'Dammit' is kinda hard to play: It's really fast eighth notes with the right hand.''

MTV VMAs

The 2008 MTV VMAs are on tonight in the US. Early Monday morning for me. Zzzzz! :D

The one thing i'm looking forward to is Travis Barker and DJ-AM's performance. According to the MTV offical blog, they will perform with Katy Perry! I'm not really a big fan of her. I don't like "I Kissed A Girl" maybe because its been played a million times and probably a massive hit in clubs everywhere. Apparently she is going to be doing a cover of "Like A Virgin" and hopefully Travis will drum harder to drone her out?! Hahaha I'm a little weary when artists cover massive artists songs. I love Madonna! I always get a little skeptical whenever someone covers her songs. On the other hand it must be really cool to be Madonna and get paid everytime someone covers your song. Madonna is probably over here in England and doesn't even have to show her face and her song is going to be played at one of the biggest music events.

However listening to Travis and DJ-AM's music and downloading some of their music they do AWESOME mixes and so I am looking forward to this performance by Katy Perry.

Travis Barker has paired up with DJ-AM to make some awesome music. I've been listening to their music today and it's really cool! I can't wait for their album.

Check out their new song "Fix Your Face", you will be playing that song more than once I guarantee it!
