    Nope.

    Don't want to hear a single note until the band decides I'm ready to hear it to be honest

    At the studio. The song I started writing yesterday is evolving into a fast, punk-rock jam in the vein of old blink-182. Super excited about this one!! Tracking guitars for it now. This guitar here is the best ever for tight, punchy, distorted tracks. Fender Tele Jr. Suggested and used by our longtime friend and producer Jerry Finn.

    I know some of you are saying that you wouldnt want to hear anything,
    But tom plays about 7 seconds of something in this video at 4.50.

    It sounds quite
    electronically and
    nearer the last second of the snip he plays you can hear a more familiar blink bass sound creeping in.

    Guys give it a listen, it would kill any anticipation you have for the album in the slightest.

    Infact its made me think more about what its going to sound like in the overall sense.

    Anyway heres the link. If you dare :P

    yeah i thought that too, its not enough to gauge any kind of definite opinion on it i think.
    As tom said, its out of context to the whole thing so i trust him on that.

    That clip really reminds me of the song "Obvious" from the last Blink record. Anyone agree?

    Oh, and by the way, I hate you all for forcing me to watch that ;)

    Mark's doing a live Q&A on Billboard at 4PM EST which I believe is about 9PM GMT.

    Wonder is he freaked out about his receding hairline or something.
    His hair just seems to be disappearing or something. Like if you look at the everythings magic vid he doesn't look too bad. Quite good actually. ;)

    He probably believes that musical ideas are best channelled through a beanie hat, and that it will help them make a good album..

    I’ve been seriously remiss these past couple of
    weeks in keeping up with the studio updates. Apologies for that. The
    good news is that it’s because we’ve been busy with new songs and
    ideas, and some tracks are very near complete. In rough terms, I’d say
    we’re working with the better part of ten or so songs at this point.
    There’s still a long to way to go before the album is done, but
    already it seems like the songs are both taking a step even further
    than we took on the last album, while also going back to the sound of
    some of the earlier albums. And the ideas keep coming. Yesterday I
    worked on the basics of an uptempo, catchy progression; kind of in the
    vein of Wendy Clear or Going Away to College. We’ll see how it comes
    together… The Americana, country-type song that I’ve written about
    before is now in its third incarnation, and I think it gets better with
    every change. Can’t wait till Travis plays drums on it and it goes to
    a whole different level. One track that is pretty much done is an idea
    that Tom started, and we added a bunch of stuff, changed some things,
    and then Travis put down a beat that blew the doors off the whole
    thing. SO GOOD!! I guess it’s really pointless to WRITE about
    creating music, you’ll hear it for yourselves soon enough and make your
    own judgements. Suffice it to say that we’re well on our way and all
    very excited.
    Today we did a photo shoot at the studio with our friend Lisa
    Johnson for an upcoming piece in Kerrang magazine, I tracked some bass,
    and we worked on the arrangement of one of the songs.
    And finally, the best news in this post. We have a date for the
    completion of the album. We want to deliver the record in April or
    May, for release very soon afterward. That’s our goal. That’s what
    we’re all working toward. That being said, the only thing more
    important to us than getting the record out in that time is getting a
    GREAT record out. If it isn’t absolutely ready at that point, we’ll
    keep working until it is. But that’s the plan. Everything is starting
    to coalesce, and it’s very exciting to begin the next chapter of
    blink-182.

    Anyone have any idea if AvA are gonna come to Dublin/Belfast in their tour in February? They're only bloody announcing a few dates at a time every couple of days.

    Planning on heading to Glasgow if they dont. :(

    They announced a show in Luxembourg the other day.
    If they are playing there they sure as hell might as well play over here

    I'd put a bet on it they did.

    Let's say it like this, blink played to an easily 12,000 in august and even if only 1/3 of them (4,000) would be willing to see Ava, that's enough to pack out the Olympia/academy/tripod?

    Let's just hope they use the same logic.:)

    Not to mention the AvA fans that won't just because because it's a Blink (well, Tom) side project.

    They could easily sell out one of the smaller venues.

    European tour has been announced.
    So far only england shows, but mark has said it is an arena tour only.

    And obviously that they only done festivals in august. (apart from us and scotland of course)

    Blink will be back here in some capacity this summer, surely? I know most bands try to please the home crowd but they definitely said that they would come back as soon as possible. :o

    Did they not say something like "See ya next year, mother****ers!" at the end of the August gig?

    Something like that, anyways.. :p
