Mark Hoppus Video Interview

Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 talked with Rock Sound about recording The Mark Tom and Travis Show. Good timing.

I love the way that it turned out though. We recorded the entire tour onto Digital Audio Tape and at the end of the tour somebody went back and listened to all of the banter that Tom and I did and put together that 15 minutes at the end of the album. The worst, most obscene, foul-language. On that tour me and Tom were really trying to see who could outdo the other and say the most ridiculous thing on stage. I’m glad it’s preserved for posterity now.

Super Whatevr Explains Mark Hoppus Collab

Skyler McKee of Super Whatevr talked with Rock Sound about how the Mark Hoppus collaboration came about.

I tweeted in response to one of his tweets. I was just like ‘We should make a song’ and he was like ‘OK, hit my DMs’. Then the next thing I know I’m driving to get…I thought we were getting coffee but we got matcha. Then we drove to his little home studio and made a cool thing. It literally just happened.

”We were going to have two days but we ended up having one because his wife planned something for his birthday. So we had one day and I was like ‘I need the song to be done’. So I brought half the chorus and was just hellbent on finishing in that day. A lot of them were rough takes but we made it work.

Musicians and Guitar Center Dump Fulltone

Mark Hoppus, Jason Isbell, and many other musicians are boycotting Fulltone pedals after the company’s founder showed his whole ass on social media:

”What is this like night 4 of looting with 100% impunity. The p—- Mayor and Governor don’t give a s— about small businesses, and it’s never been more clear,” he wrote in a since-deleted post, adding a comment, “Ahh I feel better, and flushed out some prissy boys who were raised to pee sitting down. Now I’ll delete.”

After a Fullton user complained to the company’s email address, Fuller himself responded with an equally hostile tone as his original post. “I am begging you to sell your pedals because you actually don’t deserve them,” a screenshot of the email posted to a fanpage reads. “You are actually so racist that you believe the Good people who are protesting are the same as the Organized gang banger criminals who are looting ‘storefronts.’ Those ‘storefronts’ are good hardworking people’s lives and livelihoods. I’m fact if I see you with a Fulltone pedal I will tag it and break into your house and loot it from you, because it’s my free expression to do so… right?”

Mark Hoppus Shares Unreleased The Cars Cover

Mark Hoppus has shared an unreleased cover of The Cars’ “Just What I Needed” on Soundcloud. It included the following message:

A couple years ago, I was asked to record a creepy cover of Just What I Needed for a tv show. They wanted moody and strange, dark, and drony, with space for dialogue to go over it. I went into the studio with my friend James Ingram and this is what we came up with. The show was cancelled so quickly the episode never aired, but if you can imagine a grim and grizzled detective determinedly working a murder case that shook them to the very core of their being, this is the music the show requested. It’s been sitting on a hard drive ever since, and with the sad news of Ric Ocasek’s passing, I thought I’d put it up here. Enjoy it. And go listen to The Cars.
