three songs!
i didn't finish the podcast yesterday. i wanted to. i meant to. i just
didn't. i'm sorry. i didn't mean to hurt you. it'll better for all of us in the
long run if we can accept this for what it is - our first wednesday release -
and move one. moving on... the good news is the reason i didn't finish the
podcast yesterday is because we have been (+44)'ing this week till the wheels
fall off. very good things are going on here in the studio.
this podcast is amazing. well, it's very good. pretty good. or terrible.
somewhere in that range. the amazing parts are the songs by alkaline trio, small
towns burn a little shower and houston calls. the terrible part is where i talk
quite a lot through the whole thing. and i rule. sometimes. other times i suck
or am kind of average. you get all of these things and more on this podcast.
today, by the way, has been a great day. we're working on a track that we have
tentatively titled weatherman, though that title will soon change. i've been
working out a few melodies, harmonies, etc... i'm also waiting for my coffee. i
ordered a cappuccino. i hope it comes soon. i gotta go, travis is about to play
drums.
may the force be with you.

DeLonge regroups with A & A
TORONTO - Tom DeLonge torn and frayed would be no surprise. So, when the
ex-frontman for California punk-rock sensations Blink-182 blew through town last
week to unveil his new band, Angels & Airwaves, and play a sold-out gig at the
Phoenix Concert Theatre, he caused onlookers to do a double-take when he showed
up at The Brasserie in Toronto's entertainment district garbed in a chic,
chocolate coloured ensemble, complete with Fly-era Bono sunglasses, and hair
that was neatly gelled and parted to one side.
The way guitarist David Kennedy looks at it goes like this. Early last year,
with Blink's future in doubt, DeLonge was at a crossroads. "When everything went
off with Tom and his last band, he gave me a call," says Kennedy, who was the
guitarist in DeLonge and Blink drummer Travis Barker's other side project, Box
Car Racer. "We just started talking about life, trying to figure out what to do
and where to go. We wanted to be in a healthy environment, a creative
environment and a drama, ego-free environment.
"At the time I had gone through a lot of stuff with a different band and I
decided I didn't want to make music if I couldn't do it exactly the way I wanted
to do it. And having the same values, the same goals and the same agenda as Tom,
it seemed like this would be a healthy, exciting environment to get involved
with."
The pair having been friends since high school, Kennedy suggested the
30-year-old singer-songwriter give a call to ex-Distillers bassist, Ryan Sinn.
Having played in the same circles as DeLonge and Kennedy, fellow Californian,
Atom Willard (drummer for the Offspring), was offered a spot behind the drum
kit.
With Blink lying in tatters, Angels & Airwaves were born.
Moving production to Never Pants Ranch and the Foo Fighters' Studio 606, DeLonge
and his new associates began recording the group's debut - "We Don't Need To
Whisper" - in mid-2005. But having already conquered the worlds of pop and punk
(Blink has sold in excess of 20 million records worldwide, won an array of MTV
awards and sold out arenas across the globe), the quartet wanted A & A to be
anything but a rehashing of the million-riffs-per-second DeLonge had already
proven he could play.
"As much as I might have liked Blink, I could've never played in that band,"
Kennedy says, sipping from a cup of Orange Pekoe. "That didn't speak to me.
That's not my silly kind of personality. Now, instead of being one thing, we can
be what everyone is, which is humorous, which is serious, which is dramatic. The
emotions everyone goes through in their everyday life, we can be all of that."
Gazing down on the late-afternoon lunch crowd seated below, Willard nods in
agreement. "That's the beauty of being in a new band. People aren't going to be
saying, 'I can't wait to go to the show tonight and laugh.' Some nights Tom can
be serious and I can guarantee you he's going to say some shit that's going to
make you think. So it's nice not to have those preconceived ideas. Whatever we
want to be, we can be."
It was understood that if the foursome were going to take part in creating
something new and completely different from what their fans were used to, A & A
could and would frolic amidst a variety of sounds.
Whether it's the way they emote "Do It For Me Now," which takes on the same
grandeur of Pink Floyd sans Roger Waters, the way they swoop through arena-ready
songs like "Distraction" and "The War," or the way they let Larry Mullen-like
drums and Edge-sounding guitars unfold on "Valkyrie Missile," A and A's debut
trades Blink's punk-friendly sounds for epic rock stylings that mine the same
terrain as U2 and Queen.
"The music was more than the tempo or the notes," Willard says. "It's about this
feeling that it evokes."
Kennedy sets his cup down on the table alongside an ornate teapot before
settling back into the bar's expansive couch. "We've already done what we've
done before," he allows matter-of-factly. "But at this point, we all wanted to
do something that spoke to where we were at personally. If we were going to do
music, we were all like, 'I don't want to do something I've already done.' A lot
of music right now is rehashing a lot of older stuff. Not that that's bad, but I
just wanted to be part of creating something new."
"Nobody in this band is trying to deny anybody's past," he continues. "Everyone's
excited and proud of what we've done. But we're coming from there," he says
pointing across the room, "and this is where we're going," his hands now planted
firmly at his side. "That's really what this all is."
Willard slouches back, his head and tattooed arms basking in the early afternoon
sun. "Here was an opportunity to do something with people who were all so
likeminded from the ground up," he says gesturing. "It was like the stars were
all perfectly aligned. With his musical past, I never would have looked at David
and gone, 'That guy's gonna like the same music I want to play.' But we all came
together in this one room and everything else just kind of washed away."
With the album having hit shelves, listeners (many of whom got a jump start on
the record's street date after songs were leaked onto the Internet) have kept an
open mind. "Hopefully, any anticipation of what we're going to sound like has
stemmed from what people have already heard or seen from the band. I'd like to
think that all the anticipation or lead-up has kind of been from what we've
already put out."
"I hope people aren't saying, 'Oh, here's these guys who were in other bands and
now they're in this new band. I wonder what they sound like.'"
Perhaps tired of having to qualify DeLonge's new project to a spate of anonymous
tape recorders, Willard says the record goes beyond anything any of them have
done before, uncovering emotional truths that will resonate decades from now.
Positivity, believing in yourself and going after your dreams narrate the
album's 10 tracks. "It's really about making yourself happy," Willard offers
with a smile. "What could be better with your life and how do you make that
better? These are the kinds of things we want people to ask themselves."
Kennedy knows that A & A have the blessing and curse that goes along with
already-made stardom. So, he'll put up with the band's political-style
campaigning as DeLonge weans Blink's fans to this new project. "It's pretty much
what you do when you want to start a rock band," he quips. "But it's only worth
it if it's going to be original. I'd rather be a failure, and be original, than
be successful and a copycat."
And though he likes DeLonge's adolescent antics as much as the next guy, Kennedy
feels invigorated by his new role in A and A. Laughing as he recounts how
DeLonge will still veer off into "some funny directions sometimes," the
guitarist says the group's message is the perfect antidote for apathy.
"Despite whatever situation you're in, tomorrow can still be the best day of
your life," he says seriously. "I like communicating the idea that I might not
be in a good mood now, but I'm going to be...even if I have to wait until next
week."
Angels & Airwaves will appear alongside Taking Back Sunday at the Molson
Amphitheatre in Toronto on July 5.

Tom DeLonge Chat

Thanks to Angels and Airwaves, Tom DeLonge’s
moved on from Blink 182
Angels and Airwaves' members didn't pick the band's moniker because its acronym,
AVA, is also the name of singer/guitarist Tom DeLonge's daughter. (For the
record: The "V" comes from the "A" in "and"-upside-down.) But it didn't hurt.
Nicknaming a rock band after a baby daughter? Sounds like the 30-year-old
guitarist of now-defunct Blink 182 is growing up. DeLonge says he hasn't spoken
to fellow former Blinkers Mark Hoppus or Travis Barker since the band's breakup.
But, despite his decision to quit and devote more time to his family, DeLonge
says he was "losing his mind" after doing so. But his latest project seems to
have cleared his head. Angels and Airwaves' debut album, "We Don't Need to
Whisper," delivers a gargantuan sound, and DeLonge is delighting in the
opportunity to speak-and sing-his mind, even rambling about politics in
interviews, something the Blink guys weren't too keen on.
While DeLonge scrambled to leave New York for a Philadelphia tour date, metromix
tried to understand what Angels and Airwaves means to him.
If you had a reality show like Travis' "Meet the Barkers," what would you
call it?
"Attention Deficit Disorder." "Wannabe Van Gogh." Some guy that's artistically
going crazy in his head.
I really, really almost lost my mind making this album. I had this thing inside
me, where I really felt this energy and saw this world, and I really had an
appetite to do something positive and wonderful with music, and to achieve it.
It's not easy. I had an intervention by my management. They sat me down and
they're like, "What is wrong with you?" I'm in my backyard, I've got tears in my
eyes, and I just go: "F**k! I can't sleep, I can't breathe, I'm having these
panic attacks because there's so much in my head that I want to get out."
And I looked at them and I said, "But this kind of craziness is exactly what's
going to make this record truly great, and I don't know how to describe it to
anybody."
The album's sound is so big, it seems like it's supposed to be listened to in
space.
I guess that was the only way it could sound for what I was going after. We
definitely went after this kind of a futurism, of an endless hope of space. No
one knows what's out there, and there's infinite possibility out there.
Too bad I wasn't able to travel to space to listen to it.
I promise you that if you smoke a joint and put some headphones on, you might
actually get there.
I'll keep that in mind. You've also said you're hoping to give people chills,
like John Cusack's boombox scene in "Say Anything."
Yeah, it's pretty much that kind of idea, absolutely. I think everyone has had
those moments where you're watching a movie or listening to a song, and the
right thing happens at the right moment, and you get those chills. This whole
record was about creating that feeling all the way through.
We all came from situations that we wish could have been better in their own
right. And we're all pretty sick of the way things have been in the world for
the past few years.
I think we're also at that age where we're becoming a little bit more socially
aware and politically conscious. I have my second kid on the way; my brother
fought in the war; my dad has leukemia; so it's like everywhere I turn, things
need to be better.
This whole record really is about this conflict and this tug of war between love
and war. If you're in a situation you don't want to be in, how to find a light
at the end of the tunnel.
How will you feel about your kids seeing you naked in a video [for Blink
182's "What's My Age Again?"]?
My daughter is three-and-a-half, and she does that already; she runs around
naked. Everyone just looks at her and goes, 'Dude, that's so your daughter.' If
you can make millions of dollars doing it, then you can.
So you're in favor of running around naked, as long as it's on TV?
As long as you're getting paid for it, then I absolutely support it.

Former Blink singer calls album 'beginning
of something completely new.'
Tom DeLonge isn't crazy. He's just super-psyched about his new band, Angels &
Airwaves.
And he doesn't care who knows it, which is why — on the day A&A's debut album,
We Don't Need to Whisper, hits stores — he's turned into a human
quote-machine, delivering head-scratching gems like this one:
"When we were making this record, I remember one night, it was about 2 a.m. and
I went into the studio — which was in my house — and it was pitch black and I
put the record on and listened to it, and I had this overwhelming rush of
emotions," he said. "I was like, 'Oh my God, this is going to be huge,' and I
started having these panic attacks thinking about every country in the world
wanting us there multiple times. Conquering the globe is a pretty large endeavor."
You can't blame the dude for being excited. After all, Whisper has been
an endeavor almost a year in the making, and in the time since he first
announced he was starting the record, he's been peppering the media with
statements of its sheer awesomeness. And now his fans will be able to have a
listen.
"People ask me, 'Is this the next Box Car Racer album?,' and I say, 'Kind of.'
And people ask me if this is the next Blink record, and I say, 'Kind of.' But
it's also the beginning of something completely new," DeLonge laughed. "This
band contains an inner energy and a spiritual awakening that's kind of magical.
And it's so full of positive energy that I think that whoever comes to the shows
or listens to the album and wants to become a part of it, it will happen to them.
I think it's going to be a sort of magical, organic thing that happens with
anybody that is willing to have that kind of feeling in their life."
A&A made their worldwide debut in April at the Glass House in Pomona,
California, and next month they'll launch an assault on the arenas of America
alongside Taking Back Sunday.
So what can fans expect when they come to an Angels show? Well, given that we're
asking Tom DeLonge, you probably can guess the answer.
"These shows have been incredible. ... They're so much different than Blink
shows," he said. "They're anthemic and heroic. There's a huge group of people
coming to feel the exact same thing at the exact same minute. And it really
feels like an ascension to heaven. People are lifting off the ground. There are
people crying, and there are these battle flags flying in the wind. It's
incredible."

we'd like to welcome a new member to the family here
at (+44). it is a 1994 tele jr guitar and oh dude does it ever rule. p-90
pickups perfect for distorted leads. it only arrived a week and a half ago and
already it has made its way into several tracks. the thing sounds huge. also, i
started reading a book called "wouldn't it be nice," about the making of the
beach boys "pet sounds" record. even though we are living in the computer age, i
hope you all still know what a record is. even though i shamefully don't own a
turntable. but i do have records. the prize of my collection is my original 12"
vinyl of "pac-man fever," complete with the poster showing the pattern of how
top successfully pass each level. try memorizing that! anyway, let's talk about
music some more...
the less than jake album came out today. go and buy it. the album is called IN
WITH THE OUT CROWD. we here at himynameismark love less than jake. and not just
because a certain song on the album - "the rest of my life" - is co-written by
the most charming, relatively tattoo-less member of (+44). check it out.
also in the world of new music, i got my hands on the new AFI record. we here at
himynameismark also love AFI. and not only because (+44) and AFI share producers.
they rule! and this album is sweet. it doesn't come out for another two weeks so
you'll have plenty of time to save up for it. that's less than a dollar a day!
think about it...
me, craig and shane are holding down the fort and i'm about to do some singing.
by the way, the bass sound yesterday ended up being more suited to "lettuce,"
the bass that i used on pretty much everything since enema of the state. "petey"
was sad, but he will see his day again soon. also, stay up and look for travis
playing drums tonight at the american country music awards. i think the awards
begin at 8pm est and he's part of the buck owens tribute. that’s all for now.

Zombie's macho rock didn't set the stage too well
for newcomers Angels & Airwaves, former Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge's new

oh man am i
hungry. i've been here at the studio since 8:30 this morning. (+44)'ing. singing
songs, writing stuff, hanging out with friends. doing what i do. and now i look
at the time and here it is 2:30 and we haven't eaten lunch yet. time flies when
you're having fun. daniel, travis's drum tech, suggested this new restaurant
that serves great sandwiches. or so he claims.
as i type this to all you fine people, food is en route from said restaurant to
our humble studio here in the heart of the city of angels. for myself, i ordered
a turkey sandwich with raclette cheese. seriously, i can't wait. i have no idea
what raclette cheese is, but that's what life is all about - new experiences.
here we are. seizing the day! discovering new things! eating sandwiches from a
shop we have never been to before! we really live every day to its fullest here.
the only thing is, i wish they had fries. it's one of those high end sandwich
shops that you get a salad with your sandwich and they don't ask you if you want
fries with that. a salad! a salad? what the hell... so bummed. why does the man
try and keep me down, keep me away from completing my delicious lunch? and, by
the way, they also don’t have any fountain drinks. i'm going to reach deep down
and find the strength to get through this. i'll be okay, don't you worry. thanks
for your concern. anyway what the hell was i talking about? oh yeah, the podcast...
there are two bands on this podcast: nightmare of you and anti-flag. they both
rule. you're welcome. there's more...
there's a very special interview with our dear friend joshua gaines. why is
joshua gaines our dear friend? well, let's just say that he and his friend jason
hurley went ahead and built something that makes us at himynameismark very proud.
very very proud. what did they build? you'll just have to listen.
also featured are phone conversations with people you probably have never met,
but will instantly adopt as your new best friends. so don't miss it. or, if you
do miss it, just make sure you download it at a later date. please and thank you.

Hear Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge talk about getting naked for
Rolling Stone
Blink-182 may be "on hiatus" -- Tom DeLonge is now fronting Angels and Airwaves,
while Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus have formed Plus 44 -- but the guys remember
their 2000 Rolling Stone cover shoot like it was yesterday. Probably
because it involved water sports, a whole lot of nudity and Christina Aguilera (well,
almost). Hoppus and DeLonge dished on the details with Gavin Edwards for our
1000th issue.
Minus Ms. Dirrty, says Hoppus, "it was actually cool that we got to do it on our
own . . . When you you're on the [Rolling Stone]cover, it's like the
first time you hear your song on the radio or see your video on TV."

Tom DeLonge Says U.S. Behind 9/11
Angels and Airwaves' Tom DeLonge became the latest
member of the punk community to voice an opinion that the U.S. government was
behind the 9/11 attacks.
The former Blink 182 pop punker took to the airwaves on Monday (May 8), on San
Diego’s KAVA-FM (91X), interviewing James Fetzer of Scholars for 9/11 Truth.
Fetzer and DeLonge discussed alternative theories that allege the terrorist
attacks were part of an elaborate conspiracy to instill a sense of fear in the
American public in order to solidify the Bush regime's rule.

here's what you need to do. first,
get to the store (online or "brick and mortar") and purchase the PUNK GOES 90's
comp that fearless records released today. among other great tracks, it features
a classic NIN song covered by the super-talented himynameismark alumn "mae." and
don't even get me started on who produced the hell out of this track. i mean,
when i say that the production was second to none and that the producer may or
may not be hung like a dinosaur, well, i'm only kinda lying. actually, the
producing on the song is second only to the production on the original. but the
dinosaur thing is true. nevertheless, the song rules. trent reznor wrote it. mae
performed it. mark hoppus (that's me. my name is mark) produced it. chris holmes
engineered and mixed it. james brought us all delicious food and coffee. we all
did our part. now it's up to you. check it out.
or don't. i'm not a bully. i'm not going to make you buy a cd that you don't
want to buy (you want to buy it - go buy it). but maybe you'd rather buy "surprise"
by paul simon. co-written and produced by brian eno. also available today. also
great. sure to bring you joy and wonder and everything else you'd expect from
paul simon and the father of ambient music.
or you can go out and buy "st elsewhere" by gnarls barkley. it’s cee-lo (of
goodie mob fame) and dangermouse (of gorillaz, grey album and dangerdoom fame)
and it’s very rad. and while you’re at it, you could also pick up the album
dangermouse did with jemini the gifted one. it’s called "ghetto pop life."
or you can act like a 50 year old man like my 26 year old friend jon and tell me
how excited you are because season six of the west wing is finally available for
purchase. jon and my dad would get along great. what if jon ended up with my dad
and james ended up with my mom? the holidays may be getting very awkward soon...
did i mention that the golden girls season five box set came out today?
back to work. do my bidding. that is all.

oh man. this is getting good. intense. insane even.
and i know you know what i'm talking about. the lakers. kicking some major ass.
and i'm so psyched about it. woohoo!
okay, i lied. i don't normally follow sports at all, but i know the lakers are
in the playoffs. and they won this weekend. i'm down. when it's final four time,
my mind is on the lakers. my friend hoover would be so proud. and now that it's
march madness, i'm ready to root the lakers on. to make sure i'm just enough in
the loop so that when some dude at the gas station is filling up next to me and
says, "hey man, you see that game?" i can lie and say, "yeah. crazy, huh?" and
not be exposed as the sports-clueless, figure-skating aficionado that i am.
so anyway, podcast fourteen. this one is, like, a million times better than
podcast thirteen, which if you ask me, almost feels like it doesn't even exist.
this one features music by eight fingers down, hidden in plainview and the
futureheads. three great bands. and we talk to some members of the bands. and my
mom. and james is there and it's just good old fashioned fun and you’re
soooooooo friggin lucky that i waste my time so that you can too.
prepare to be underwhelmed and wonder where your last thirty minutes went.

Meet
Angels And Airwaves
Blink-182 may have split, but vocalist/guitarist Tom DeLonge is definitely
around to stay. He's teamed up with a few famous buddies - Atom (Offspring,
ex-Rocket From The Crypt), Ryan Sinn (ex-Distillers) and David Kennedy (ex-Boxcar
Racer) - to form the supergroup that is Angels And Airwaves. They all rocked in
their former bands so imagine the noise they're going to make now...
What's the craziest adventure you've ever been on?
TOM: Our last photo shoot was f***ing epic. A two-hour boat ride outside
of California, a mile hike up a hill carrying wheelbarrows and dragging gear
behind us. Then, after we came back, it was pitch black and we almost drowned
and died.
RYAN: That boat almost got cut in half.
TOM: I forgot about that, our boat almost got cut in half by this big
wire from a towboat pulling a barge. The only thing that beats that is when I
went to the Middle East with my old band. I was on an aircraft going into Kuwait
and there was a missile warning and we had to drop down and let off some flares.
It was f***ing scary.
Why did you go over there?
TOM: Just to play to the troops. What a wonderful experience that was
actually, but it was scary.
Do aliens exist?
TOM: Yes, they do. But they take on many forms.
ATOM: It could be anyone in this room.
TOM: I definitely think there is life out there, there's gotta be. They
just found life on Mars, like microbial life. If that's one planet imagine
what's out there in the rest of space.
DAVID: Yeah, how could there not be life somewhere else?
RYAN: I think it's pretty naive to think that we're the only form of
life.
TOM: We don't even know what's in our oceans.
ATOM: Yeah, exactly.
We hear you like conspiracy theories, Tom.
TOM:Yeah, I think that some of them are real. I think that a lot of
really odd sh*t went down on 9/11, like some really creepy, odd stuff. A lot of
creepy stuff happened at Roswell in Mexico. I think that in America the only
thing bigger than the government is corporations, and their access to money
seems to have more control over anything in America. Anything. I believe that
there's some crazy stuff going on.
Fast food fans or healthy eaters?
TOM: Both.
DAVID: In theory we all like to eat healthy but the fact is having bad
fuel is better than no fuel at all.
Sum up the UK in 3 words.
ATOM: Fish and chips.
How much would you be willing to spend on an item of clothing?
RYAN: These jeans were only £7, I don't like to spend a lot. I've never
owned an expensive pair of jeans, the most expensive I've bought was something
like £120.
TOM: I've got like a 20 grand leather jacket at home.
ALL: [Laugh]
TOM: I know. You know what the deal is, all your clothes should be free,
really cheap, but you should have f***ing rad jackets.
Most embarrassing CD in your collection?
DAVID: Nelly Furtado. I have a lot of guilty pleasures and that Whoa
Nelly CD was alright.
RYAN: I used to love Enya, I used to have the box set. I was stoked that
when I got here I turned on the classical video channel and it had Enya on it. I
called my wife and left a message like, 'Dude, Enya is on TV and it's awesome.'
ATOM: Ok A, you like Enya. And B, you just called your wife dude.
If you were President for the day, what would you do?
TOM: I would go straight to Area 51 (area in Nevada desert owned by US
Government, often associated with UFO conspiracies) and see where the aliens
are.
ATOM: I'd reform the United States Government, fire everybody.
What's the strangest thing you've done while intoxicated?
TOM: That's a good question.
DAVID: I've never drunk [laughs].
You've never drunk?
DAVID: No, I've never so I don't know. This is a question for everybody
else.
ATOM: I just remember being on a doorstep and just waking up.
DAVID: I know Tom has some stories.
TOM: It's something to do with a chick... and a parking lot.
DAVID: I knew it. I was gonna talk to you about that.
RYAN: There's too many. I don't know where to start.
