Bree!

We know they're back to bonding like the three amigos we knew them as. We know that a tour will be happening this summer. All that is magnificent, but what are the little happenings in between explosive Blink announcements? Let's round 'em up...

Your resident AFI expert Mark Oshiro is currently flying on an airplane high up in the sky, so I'll be providing you with today's AFI update.

First, take a look at the new logo for the album they're working on right now, Crash Love. Peep it...

This morning my inbox was full of Google alerts for My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy, but all of them had to do with this dude named Adam Lambert. Oh, really?

The dates for No Doubt summer tour (remember that Paramore and The Sounds are supporting!) were just put up online! Pow! Oh hell yes, here are the dates and venues...

I've admittedly sort of backed off the "Twilight" beat because I can only handle so much. However, I thought some of you would be interested in what Robert Pattinson had to say when asked him a particular question about "New Moon." Read more...

I often wonder
What my neighbor is watching on TV
So I press my ear to the wall*
And find out**

*Activities in above poem may or may not have transpired.
**If one were to ask me, the author, what the neighbor was watching, I would say, "Not all fiction is based on a true story, you know."
And then I would say, "Cops."
And then I would say, yes, apparently some people do still watch UPN.

Would be a cool band name, right? Don't take it, bishes, it's mine.

Anyway, I'm recovering (?) from an unpleasant flu (as IF there's such a thing as a 'pleasant flu'), and I had a few really vivid dreams/nightmares. I can't remember them all, but what I do remember...

• Stealing a pack of necklaces that were $80 accidentally because the store didn't have an audible alarm. A police woman who looked like Angelina Jolie tracked me down and took me back to the store. I cried, my mom paid for the necklaces.
• My sister and I deciding to take all the door handles in our old house off. Also, we were flying while doing this. And singing.
• Some sort of technology got EMBEDDED in the side of my face, which made me shed half of my facial skin like a snake. Mom knew some sort of acupuncture cure so she fixed me.
• I also had a dream that I told someone on facebook about the door handle dream.
  

How do I even tell real life from dreams anymore?

The best news that the 2009 Grammy Awards brought last night was that Blink-182's "indefinite hiatus" has definitely come to an end. Some had suspected that their appearance on stage at the awards show was a tease, but they released a statement saying that they're writing a record and then touring the world! There's more good news...

We've heard whisperings of their re-bonding and we know that on Sunday, they'll be coming together to be presenters at the Grammy Awards -- but what could possibly bring a more positive sign that Blink-182 will reunite in 2009 and make some music? Well, that hot hunk of man meat from Angels and Airwaves, that's what. The beans, he spilled them...

So last night I had a weird dream. Some of Vanessa Hudgens mail came to my house by accident. Normally, (and by that I mean in real life), I'd just leave it in the mailbox until the postman surrenders and takes it back.


BUT, one of the envelopes was a very important court document -- divorce papers. Baby V was apparently divorcing someone named Justin. I thought it important that this mail get to her, so I'm like, hmm, who could I give it to?



And then there was Miley Cyrus, saying she would get it to V. Where did Miley come from and why was she like, 6 foot 2? I don't know. I was skeptical of giving the mail to Miley, but she swore up and down that they were friends and she'd make the delivery. So I gave it to her.

The end.

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!

This Sunday, Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker will all take the stage together again -- just not in the way most Blink fans would like. Read more...

Those who have been long awaiting (since LAST WEEK) the manifestation of Patrick Stump's dream job as a music journalist can finally find resolution. His very first RS review, the forthcoming CD/DVD The Ultimate Peter Tosh Experience, has been published in issue 1072. Yes, way.

SoCal kids have already been stoked on the roster for Bamboozle Left, hitting Irvine on April 4th and 5th. Skipping all that cryptic message biznass, the headliners for both Saturday and Sunday have been announced. Fall Out Boy were a solid prediction ahead of time (having an opening on their Believers Never Die Tour) but 50 Cent?  Check it...
