Edit: for some reason both this blog and the podcast have been taken off the site. If anybody knows why, post it in our forums so we can post it up here.

okay everyone. here i deliver to you all the latest installment in the fine series of podcasts known as "hi my name is mark." this is the first of a two parter that we recorded while on the (+44) tour a couple of weeks ago. a tour diary, if you will, a peek behind the curtain. through this podcast you can witness the experience the pure joy and boredom of life on the road. THRILL as we sit in the bus waiting to play. LIVE the wasted hours talking on the phone to our friend james. WEEP at the explanation of holmes' new nickname. these are the moments for which podcasts were created! we sit in buses and dressing rooms! we talk about what we didn't do! we are terrific!

as you may know already, during the filming of the video for "when your heart stops beating," travis broke his arm. that day he knew it hurt, but he didn't know it was actually broken until we went on an entire european tour, and then got back to the states and he got an mri done. this means he was playing the entire tour on a broken arm. you're welcome, europe. so we are postponing the first couple weeks of the tour until the end of the tour to allow his arm time to heal. we are working on the rescheduling, and hopefully will know today or tomorrow when and where everything is going to happen. the dates that we know for sure will be added onto myspace.com/plus44 and we will keep adding them as we know them. all of us cannot wait to be on the road playing these songs, so don't you worry. we will be in your town soon.

in the meantime, enjoy this here podcast. we will have the second half for you next week. that's right. next week. that's how on the ball we are here at "hi my name is mark." we are the best. weeeeeeee!!

New Blog From Mark E Mark:

From his MySpace:


hello again, awesome and not so awesome

what's up you all? as you might know, we have had to postpone the first couple of weeks of the north american +44 tour due to a fracture in travis's right arm. the new dates are being finalized today, and when they are official we will be posting them on the +44 myspace page, which is www.myspace.com/plus44. more dates are being added everyday, so check back often, because we are probably playing in your town soon. also on the +44 myspace page you can listen to music, look at photos from the video shoot, vote for songs, download avatars and icons, and generally waste the better part of a day. check it out. it is awesome.

what is NOT so awesome is a shoe company currently running a contest with a "bass signed by mark hoppus." it is not legit. that is not my signature, nor is that my bass. be warned.

but what IS awesome are (is/are?) the new mark hoppus siganture model basses fender is going to be producing soon. this time we did them in traditional late 50's early 60's colors. specifically see-thru blonde, and sunburst, both with tortoise-shell pickguards. i got two early prototypes just before the +44 european tour, and they sound amazing and look gorgeous. i'm gonna take some pictures and put them up on this here site very soon. until then you can check out the first one in the video for "when your heart stops beating." on these new basses i also changed the position of the pickup underneath the g and d strings, putting it closer to the neck, where there is more movement in the string, thus more and better sound. more and better sound is good. as soon as they become available i will let you know.

what is NOT awesome is that last week shane was gushing about this movie i HAD to go see IMMEDIATELY. "best movie of the year," he said. "amazing," he praised. "two thumbs up!" he cheered. turns out it was terrible. just terrible. i saw it and hated it and now shane owes me seven dollars for my wasted time and he's not paying. I WANT MY SEVEN DOLLARS, SHANE!!!!

what is VERY awesome is that this is the end of the post. thanks for reading, and we will see you on tour very soon.

may the force be with you, but mostly with me.
