Blink-182 Returns and So Does This Blog!

Sorry for the long hiatus. I'd list the reasons for it but there are way too many. Let's just life got busy. Anyway, on to the news.

Blink-182 made good on their reunion promise at the Grammys by being the surprise ending to a private party to unveil the new T-Mobile Sidekick at Hollywood’s Paramount Pictures. While they only played a short three-song set, fans of the band won't have to wait long for more. The group has announced a 50-date U.S. tour.
