Pete Wentz “kills emo” with new haircut
Monday, October 5th, 2009
Saturday night marked the “death of the emo haircut.” On stage at Madison Square Garden in New York, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz marked the occasion by letting Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus shave his head.
While Fall Out Boy performed, Wentz sat down in a chair while Hoppus took his clippers and emancipated Mr. Ashlee Simpson of his swooping bangs.
Of course, the crowd ate it up and of course, someone caught it on video and posted it to YouTube. Watch it here.

Blink-182 Play Tribute To Late Friend DJ AM
Monday, August 31st, 2009
Blink-182 played an emotional tribute to DJ AM on Saturday night. After some tearful opening words during their concert in Hartfort, Connecticut, Mark Hoppus requested that everyone take a moment of silence for their late friend. The band then dedicated the song Down to DJ AM.
The DJ whose real name was Adam Goldstein was found dead in his New York City apartment on Friday afternoon.
Though the official cause of death has not been determined yet, there have been reports that drug paraphernalia was found near his body. He was 36. Close to a year ago, DJ AM and Blink drummer Travis Barker were the only two survivors of a private plane crash.

Blink 182 & Weezer Concert Review
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009
When Blink 182 announced that they were going to reunite and go on a tour I wasn’t overly excited about it, but that all changed when they announced that Weezer was going to be on the bill with them for their second stop in Toronto. That announcement pretty much sealed the deal for me and I was lucky enough to snag up some tickets.
Knowing that Weezer were going to be on before Blink meant a shorter setlist than what Weezer would normally play. Even with less stage time, Weezer did not disappoint. Watching Weezer live is extremely fun because of Rivers Cuomo’s awkwardness nature. The band came out wearing these orange jumpsuits that looked like the ones construction workers wear.

Taking Back Sunday: “Blink-182 reunited for the money”
Thursday, August 20th, 2009Taking Back Sunday are set to join Blink-182’s reunion tour this Sunday in Toronto. TBS singer Adam Lazzara revealed to MuchNews that Blink got back together for the dough.
“We were very excited [to join the tour.] Now that they’ve run out of money and needed to come back we’re just stoked to be part of it,” he said.
This came as a surprise to bassist Matt Rubano, who added, “Is that the reason they’re coming back? Ha ha, I didn’t have that conversation.”
We can’t really tell if Adam’s joking or not. Either way, you can catch Taking Back Sunday with Blink-182, Weezer and Chester French at the Molson Amphitheatre on Sunday, August 23rd.
