According to Buzznet, blink-182 will be touring with Weezer this summer on their first outing since reforming after a 4-year hiatus. Buzznet cites an anonymous source and few other details are available about such a tour. What we do know is that the tour will be prior to blink-182′s album due this fall and will contain songs from several of the band’s albums.

Most information currently available, with the exception of the Weezer announcement, is straight from bassist Mark Hoppus’ own lips, or perhaps fingers may be a more appropriate word. Hoppus has been constantly updating his Twitter.com account since it’s creation with ramblings of day to day activities. Entries on the musician’s micro-blogging page range from his erratic sleep schedule to working on remixes for bands like Fall Out Boy and his announcement of working with new albums as a producer for acts like Motion City Soundtrack, with which he worked on Commit This to Memory in 2005.

Tour Mockup

The man seems content to remain busy even through out the finalizing of blink-182′s album and in preparation for a tour. Other entries by Hoppus are conversations with Chris Holmes, who worked with Hoppus extensively on +44 during the blink hiatus, about the possibility of working with production while on the road with his own band. This would lead some to ask why not take along a lesser known band to give them exposure? To be honest no one knows if other acts will be involved on the summer tour, although you’d have to think the details would come out soon. Weezer may have been guitarist Tom DeLonge’s idea. DeLonge did a co-headlining tour with Weezer and his band Angels & Airwaves just last fall, when the rumors of a blink reunion were starting to formulate. Immediately after the announcement of a reunion and a tour rumors had already sprung about just who would be special enough to join along, including the mock tour poster that made it’s way on to AbsolutePunk.

Regardless of who’s on the tour, this summer is sure to turn every twenty and thirty-something out there back into a 15 yr. old kid laughing at fart jokes. And let’s be honest, we could use some of that.

Rehearsal List

I’m not sure what’s more annoying. There appears to be a single cricket somewhere in the building that I’m in, chirping away the following fourty minutes until my next class. On the other hand, the only sound I have to drown it out is this stupid Senses Fail song that’s stuck in my head. I didn’t even like their latest album, but it’s just this stupid chorus being sung over and over in my conscious that’s driving my crazy. On that note, here’s three random thoughts.

1. I hope the debate happens tonight. As far as I’m aware, it’s still up in the air. I wish McCain would stop procrastinating and just get it over with. After some progress Wednesday and an agreement almost having been reached earlier in the day Thursday, everything ended up falling apart Thursday night when House Republicans walked out. Obama had suggested the candidates presence might cause that outcome and that’s likely what happened.
2. If tonight’s debate does not happen, I hope it won’t it end pushing back the vice-presidential debate on October 2ND. I’m really looking forward to watching Sarah Palin get her ass handed to her by Biden. What business does she have being a vice-presidential candidate? That interview with Katie Couric was pathetic and Palin was obviously very coached on her responses, except for maybe one – I doubt the McCain campaign would be dumb enough to coach her “foreign relations” experience with Russia. . .
3. I have tickets to see Weezer with Angels and Airwaves and Tokyo Police Club on October 3RD in Minnesota at the Excel Center. Probably the biggest venue show I’ll have ever been to. I’m hoping Weezer plays the old stuff too, I haven’t heard much off their new album.
