Since the beginning of his music career, Tom DeLonge has maintained eternal youth and rebellion through his punk powerhouse Blink-182. But when the band collapsed and announced an indefinite hiatus in 2005, the guitarist was left searching for a brand-new avenue -- a bigger picture. Angels and Airwaves have been DeLonge's main focus for several years. While the band has grown to considerable heights, DeLonge has slowly changed his adolescent ways and adopted a more philosophic lifestyle, writing about the universe and its infinite mysteries.

But now Blink -- the band that made him, the band that launched three budding rock stars from the MTV generation -- have returned. Without much thought, DeLonge has thrown himself back into the mix, but this time with a much more responsible and stoic demeanor that is featured on their newest full-length, 'Neighborhoods.'

At the same time, Angels and Airwaves released their much-anticipated 'Love Pt. 2' and an accompanying sci-fi film. DeLonge has accomplished more in one year than most rockers do in a decade. Spinner recently spoke to the singer about his battle with anxiety, Blink-182's awkward reunion and the why the 36-year-old still likes to "get drunk and break things."

hello, fine people of the interwebs. my name is mark hoppus, and i play bass and sing in the rock trio blink-182. i also have a tv show called "hoppus on music." i enjoy long walks on the beach, long watchings of tv, and long starings at my cell phone while people are trying to talk to me. please feel free to ask me anything. yes, anything. if something is blatantly offensive or disrespectful of others, i will invoke my right of parlay and say "pass." thank you for your time.

ps-i can save you a lot of time by saying that i don't know when we will be touring in your city or country. we want to play everywhere always for everybody.

pps-thanks to tropius, who originally had the username markhoppus, and relinquished it to me so i could have my name for reddit.

i will post this now to give time for questions to be submitted, and be back in 30 minutes at 9pm GMT to start the answering.

edit: 90 minutes later, let's call it. thanks VERY much to all of you for your time. you all rule. let's do this again sometime, shall we? may the force be with you.
