Tom DeLonge is calling from his cellphone. He’s in the car and on his way to the airport to embark on yet another Blink-182 tour. He’s just finished recording the fourth Angels & Airwaves album — Love: Part Two — and back in August the group put out Angels & Airwaves Presents Love Live, a film five years in the making. Beyond all of that, he is CEO of his own business and has developed software that not only runs all of the Angels & Airwaves website content but has now been adopted by Pearl Jam and the White Stripes. Oh, and don’t forget Neighborhoods, the first Blink-182 release to be recorded since the self-titled album back in 2003.

He is a man who wears many hats and though the pressure must be mighty, he obviously digs the energy. His writing and contributions to Neighborhoods has infused the trio with a sense of progressiveness only hinted at on earlier albums and the regal scope of his songwriting on Love: Part Two — triumphant songs that loop and soar in dizzying melodic crescendos — makes the fourth Angels & Airwaves album a cinematic orgy for the ears.

When we start our conversation, I mention how cool the new album is and Tom asks, "Which one? The blink album or the Angels record?" And that tells you everything you need to know.

• He talked about how hard it was working with the labels on the first two records.
• More than half way done with blink and AVA records.
• Movie is in 5.1 THX
• LOVE Part 2 is a full new album with "real songs".
• There will be a three disc set of movie, LOVE and LOVE Part 2.
• He thinks LOVE Part 2 is better than the first LOVE album.
• All three will be released Nov. 11
• There will be a few diff box set versions.
• Strange Times is totally awesome, but still a secret that will help with the whole experience.
• Blink album will come out around summer, before tour.
• LOVE will be in select theatres during that time.
• AVA will tour the following spring.
