Bad Religion bassist Jay Bentley recently spoke with fans via the long-running BR Page forums. Jay discussed some of the band’s possible tours and the progress for their next album:
What i am talking about is time. Greg has been busy with school and other outside projects, Brett has been busy producing the Rancid record and with Epitaph and a thousand other outside projects…. So the one thing that is in short supply, is time. We have scheduled the time for the Warped tour, and Australia, so those are “confirmed”, and I am constantly working on new tours and shows, but somehow in the midst of all that, songs need to be written. While Greg and Brett are certainly prolific songwriters, they are not monkeys at typewriters. We have an understanding in the band that we will never “force” out another album. They will come naturally and organically, and be made of a pure desire, or not at all.
Even if we complete a project and are unhappy with the result, we will shelve it. So please, know that we have every intention of making a record for 2010…” (…) “The reason I say things like “hopefully” and “if everything goes well”, is because after 30 years of this, all I know is that I don’t know anything… Everyone in the band has a life outside the band, and between the time spent touring and doing “life”, sometimes making a record just doesn’t work out like you want… That has happened before, it happened on the last record and I fully expect it to happen again…”
The band last released New Maps of Hell.

Radiohead‘s Colin Greenwood tells NME that the Oxford-based band have begun work in the studio with longtime producer Nigel Godrich.. The band began on May 11th and are working on the follow up to 2007’s In Rainbows.
Colin added:
We’ve just started work [in the studio] last week. It’s really cool and everything is sounding great. It’s early days and it is a bit like having a scrapbook at the moment because everything is up in the air, but it’s good to be back in the studio.
The band has worked with Godrich for every album since 1997’s OK Computer.

Blink 182 recently participated in a lengthy interview for KROQ. Tom Delonge talked about his time in Angels and Airwaves saying:
For the past few years I’ve been doing this serious stuff. And then the first song we come out and play, and I come right out and ask people if they masturbate to the ‘Lord of the Rings’ … it was crazy.
MTV has a bit of a recap here and a fan has posted a copy of the entire event on their website though it is unclear how long it will last. Another copy can be found here.
