Simple Creatures dropped a new video today for their song “Special” and it’s EVERYTHING. If you’ve lived in a cave for the past 26 years and don’t know it both Mark Hoppus and Alex Gaskarth make music to be consumed with a sense of humor. Not every song is funny but, when you catch the lyrics, there are jokes in almost every song. It just makes sense that the new video would feature Hoppus and Gaskarth as sock puppets.

WOO HOO! blink-182 just released “Blame It On My Youth”. If this song doesn’t make you lace up your Vans and grab a skateboard I can’t help you. When Mark Hoppus sings “You can never kill my high / I’m the ink and you’re the headline” You can feel it, a passionate declaration of pop-punk survival.
