<\/div>\n

Blink-182<\/a>\u2019s Mark Hoppus<\/a> released a cover of the Cars\u2019s classic tune \u201cJust What I Needed\u201d in honor of singer Ric Ocasek<\/a>, who died earlier this week<\/a>. Hoppus shared the cover, created with producer James Ingram, on Soundcloud following the news of Ocasek\u2019s passing.<\/p>\n

\u201cA couple years ago, I was asked to record a creepy cover of \u2018Just What I Needed\u2019 for a TV show,\u201d Hoppus wrote in a post along with the cover. \u201cThey wanted moody and strange, dark, and drony, with space for dialogue to go over it. I went into the studio with my friend James Ingram and this is what we came up with. The show was cancelled so quickly the episode never aired, but if you can imagine a grim and grizzled detective determinedly working a murder case that shook them to the very core of their being, this is the music the show requested. It\u2019s been sitting on a hard drive ever since, and with the sad news of Ric Ocasek\u2019s passing, I thought I\u2019d put it up here. Enjoy it. And go listen to the Cars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blink-182 will release their eighth studio album, Nine<\/em><\/a>, September 20th via Columbia Records. The band has released several tracks from the album so far, including \u201cHappy Days,\u201d<\/a> \u201cGenerational Divide\u201d<\/a> and \u201cBlame It On My Youth.\u201d<\/a> The band is currently on a co-headlining tour with Lil Wayne, which wraps September 22nd in Columbus, Ohio.<\/p>\n
