2 DVD's, Boy Bands, and Jimmy Pop

Reported by erun

The Bloodhound Gang have also been working on a pair of DVDs for release. "One's called One Fierce Beer Run," says lead singer Jimmy Pop, "and the other one's called Hooray for Groupies ." Originally, the DVDs were pegged for release in 2001, but production stalled while the band sought clearances from fans caught on video during the group's 1997 world tour. (You can identify yourself here if you're worried.) A summer release date is on for Beer Run, with Hooray expected by the end of the year. According to Pop, all the music for their new album, which we've previously told you about has been recorded, and he's working on lyrics while on tour in Europe. Already lined up for a guest spot on the record is British band A, and, in a strange turn of events (also mentioned before), 'N Sync will be onboard soon if Pop keeps working his powers of persuasion. "We both agreed to do it," he says. "I sent Joey [Fatone, member of the boy band] one of those Jagermeister Tap machines for Christmas." But if that collaboration doesn't pan out, Pop might want to lean on Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, who recently contacted the Bloodhound Gang frontman after hearing his trance infused remix of Weezer's "Hashpipe." The apocalypse may not be a hoax, guys.
