Band hits the studio on Valentine's Day to begin sessions for follow-up to 2009's 21st Century Breakdown.By James Montgomery

While you were wasting time with flowers, candy and/or restraining orders on Valentine's Day, Green Day were getting down to business, beginning sessions for a brand-new album.
That's according to frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, who broke the news (and a four-month Twitter hiatus) on his personal account Tuesday — and coined a rather amazing euphemism for recording in the process.
"Happy Valentine's Day!" he tweeted. "Officially started recording the new record today. It's F--- TIME!!!!"
Yes, we're aware "It's F--- Time" is also a song by Green Day's side-project, the Foxboro Hot Tubs, though it works well in the recording context too, so we're sticking with it. No word on just who Green Day have brought in to helm said f--- time (an email to their publicist was not responded to by press time), but the sessions will bring forth the first studio album since the band's 2009 effort 21st Century Breakdown. Last year, they played a secret show in California that included a reported 15 new songs, though it's not known if those songs will make the new album.
Of course, as any Green Day fan will surely tell you, Valentine's Day also holds a rather significant place in the band's lore: In 2003, the band recorded an entire album called Cigarettes and Valentines, though the master tapes were supposedly stolen, and the band decided to scrap the project in favor of the album that would reinvigorate their career: American Idiot. During the band's 21st Century Breakdown world tour, they began working the title track from that lost album into their set list, and it made the cut for the 2011 live album, Awesome as F---.
And with that, we've officially set a new record for most uses of the F-word in an MTV News story. History in the making, people!
