Wow, we got a great commentary about A Thousand Suns, you can really tell how much Mike loves it!

It's a shame we didn't get the game but we got the band's best work, interesting concept tho.

New MP3 file on Mike's desktop!
"Aaron" could be Aaron Harmon, so this could be another blackbear related track, even if we don't know anything new about "Bear vla Aaron" and "I'm Still Fucking Here".

I don't think Mike just misspelled "Aalon" as Jason Aalon Butler (another collab we still don't know anything else), so... any guesses?

UPDATE
Another potential collab, who's Aaron?

Looks like the "Channeling Pt. 2" track comes with an issue. The whole track contains a really annoying noise that it suddenly disappear at 2:25. It's really weird.

The crackling sound seems to be intentional to me. It might be a little bit loud at times though.

Yes, Mike recorded Dan's over a vinyl cracking sound, so it's part of the actual drum track, but I agree, it's loud in certain spots!

FOR S

A folder called "FOR S" is on Mike's desktop. Let's start to speculate about who "S" could be.

VIOLENT ENOUGH

Before the July 27 stream Mike was working in Ableton on a project called "Violent Enough".

UPDATE
Potential collaboration + another working title for a new song?

BONUS

Confirmed by Mike himself, in his own special way... Dropped Frames, Vol. 2 out this Friday!

ELEPHANT/GOLD/GOLD ELEPHANT

On Mike's desktop there's a folder called Elephant Drum Raw Stereo.

It was edited the last time on the 4th of July. That was Saturday, so he wasn't streaming.

In the July 24 stream, we can see on the left a few drum racks:

Battle Symphony Rack

Dark Electro

LP Drum Rack 1
Mew Break
MS Gold Drum Rack
MS Gold Elephant 1
MS NI Gold Kik Snares

Rock Industrial

 

Interesting to see that there's a drum rack both for "Gold" and "Gold Elephant".
These could be just random names for the drum racks, or demos titles.

The main "Elephant Drum Raw Stereo" folder is still on his desktop, so whatever this is it's something he's working on recently.

WARRIORS DRUM Shinkansen
We know that Shinkansen was originally a Living Things beat that Mike re-used for World's On Fire.
Could be Warriors a new track?

Little update about "Elephant" plus a potential new entry, "Warriors".

BONUS
Funny thing.

In the Ableton files we can see that he's trying to mix the A Thousand Suns style jam, "A Thousand Jams", since May.

He already has SIX different mixes and the last one is from July 21, let's hope to hear it soon!

ELEPHANT

On Mike's desktop there's a folder called Elephant Drum Raw Stereo.
There's another folder (maybe a file) under that, I can read "Drum Break" but he didn't show it in its entirety, it could be related to Elephant or not.

The Elephant folder was edited the last time on the 4th of July. That was Saturday, so he wasn't streaming.
When this track, whatever it is, will be released, it probably will have a new title so we won't even know what this was, but that's ok, for now it's another proof that is working on other stuff!

After a while I got a new working title!

Update:

Mike was saving settings for the Lo-Fi Glow plugin and in the folder there were familiar titles like Crystaline, Session McSessionface and Osiris, so "Misty Sky" could be the working title of a jam or a separated new song.

MS Tight Arp 1
Misty Sky edited
MS Fuzzy Pad
MS Pluck 1
MS Crystaline Stagedust
Sess Mc Sess Detuned
Session McSession Pluck
Dusty Stabs Osiris
MS Anachronic OSIRIS
MS Lo-Fi Bass
Lo-Fi Glow
 

Mike knows very well how we're watching everything.
So he changed the three iconic folders "YES I KNOW / YOU CAN SEE MY FOLDERS / STOP PEEKING" to: 

DROPPED FRAMES

ALBUM OUT

NEXT FRIDAY

Some good self-promotion here 🤣

More working titles for the jams!

LMAO you guys 🤣❤️

Any idea whats below the MS 004 BACKUP folder? Pappa Park? Peppa Park?

I imagine you were thinking something about the band but... that's actually a pic of me and Mike 🤣

Update:
A little generic and not worth a screenshoot in the main thread but here's some new stuff on Mike's desktop: a "MAYO Drums" folder and a "song idea.mp3".

On the other hand, the remix Mike did for I Drive Me Mad by renforshort will be out this Friday (already out here in Europe).

I noticed the remix projects on April 29, so this is the first thing, out of this thread, that was released, that's nice.
Can't wait to have more!

Why he has a folder with drums from Talking To Myself on his desktop?
Working on a remix? Learning drum parts? Ideas for live shows?

You can also see .wav files of drum stems for In The End, Sorry For Now, Heavy and Nobody Can Save Me added into a new folder on June 7.

Update: new working title "El Little Idiot" plus Mike checking drum stems of Linkin Park songs.

Didn't we knew that already? with the "LP LIVE EXPERIENCE DRAFT ONE" thing

I guess we knew that they considered to play it, since it was on a draft setlist, but we didn't have a "proof" that they actually rehearsed it!

On 4/15/2020 at 5:49 PM, PeppePark said:

But here comes the best thing.
In the May 22 screenshot you can clearly see the folders at the bottom.
Yeah, Mike REALLY created two folders named "YES I KNOW" and "YOU CAN SEE MY FOLDERS" LMAO 🤣
There's a third one under those, I guess it's the "continuation", but sadly it's covered by the donations banner.

UPDATE: Donations banner is gone and I can finally reveal the full "message" by Mike:
 

YES I KNOW
YOU CAN SEE MY FOLDERS
STOP PEEKING

 

🤣

Donations are over and we could finally solve the biggest mistery 😂

Lmfaooooo screaming at the folder names 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 watch him checking out this topic haha

During one of the latest livestreams there was a part of the desktop "exposed" and people freaked out in the chat saying: "Mike, the files, we can see the files" and stuff.

Maybe he just noticed that and he still doesn't know about this thread, but yeah, it was so funny 🤣

Like he knew from the beginning but wasn't sure if we're paying attention, he was sure when he fucked up with the HT20 tracks, now he's just trying to be funny about it MEH mr. SHAWNODA, M.E.H. 🤣

Yeah, he's been a lot more careful lately, like that time he did the personality test and he was scared to show the screen 🤣

The "Grimy Sloppy" I guess it's a tape loop he recorded.
 

For May 18 and May 21 livestreams Mike used some drum recordings by Dan Mayo, done when he was in Los Angeles last year.

 In the May 20 screenshot you can also see a WeTransfer .zip file but I can't read the name because it's covered by Dan's folder.
On May 21 two more recordings with Dan appeared, with Mike actually using "Mayo Channeling A vinyl crackles 122bpm.wav" for the jam of that day.

But here comes the best thing.
In the May 22 screenshot you can clearly see the folders at the bottom.

Dan Mayo's files, a new tape loop, and the most important thing...

MIKE KNOWS 👀🤣

Thank you, it's always beautiful to see nice comments about this and remember that this really happened 😂

Damn, I saw all these screenshots and I was like: "What's happening???" 🤣

Nothing new then, but it's good you pointed this out so we could check!

Bear vla Aaron

Not sure about this because I can't read it properly but that's what it seems to me. 
Maybe it's "Beat via Aaron"?
There's a songwriter called Aaron Bear but who knows?
Maybe something with blackbear?

EDIT: This is totally something with blackbear.
On today's stream (May 11) Mike is working to a blackbear song called I'm Still Fucking Here.
He mentioned "My guys Aaron and Matt" and then I realized.

Aaron is Aaron Harmon, the producer who also worked on About You and What The Words Meant.

This folder was on Mike desktop's days before blackbear tagged Mike on his Instagram Stories saying that he wanted to send him a track, so Mike is producing at least two blackbear songs!

Update: Mike is producing at least two blackbear songs, one called I'm Still Fucking Here!

Isn't Ostrich the guy who was charging one price, but then abruptly raised it by like a few hundred percent when he realized there was real interest in the footage?

Yeah, Marc Ostrick, for the Lockout documentary.
He wanted like over $10.000 lmao.

Imagine the band was able to get the full thing to release it, it would be huge!
