If you find a link for that, post it here.

They haven't done a ton of promo for it yet, but we will add stuff as it happens (interviews, track by track, etc) with info.

Mike provided a brief update on the band today on Twitch, when he said, "The only Linkin Park news I have for you is - yeah, we talk every few weeks, but there’s no tours, there’s no music, there’s no albums in the pipeline. Let me just tell you that. So just keep in your minds that that is not happening." You can view the video here.

Finished Amends yesterday, working on Amends... Stripped today on the wiki.

We'll sit down and finish this up soon - just got to creating the page for The Phoenix yesterday with the updated Anything, Anything info. Will work on this, thanks for the reminder.

I check the site like once a week, if that, lately. Will move it.

Agreed with Trumtram. It can still be a legendary album without winning a Grammy. That Foo Medicine at Midnight album is groovy as hell. Pretty solid.

Walmart.com has listed a new Reanimation Funko Pop, arriving in May, celebrating the 20th year anniversary of Linkin Park's remix album Reanimation. The website says, "This Pop! Album celebrates the 20th Anniversary of the release of Linkin Park's Reanimation. Never forget where it started, or the journey that unfolded along the way, by collecting this special Pop! Album of Reanimation which features a Pop! and the record cover art packaged together in a protective case. Vinyl figure is approximately 3.75-inches tall. Approximate dimensions of protective case: 8.75”W x 9.25”H x 3.25”D. Please note: Collectible does not include a playable vinyl record." The Funko Pop retails at $14.96 and follows the release of the Hybrid Theory Funko Pop in 2021.

Shit like that is one of ten thousand reasons the band gives people to be pissed off at them. Literally no reason to block alternative versions of songs when those aren't even the ones being released.

You need to have more patience. Absolutely nothing is going on in the LP world right now and there is no touring, so we aren't checking Got News twice a day. Just so happened I was gone yesterday doing work stuff and didn't see this until now (if you'd check the account, you'd know there wasn't a login on this one yesterday). Moved it today.

Definitely understood on the first point. Did not realize he said any of those things. Have only seen him say to not get into it if you don't know what you're doing or don't know about NFTs.

Literally don't care about the NFTs, have not followed it at all. Thought it was so weird Mike sold a 37 second clip of One Hundredth Stream for $36,000 and all of us thought he was selling the actual song in full lol There isn't any real downside to him doing NFTs for the LP community. He's releasing music and has made everything available musically to everyone that he's sold as NFTs. So why does it matter that much to us? He pissed off the gamer community but that's their problem they have with him about coming up with hypothetical futuristic situations. He preaches all the time about like, "don't get into NFTs if you don't know what you are doing" to the LP fans. In that regard, he isn't being careless about being a "leader" for some folks in that area. Just don't see it as such a huge deal when he's always been interested in new technology for pretty much the entire history of the band. We don't pay it any attention since we aren't interested. Some people may like it, so that's fine.

Did anyone else catch the quoted replies to Mike on Twitter about NFTs? Mike recently struck a nerve with the gamer community over his seemingly innocent speculation about NFTs for gamers, bringing in an oddly significant amount of backlash. Anyone have any thoughts about this?

It's really not worth us having different titles for every LPU CD, we just keep it all the same and can put photos of them. Of course they change like the numbering from 9 to X, then 15 to Sixteen, etc... blah.

Hey everyone, To help out a friend, we are trying to find a specific video that was posted on Instagram and other social media sites in recent years. We are having trouble finding it again. The video is from the 2007-2011 era, when 'Shadow of the Day' was in the setlist. It features Chester, Sean Paden (Brad's guitar tech), and Kurt Schneck (Mike and Chester's guitar tech) side stage, and Chester is very excited, jumping around talking about how much he loves a specific black guitar that he was playing. If you have any leads on the video, please let us know! Thank you!

While working on Linkinpedia's Fort Minor song pages, we came across a news article from 2005 that said Mike gave a shout out on a mixtape song by an artist named Trek Life. After tracking down the song, we have uploaded it to our YouTube page. The song is called "Freestyle Audio-Live & Amad Jamal" by Trek Life, from the 2005 mixtape "Keep the Receipt." It features a shout out by Mike Shinoda at the beginning of the track: "What up ladies and gentlemen. You are tuned into the sounds of Trek Life, working hard over here in the city of angels. My name is Mike Shinoda, I'm coming at you straight out of Fort Minor. Big shoutout to my man Kevin Sakoda. Kev, keep the receipt big boy, peace!" The mixtape was released on September 18, 2005, during the Fort Minor era. You can download it for free on his Bandcamp page: https://treklife.bandcamp.com/track/freestyle-audio-live-amad-jamal

Linkin Park has announced that they have moved to the 21st year of the Linkin Park Underground fan club. "21 years of Linkin Park Underground. Whether this is your 1st or your 21st year in the LPU, thank you for choosing to participate in our Linkin Park family… we love you all, stay strong and we hope you enjoy LPU 21. -Phoenix" The LPU said, "The new LPU 21 bundle and merchandise are now in the LP Underground store. This year, we drew inspiration from the LPU 2.0 collection by bringing back the bold colors of the bundle. We also created exclusive vintage items including an LPU 2.0 vintage tee AND exclusive LPU 2.0 music in cassette form." The LPU 2 album is available on cassette for the first time ever, previously only being released in physical CD and digital formats. Other items for LPU 21 include a notebook, an olive beanie, a vintage LPU 2 shirt, and a bundle with a different Underground shirt, sticker, guitar pick, and keychain. There is still no update on a future LPU CD release. The band released 16 CDs to the LPU from 2001 to 2016, with the Hybrid Theory EP reissue kicking off the series. The last CD, LP Underground Sixteen, was released in November 2016.

Any guesses at the lyrics for Mike's verses? The rest of the lyrics are here: https://linkinpedia.com/index.php?title=Fort_Minor_Medley

You're right. From Mike: Yeah Lift off like Virgin Galactic My Richard's too Branson to fuck with you bastards Very legendary that’s some matter-of-fact shit You're the opposite of stars like "rats" spelled backwards I float poems out to Saturn and past it Easy as a standard anti-gravity backflip Satellite tracking can't map out my tactics I spit the same shit they split an atom in half with No, it's not what I want but it had to be And lames heads hang like I'm drainin' their battery I put you in retirement, imagine you're mad at me The space shuttle Challengers get turned into tragedies Rocketdyne rhyming yeah heavily tested Mess with M.S., yes I hope you invested I don't drop mics, only let it smoke where I set it And I don't play, even when they press, get it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocketdyne

Yeah the comments about it not being a demo are correct. Sean did this in 2002 for a 2003 release and the LP label blocked it. https://www.lpassociation.com/forum/threads/coming-soon-exclusive-remastered-audio-of-grey-dazes-no-sun-today.25382/ Info is there. It's a remaster. All for accuracy but it seems like that comes last these days - GD B12, LP Shadow of the Day, Mike mislabeling LPU demo years, etc. We'll at least note it correctly on the wiki and that's all we can do. If all of those are released then that's a good project, IMO.

The wrong version of Shadow of the Day is on this vinyl. How in the world did they not catch that?

Been a while. Saw this video on Twitter and gave it another stab. Will ask Mike about these after the ZIGGURATS drop and get them officially. Yeah! Lift off like Virgin Galactic My Richard’s too Branson to fuck with you bastards Very legendary that’s some matter of fact shit You're the opposite of stars like rats spelled backwards I flow poems out to Saturn and past it Easy as a standard anti-gravity backflip Satellite tracking can't map up my tactics I spit the same shit they split an atom in half with No, it’s not what I want but it had to be And lames heads hang like I'm drainin' their battery I put you in retirement, imagine you're mad at me The space shuttle challengers get turned into tragedies Rock and dime (?) rhymin', yes heavily tested Mess with Em', messed, yes I hope you invested I don’t drop mikes, only let it smoke where I set it And I don't play, even when they press, get it?

They sound like LPU demos like Basil.
