Fattcamp from Below Empty is planning on recording the repeat broadcast tomorrow, hopefully it all goes well.

Wow, EvntLive. Your stream keeps skipping/jumping back by half a second so lines of songs get repeated twice, buffering, changing quality for no discernible reason, etc...and you have the nerve to put up a message saying that I'M the one with the bandwidth problems? Fuck you. *Edit* There was a short instrumental jam before Lady Picture Show, Chester had to go backstage and change his pants. Wardrobe malfunction.

Stream's jumping all over the place quality-wise on my end.

40 minutes!

June at the earliest.

Called it.

"Drop the bass now" or something like that...let me check. *Edit* "Drop the bassline" is what I hear.

You guys amaze me with your researching skills sometimes. And this is coming from the guy who found out about the Memphis 2002 recording.

I'm REALLY early in the process of creating it, but I think my remix is going to be a "purposely anti-climatic" kind of thing, where it's heavy where you'd expect it to be soft and soft where you'd expect it to be heavy. I'm also going to try to find a way to mix a really organic, guitar-driven instrumental with vocals that heavily emphasize the vocoder parts. I may also sing on it.

Sounds like Joe was having issues with his gear, based on the "when our keyboards break" comment by Mike, and Joe playing random Numb samples while Mike is talking.

Speed ALTNC up by 5 BPM and you basically have What I've Done, lol.

Mike Brown IS Cheezboy.

I REALLY wish Agent2594/DJ Bloodfrost was still around. Would love to see what he'd come up with, with access to stems/current recording technology.

They're held at public businesses during their regular operating hours, it's not like they can really stop people from showing up if they want to.

What I've Done went from not existing to fully-completed song/planned first single in the span of like, a week. The album was done, Warner didn't feel like it had a song strong enough to be a lead single, so Mike went home and wrote one. Mike also confirmed in an interview that the vocals on What I've Done were recorded at his home studio, which made them the first "demo vocals" to make an album (they've since recorded a bunch of other vocals at Mike's place that made it onto albums). Pretty sure the vocals on the album version of WID are the only vocals that song ever got.

Until your opinion does a complete 180 within a week like it always does.

It's supposed to be "and," basically. I think the X is supposed to symbolize "mixed with"/"crossed with" or something like that.

Complementary isn't 100% sampled from other stuff though (there's also nothing from Roads Untraveled in it - keys from Burn It Down/Lost in the Echo, drums from Burn it Down/In My Remains), and even if it was, it's not all stuff that comes with the stock version of the program. Mike would have had to load all of the keyboard patches and stuff from the original Pro Tools sessions into Stagelight before creating the song.

The Loop Jams consist 100% of stems from other LP demos released through Stagelight. There is no original music found in those songs that isn't found elsewhere in the program. Bruiser, Space Station, and Complementary are original songs. I don't get why it's so hard to understand the difference. Saying the Loop Jams count as LP songs is like saying it would count as an LP song if I put the What I've Done acapella over the New Divide instrumental. Sold My Soul is like 10% Papercut/POA samples, 90% original music. Big difference.

I got a shipping confirmation a couple days ago.

...It's the same version from the original music video... *Edit* And so is the shot at the end that you're talking about, there's a huge chunk of the Making Of video showing them filming that specific shot, lol. It's all green screen.

He did it for most of the 2007 shows, it started to get kind of random in 2008, by the end of the year he usually didn't (Cuyahoga Falls being one of the few instances on PR08 that I recall him doing it). He still did occasionally in 2009 I think...don't really remember how that song sounded on the A Thousand Suns tour, other than Chester screwing up the lyrics at the end at a bunch of performances, lol.

That's what we guessed it was when Chester said the title was going to be "T______ and T______" but it turned out that the title they were considering was "Triumph and Tragedy" / "In Triumph and Tragedy" / "Triumph In Tragedy." That was going to be the album title until Chester happened to watch a History Channel special about the doomsday clock. It's some kind of explosion/nuclear-related thing that ties in with a lot of the album's lyrical themes. I always thought it was supposed to be an atom splitting, but that's just my guess. ...Or it could be Pedobear firing his lazer.

The difference between Reanimation and Recharged: Reanimation was a remix album that started as a Linkin Park-only project that was originally just going to be an EP (hence why Mike and Joe remixed multiple songs). Some of the band's friends started getting involved, and then the Humble Bros. sent them their remix of One Step Closer, which made the band decide to make a full remix album. The album still consisted mostly of collaborations with friends/people the band had toured with, the band had considerable input on most of the tracks, and the songs had a variety of different styles. For Recharged, Linkin Park released the stems from Living Things to a bunch of EDM artists, and some others sent them remixes that they made using the instrumentals/acapellas that were released on iTunes. The band had very little input, with the exception of Mike's two remixes and two rap verses. All of the remixes were done by artists within a specific genre, so the album has a very unified sound to it. On paper, I don't think either idea is really better than the other. Restricting a project to a certain style is a unique challenge, and it definitely makes more sense to attempt something like that with a remix album than an album of original material. You could do something like this with an album of dance remixes, or an album of stripped-down versions of songs that originally had very high production values (whatever happened to the "rock version" of Chris Cornell's Scream anyway?). Either kind of project could produce great music...it's just in this case, Recharged is being compared to an album that some still consider Linkin Park's greatest work. People would probably like Recharged a lot more if Reanimation didn't exist.

One of the proposed titles for Minutes to Midnight was inspired by the book "A Million Little Pieces." The actual title wasn't specified, just that it was something from the book that Mike thought was a good title. That was in early 2006 when the band was still saying the album would "definitely" be out that year.
