where did he confirm it... twitter? yeah sad. insular single releases like that are just not as memorable. i understand if he doesn't want to tour, that takes time and effort to setup after all but all this talk about a "new era" just makes me think of a set of songs, at least an EP, not just one (kind of short) track

the marblehunt thingy: https://app.marblever.se/channel/HEdRhzkBuMPHion3L there was a clip from the meteora making of, ~30s from a performance of the song in seoul and on some of them this kind of trivia

did somebody download all those bits of trivia about the songs? some of it was new to me at least

pretty dope that he has the james jean poster on his wall

do you not think this is kind of normal for him? also considering they're on lock down in LA too... Mike's making music all the time and all of the things he was working on the past week were "only" jams/ideas (with the exception of open door) I am excited to see what he does in the future though... seems like another solo album is on the menu for sure

this is so cool. always loved the look into the studio and this is just as personal as it gets. I hope he does create a twitch account or something like that

So good to see you back! 🎉

Phoenix guests on the Bruery podcast. Talks about beer, golf and music... *note: I'd never heard this story about his nickname. All you ever hear is that he got it because of a tattoo

Thanks! Ordered it Looks good. What's the font you used here?

If anybody is looking for a cover to put on this as well... https://www.instagram.com/p/BavTxb-lKKB/ By James Jean (the guy who's art was used for the Hunting Party cycle artwork) Posted on the day of the concert.

Have you listened to this guys soundcloud? It would have looked soo out of place between mostly "big-ish" acts on there...

God this is so random I actually can't believe it. So it seems like this small and at least to me unknown German techno producer Charly Beck is going to release an official remix of Burn It Down tomorrow. Official as in - with blessing of the band - or rather the label. I only found out about because the producer he collaborated with did an interview with a local newspaper. Here is the Soundcloud of the techno guy. This will be the 12th remix of Burn It Down released...the list of all official LP remixes can be found here. Check out the "professional" cover for it: This is as about as random as it gets, but here is a clip from the newspaper article interview: "Döllstädt, home to Martin von Auen. In the music scene, his name is not unheard of. Producers call him to get his opinion about their songs, as he himself says. Most recently he joined Stuttgart musician Charly Beck on a remix of the song "Burn It Down" by Linkin Park. Back in school he mostly got E's in music class. Von Auen and Beck had almost given up hope. "It took eight weeks until we heard back from Linkin Park. We participated in a public tender and ultimately then got the chance. Especially Charly had already given up on it" recalls von Auen. Although they never met Linkin Park in person, this is song can't be published under the big name Linkin Park by anybody else. "And they also keep a big portion of the money too", informed us the humble von Auen, whose name is not even to be found on the cover of the CD. He says: "I must not always be in the spotlight, because that way you don't end up doing stupid things. And I'd rather myself. In addition, I fulfilled my own childhood desires and we'll see what comes up with my music." With one of his next projects he wants to support a certain Konrad Bergen the coming year. "The guy is celebrated in Holland and Poland at the moment" according von Auen. He also just appeared on the popular CD "D.Trance 72. "Next year I will try to manage him and make him more known in Germany too"." Well, there's always more where that came from.

I just don't like the direction this is going... When I look back Fort Minor, TO ME, was about Mike and SOB and a bunch of guests. I mean they were on so many songs, they were on the mixtape, they were in the videos... And this is why I thought naming the project FM was also a nice way of giving credit to those guys, even if Mike didn't intend to do that with the name. Still there is Kenji which is such a personal song for Mike and it too goes under the label 'Fort Minor'. So for me the problem lies not within Mike doing solo stuff under Fort Minor and cutting Ryus verse but I think it is just disrespectful to Ryu not to tell him. I really hope Mike respondes to Ryu and explains the whole situation. It would be sad if they mess up all chances for a future collaboration between them

The way Mike talks about it sounds like it is a very personal song for him so I agree But I also think Ryu is an amazing artist and I hope the two work together on future projects! Also... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgNKMVYR4qk
