Linkin Park 8 Bit Rebellion Announcement

March 29, 2010

Hi Everyone,

My bandmates and I are thrilled to announce our game, “Linkin Park 8 Bit Rebellion,” will finally be out late this month for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.  In the game, you’ll battle enemies and solve mysteries in order to stop an evil corporation’s mass-brainwashing campaign.  Here’s some other stuff you’ll find:

- an 8 Bit version of each member of Linkin Park
- new 8 Bit versions of some of our most popular songs
- characters and art designed by the band
- a brand new Linkin Park song, entitled “Blackbirds,” waiting for you at the end.

Besides being being the first game to contain a new, exclusive LP track, this game is a “first” in other ways: it’s the first massively multiplayer music artist app, our first game, and will be in the first wave of games designed for the iPad.

Look out for it later in the month, and feel free to tell some friends.

Thanks,
-Mike

Ben Folds Chat Roulette

March 26, 2010

If you don’t know what CHAT ROULETTE is: you sign on and randomly get thrown into a chat with someone.  If you don’t like the chat, you can skip them and jump to a new chatter.  At face value, it’s really risky, because you can jump to a chat and just get shown a penis or something…but it can be really funny.  Especially if you’re good at playing piano and improvising some words to sing over it:

Ben Folds Live + Chat Roulette = a good time.  Well done.

LP Live Archives Now Available

March 18, 2010

Fans have been asking for it, so here it is: a full online catalog of our live performance recordings from 2007-2009. In case you missed these: each one was recorded at the venue and mixed my our official front of house mixer (the guy who mixes our shows).

You can go to http://downloads.linkinpark.com and get any show for $9.99. Buy 5, get the 6th one free. And just for some extra flavor, anyone who buys one will get a membership to the LP Underground fan club for one month…and anyone who buys 5 gets a year LPU online free ($15 value).
Also, if you buy one, that means you’ll be an LPU member, which means you can enter the guest blogger contest I mentioned here.

Don’t know which to get? Try Atlanta GA, August 2007. Maybe Madison Square Garden, 2/21/2008 (with a guest appearance from Jay-Z). Maybe Osaka, August 2009…So many good ones to choose from.

EDIT: This is the full catalog of everything we’ve got. I know there are some missing shows. That’s because some shows weren’t able to be recorded for various reasons (things like technical difficulties or limitations by the venue, etc.).

I need a guest blogger.  So this month, our LPUnderground fan club is hosting a contest to fill the position.

Here’s the deal: you have to be a member of LPU, and you have to have seen our band play live.  You post a blog entry on your site or ours, and let us know about it.

Five winners get a prize pack, but the top entry gets re-posted here as a guest post on mikeshinoda.com for all to see.  Sound awesome?  That’s because it is.
