new comments rule, yoskay commission
September 25, 2008 41 CommentsFIRSTLY, we have a new rule here for comments. you'll notice under "Post a Comment" it says:
One post per person, and please don't go over the character limit, or split posts into multiple entries. To post a comment on this site you will need to be a member of the Linkin Park Network.
this is a polite request, to eliminate all the multiple-post entries in the comments section. it seems that when one person monopolizes the whole comments page, it turns some other people off. personally, i don't mind people having a lot to say, but i challenge you to simplify it into a something that fits into the character limit. if you find you simply have a lot to say, then feel free to do your thing on your own blog, or the linkinpark.com message boards, and link to your post from here.
next:
when i saw how amazing his projekt rev poster was coming out, i asked yoskay yamamoto if he's consider doing a painting on commission for me. i got it today. looks so great!

music for relief + hurricane ike
September 17, 2008 32 CommentsMUSIC FOR RELIEF IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE RECOVERY EFFORTS OF DIRECT RELIEF INTERNATIONAL
Direct Relief International is preparing additional emergency medical material assistance to assist health centers and evacuation shelters serving those affected by Hurricane Ike, which made landfall in Galveston, Texas Friday evening as a Category Two storm. Four sites received specifically requested materials today via overnight airfreight, generously donated by FedEx:
* Amistad Community Health Center, Corpus Christi, TX * Texas Association of Community Health Centers (TACHC) Distribution Center, Austin, TX * Primary Health Services Center, Monroe, LA * United Community Health Center, Eunice, LASince September 1, Direct Relief has supplied its medical safety-net partners in Texas and Louisiana with nearly $400,000 in medical material aid to assist their response to Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. Two members of Direct Relief’s domestic programs team are in Louisiana surveying evacuation centers and clinics throughout the week. Many evacuation shelters set up for Gustav are now serving those affected by Ike.
SITUATION IN COASTAL TX & LA: At least 100,000 homes were inundated by surging waters in southeastern Texas as a result of Hurricane Ike, the city ofGalveston and other coastal communities were devastated by floods. As of Tuesday 9/16 more than 30,000 evacuees are still living in nearly 300 public shelters, and roughly 2 million people in Texas alone are without power.
SITUATION IN HAITI: Four storms - Fay, Gustav, Hanna and Ike - have hit Haiti since mid-August, killing over 600 people and affecting hundreds of thousands more. Severe flooding and lack of infrastructure have made it hard to deliver relief to many of the worst affected places, including the port city of Gonaives. Aid workers said tens of thousands of people were huddled in shelters with no food, water, sleeping mats or latrines.

busta leaving projekt revolution
July 27, 2008 65 Commentsbusta rhymes has unfortunately had to leave projekt revolution. we were all extremely disappointed to see him go; we enjoyed the energy and personality he brought to the tour, and we looked forward to playing "we made it" on stage with him each night. his departure was due to a number of complicated business matters that were out of anyone's control. we hope to cross paths with busta again soon!

PROJEKT REVOLUTION BOSTON
July 17, 2008 63 Commentsa portion of the review of the 1st projekt revolution show in boston...
LINKIN PARK PROJEKTS IMAGE OF SUCCESS
"It takes titanic theatrics to wow a crowd before the sun goes down, and Busta Rhymes’ set was adequately animated.
On “Scenario,” which dropped before many in the crowd were born, and through more recent cuts such as “Break Ya Neck,” Rhymes touched ladies without alienating guys. The man doesn’t just rap, he miraculously manipulates his mind, mouth and microphone.
Brooklyn’s The Bravery opened with its barroom anthem, “Believe,” and worked through the hilariously titled “Every Word From Your Mouth Is a Knife In My Ear.”
Ex-Soundgarden and Audioslave front man Chris Cornell followed with a strong hour of old and new material, from “Black Hole Sun” to songs off his upcoming third solo disc. Cornell’s cool Euro look and hard, angelic vocals still get girls gushing and guys envying - especially when Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington joined him for Temple of the Dog’s “Hunger Strike.”
Aside from the obligatory light display and a colorful intro by the percussionist trio Street Drum Corps,Linkin Park came with no gimmicks - just a recognizable catalogue 10 times deeper than the band’s early critics would have ever imagined.
It’s hard to admit this, but watching Linkin Park tear up their set last night led to one conclusion: The California-born rap-rockers have evolved into everything a stadium band should be: anomalously audible, sincere and, most importantly, metaphysically connected to their maniacal fans.
Linkin Park, with Busta Rhymes, Chris Cornell, The Bravery and others. At the Comcast Center, Mansfield, last night."
