REMIX POST TRAUMATIC - Presented By AltWire

The latter part certainly feels like it. Because I apologize if you feel it's counter intuitive, but you're a public representatives for the judging committee and your staff is basically inferring that Mike didn't know what he was doing in picking that remix, or worse...in the case of Soul...seemingly insinuating the whole thing was rigged or a sham. I'm not going to take accusations like that lying down at all. Not when I put my blood sweat and tears into making sure everything went as smoothly as possible with this. I pulled a few all nighters to make this perfect and I'd appreciate it some of your staff members didn't try to tarnish what was meant to be a positive moment for the fans.

That is out of my control that the remixes haven't been put up on the site yet, and that minimal words were said about the results. What I put on AltWire (remixes posted on MS.com, winners being announced on Mike's socials) were what I was told would happen. It's beyond my ability to control it. And secondly, Mike is a busy guy. He's working on a solo album and other things. Perhaps he just didn't have time.

Me too. I intended this to be a positive experience for the fanbase, something for everyone to come together and celebrate some incredible music that was made to honor and remember one of the greatest performers that ever lived. I was excited at how well everything went, and then...this thread happened. I am beyond disappointed and am turned off doing this again in the future.

 

No.

 

Lmao oh my god, I'm dying. Just what exactly are you guys hoping to find in these emails? I'm seriously confused. Can someone clearly explain to me what the actual "sham" / "setup" is? Just what exactly do you guys think happened? I'm begging for anyone to explain this clearly to me at this point.

 

Apparently I'm Hillary Clinton and I have a treasure trove of damning emails.

#buthisemails

*EDIT* I've changed my mind reopened this thread. Not because I want the argument to continue, but because I will not let a few misinformed people ruin what was meant to be a positive experience for the fans.

 

View Hahninator's post above. It's coming from a party not connected to LPA or AltWire in any way and should quash any thoughts about this contest not being 'clean'.

 

I hope this is a lesson to think before you speak in the future Pat. Your original post started a firestorm of false and hurtful allegations against my character and the integrity of AW/LPA that we are still dealing with hours later. We now have people demanding to see private emails, and your words may have caused permanent doubt against me/AW, when they had no reason to feel that way before. The fact that you didn't even receive a warning for the firestorm you caused, when you're very well deserving of it, is a showcase of how lenient we are being. And considering our integrity has been called into question multiple times, we really aren't required to be lenient. We are however, choosing to be. To try and resolve this all peacefully.

But seriously dude, you CANNOT keep doing this crap. There was no need for it. Not even remotely.

 

SOMEONE SNITCHED.

 

Most of it was simple planning about the contest. The actual moment of the pick itself consisted of him saying all remixes were fantastic, and that his pick was Mac Oddy. That's it. Satisfied? There's nothing super juicy or exciting that you guys missed. I promise you this.

But seriously, this took a lot of guts and strength for Mike Shinoda to allow some very dark, deeply personal and emotional songs of his to be remixed and reinterpreted by complete strangers. And the two hundred plus people who entered? Did an incredible job of honoring the man. There were so many remixes that were so incredibly good, and so well made, that I wish everyone could've won something from Mike.

This is what we should be focusing on: how incredibly well this contest went and how absolutely talented people were, INCLUDING the winner.

 

Well, I cleared up the very non-juicy, and very non-scandolous answer to that in the post above yours and disappointed everyone who was hoping it would be the next 2016 Election Email Scandal. Hopefully people can drop this now .
