Shadow of the Day enters the top 50 of the hot 100 at #50

 

Oy I feel stupid now.

 

Despite having the #1 selling album of 2007 and Chester/Shinoda announcing Grammy nominations , Linkin Park got 0 nominations. Talk about a huge snub.

Hey so what, Lp already owns 2 Grammy's, Minutes to Midnight isn't really groundbreaking-Grammy worthy material like they usually write anyway, and they still have a great chance at wining this best Fuse artist of 2007 award, right now they are beating av7x by 10 %!

 

Guys, we need a miracle for LP to win against KorN. They had 200k votes for them alone while LP had 100k in thier quarter matches.

LP neck and neck with Avenged Sevenfold in the third round of Fuse's Best of 2007 contest. Voting ends December 11th. LP got subbed at the Grammies, let's help them win something for their efforts!

 

Well still 4 days to go but they should go to the quarter finals

 

Maybe true. I think it's exciting that two of the best bands ever, Korn and Lp are about to face each other off. KoRn is an awesome band, but I believe that Linkin Park is just that much better then KoRn to possibly even beat them by a vote or two in my opinion. Besides KoRn is really old and washed up now, what does KoRn have to do with 2007? Lp is still somewhat in their prime. But I say "May the best band win".

Oh yeah btw, tell me again why someone can't post the fuse thing here on the front news page? Why else do you think it is that KoRn is geting so many votes and Lp isn't? KoRn's fan's spread the word better on kornspace.com about the fuse thing. Kornspace.com is like Korn's Lptimes, their fans read it at least once a day, PLUS KoRn sent out a bulletin on their myspace saying "please vote for us", and all Linkin Park did was post it on the street team website, so of course KoRn are going to get more votes than Lp and win if we don't quickly decide to spread the word more.

I don't even think our entire fanbase is aware of the fuse thing, like KoRn's is. I think it should be posted on the front news page of lptimes and lpassociation.com if we expect to beat a band as big as KoRn and I think this news is signifigant enough to post on here if Lp made it this far in the competition.

 

I'm quite sure this isn't newsworthy, but I think deserves some kind of attention.

Anyways, my brother recently gave me Ryohei Yamamoto's cover of "Numb" from his new album Cavaca 2.

A preview of the song can be found in this video: here

It's at 2:30 of the video.
I'm not sure of the forum rules concerning links to files and things, so I'll put the full one up if anybody's interested. I found it interesting because Ryohei is a pretty well known Japanese male singer and it's an unexpected choice for a cover.

 

By the way, Live in Texas was just certified Platinum in the US.

only took a little over 4 years, but GO LP! I think that makes all released records; platinum records...?

Mike produced 2 songs on Lupe Fiasco's album The Cool, which releases on the 18th next week. The songs are called "Intruder Alert" and "Fighters" . It says that on wiki, and i've known for a while through other sites but i can't find them right now. I guess if you guys don't trust wiki, although the tracklist has been confirmed and it matches the leaked albums tracklist, you can just wait until the album comes out and when I buy it for me to confirm it lol

heres the wiki link anyway

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cool


Lupe Fiasco = best rapper alive

 

I've been watching the Wiki article on The Cool lately for new information, and honestly, I have no clue if the Mike production is accurate information or not. At first it said that Mike would be producing 2 tracks, then when the full tracklisting was confirmed, his name was nowhere to be found, but then when the album leaked he popped back up again. I'm just gonna wait until the album actually comes out so somebody can check the liner notes and confirm it for sure.

 

I don't know if this counts, but when Lupe came to UNT for a promo conference, I got to ask him if Mike is producing anything and he said, "Nope, he's gonna be on the album after The Cool."

But nobody seems to take my word
