For some reason Fred still gets to hang out at the Playboy mansion. I actually met Fred at Ozzfest 98 in Pittsburgh and he signed my lineup card, no lie, “Fred Sux”…. how ironic.

Back to basketball again. Someone above mentioned that it was good that SA was missing Bob tomorrow night. Does he really even matter other then when down by 3 with time winding down in the game anyway??? Back in the Houston days he was an aight player but now just a 3 pt shooter and cheap shot artist.

Oh and back to the LP cd, Most of the album that “sound like could easily be outtakes from Shinoda’s Fort Minor project” is probably because Shinoda helped produce the album. What DOES surprise me as that this is a Rick Rubin album which normally means its edgy and damn good. I shall listen to it tomorrow and form my own opinion.

I totally admit to liking Linkin Park (and I am in my mid 30’s) and by my title I also used to like Limp Bizkit back in the day when they too were creative and not sell-outs. I guess I’ll illegally DL the album now instead of wasting my coin, and they wonder why we do that. Cause most albums nowadays suck, unless they’re a new band. Remember thinkign that you got a steal when the first Godsmack CD was only $9.99?? Or the first Papa Roach CD?- lots of angst there. Speaking of Papa Roach, why do most sophomore efforts suck? Papa’s second album blew as does the new Crossfade. These type of things sadden me.

Oh yeah, basketball. I feel that Marion is the key. If he’s so pissed off at being dissed, left out etc then why doesn’t he COMMAND the ball?? 20 pts first half and like 4 in the second. Even though he has eaily the ugliest shot this side of Bill Cartwright he is still young and explosive that can shoot as well as drive to the hole- Dantoni…. USE HIM!!!

-CC: I will not apologize for memorizing Linkin Park’s “In The End” like an addiction. Hey we were all 15 yrs old once right??

-No doubt, I think Stoudamire has some thunder from down under he’d like to unleash (he’s Australian right?)

FREE STEVEN DOUGLAS KERR!

The Suns can pull this one out of the crapper with Diaw and Stoudemire back for Game 6. If they do that, the series goes back to Phoenix for G7. Faith…

Wait…oh god, you don’t admit to actually listening to Linkin Park, do you Howie? Their audience is angry teenagers. You’re better than that, dude. Besides, they didn’t do anything rap/rock before 311. Those guys were pretty cool.

Kerr is really good. I’d love to hear him uncensored. There’s so much he’s holding back being on national TV. “Gregg Popovich is not happy with that sequence at all. Brent Barry is getting the quick hook for what Pop would call “playing with your ass hat on.” Just an unfortunate sequence for San Antonio…”

-A.M..: Totally, that’s a good point. But I mean, for better or worse, the Mash Up with Jay-Z stuff was only a couple of years old, that was some very inspired stuff (I know a lot folks hated that.. but I liked it).
So I guess my concern is that their new album doesn’t “feel” or “sound” like anything I’d think “LINKIN PARK”: crazy, creative and inventive. I don’t mind if they have a more ‘grown up’ conscience, but in MtM, the core element of LP’s smart tune (things we haven’t heard before) seems missing.

Great post. About Linkin Park: as I’ve said in some other forums already, most of these guys are into their 30s now (I believe only one of the six is still in his late 20s). I don’t know about you, but wouldn’t it be a little awkward to see these guys rockin’ the spiky hair and black glasses and yelling “Shut up when I’m talking to you!”? I know it’s not the old LP, but man, on the other hand, it’s embarrassing to see rock stars singing the same sh*t for years.
