Giving up by, Linkin Park
Excellent suggestion, but for some reason this one always cracks me up. I know it’s not supposed to.
If you like Deftones, Tool, Alice in Chains, Linkin Park, or 30 Seconds to Mars, check out this band called Message to Venus. If you like them, please vote: http://poll.pollcode.com/54rjv
A gift for those of us who are single today. ♥
Linkin Park - Wisdom, Justice, and Love
In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
A great article from The Huffington Post about Linkin Park and Incubus’ non-profit organizations and all the wonderful partnerships they had during the tour.

Day 18: A song from the year that you were born.
The year? Nah, I don’t think so. But I can offer something related to the month and day I was born, February 14. It’s a sad song, since Valentine’s Day can be rough if you have to spend it alone, and all the more so if it’s also your birthday. So I think I’ll dedicate it to the person who did a good deed by making sure I wasn’t alone on the most recent Valentine’s Day. Just by coincidence, he also happens to be my favorite Linkin Park fan. He knows who he is. ♥

Mutemath - Drum Trio
Alpharetta, Georgia, August 19, 2012
Let’s not forget these guys from New Orleans, who are opening for Incubus and Linkin Park this summer. They played for what seemed like only a few short minutes last Sunday, so the only decent video I managed to get was this pretty cool drum trio with some sort of homegrown synthesizer, I think. Incidentally, my understanding is that they are sometimes classified as a Christian band, but they’re not up in your face about it, which is a good thing. Listen to their song Odd Soul and see if you don’t think they sound a little like the Black Keys.

Linkin Park - When They Come For Me
Alpharetta, Georgia, August 19, 2012
Incubus is a pretty tough act to follow, but if anyone can pull it off it’s Linkin Park. I’m not as well-versed in their catalog as I am in that of Incubus, but the 11-hour drive to Atlanta gave me plenty of time to brush up. Hard-core fans may scoff, but so far I think my favorite album is A Thousand Suns, which was well represented at the concert. Most of the people in front of me came and went throughout the Incubus portion of the show, but returned in full force for LP and stayed put, so I didn’t have much of a window to take video. I was determined to get this one, though - one of their most interesting songs, I think.

My camera always, always dies during the last song of any concert, so forgive the abrupt ending, but you’ll probably be in such a complete trance by then that there won’t be much that can bother you. Don’t stay zoned out for too long, though. As if the evening hadn’t already been awesome enough, Linkin Park was up next, and I had another memory card in my purse. More video shortly…
