...Linkin Park Association! Yes, I know there are other great sites, and I love them all, but I've decided to support the LPA for the following reasons:
- their forum is great! I don't think that there's a forum on any other LP site that has so many members, so no matter what Linkin Park news surface, you always have someone to talk about it there. Also, they've been very helpful in solving those funny little puzzles LP threw our way.
- through the years, they've managed to obtain some great exclusives for us!
- they always manage to engage the fans with some funny stuff e.g. the monthly remix contest
- fast news & tour updates. I especially love the live setlist tweeting during LP shows
- Try the Ketchup, Motherfucker!
So after all the schmoozing, here's what you have to do! Preorder Linkin Park's upcoming album "LIVING THINGS" via this link:

Most Linkin Park fans know Adam Ruehmer, but for those who don't, he's pretty much the guy you turn to whenever there's a question about the fan club, live shows, ticket sale, etc.
Galesburg's local newspaper, The Register-Mail, featured a little article about his work on their website, which also says that Adam will blog from the road for them! Things to look forward to!
Here's the article:
Galesburg’s Adam Ruehmer told me recently he will accompany Linkin Park on its world tour this year. A 2002 GHS graduate, Adam is marketing manager for the band. “Our first leg takes us all over Europe, from Lisbon, to Moscow, even to Romania. I leave in a month. Following that, we’re doing a huge U.S. tour with the band Incubus in August.” All tour dates are up at www.linkinpark.com/events/event/listFeatured. Adam has agree to blog from the Linkin Park world tour for galesburg.com, so check back for updates. Meanwhile, I asked Adam to fill us in on his duties with Linkin Park: My official title is Marketing Manager for Linkin Park Strategic Marketing. It’s a mouthful, I know. Here’s what that means: ...
Alex Band, who is struggling to build a career as an independent artist after his huge success with The Calling, has had a few problems last year. Some concerts in Germany had to be cancelled because Alex had some health issues and he took a little social media time out to get better.
The time out is over now, because Alex posted this message a few days ago:
Hey everyone! Long time no talk!!! It truly warms my heart to know that my absence has weighed just as heavy on all of you as it has on me. I want you to all know, that each and every one of you have been in my heart and on my mind every single day over these last few crazy months that were filled with some of the most difficult and greatest experiences of my life. I’m so happy to say that I’m truly now 100% back in business, feeling better than ever, and at the most exciting point in my career thus far. I’m VERY ready to give you guys a taste of what’s in-store from my insanely talented new band and I: Sean Kipe (Lead Guitar), Art Pacheco (Drums) and Simon Huber (Bass/Strings). We have been working day and night writing and recording my awesome brand new album, right here in my newly-built, unbelievably beautiful, and fully-functioning recording studio of my dreams (check out some pictures I just took here: http://on.fb.me/HB7pKm . My cats and I were literally living inside the new recording studio (aptly called “Studio A”) for over 3 months, while I was building it from the ground up; all while I was also finishing the 5 song Killer Tracks half album, which by the way will be out soon. WORLDWIDE, on iTunes for you all to purchase....
