Linkin Park's mastermind (I love that word) Mike Shinoda is celebrating his 34th birthday today!
Yes, he's that old! You wouldn't believe it if you'd see him jumping around on stage with his purple sunglasses! Maybe he'll write us a blog post with his anti-age secrets e.g drink only pure spring water, solve ten Sudoku puzzles a day, Botox etc. !
Now that you know it's his birthday you must be asking yourself what kind of present you could give to him. Well, fortunately I've recently rummaged through the Shinoda's garbage and found Mike's wish list!
As an exclusive of AdieK84's Blog I'am so nice to post his 10 wishes here:
1. New sunglasses (preferably purple or blue)
2. Shirt (plaid)
3. Starbucks lifetime Gift Card
4. Real laser gun
5. Gloves matching the winter hat
6. Duet with Justin Bieber ("Baby" or "Somebody to Love")
7. Special performance of the "Double Dream Hands" guy on my B-Day party
8. Law that forbids amtrak to sell turkey meatloaf
9. A haircut
10. 10.000 liter fish tank with my own sushi cook
So go ahead and send Mike all this stuff! His adress is:
Michael Kenji Shinoda
CENSORED
Los Angeles, California
My package is already on the way (I made Justin Bieber dance the "Double Dream Hands" Dance)! If you don't have the time to send him something you could try to make #HappyBDayMikeShinoda a trending topic on Twitter!
We made it! In Brazil at least:
To celebrate the awesome existance of the HOLY SHINODA here are some really nice images that depict Mike's evolution!...
There have been lots of Linkin Park news in the last days, and as usual I post a little news roundup to keep you all updated.
1. Yesterday, Mike made lots of fans happy by visiting the LPU Chat. The MSC posted a good summary about what was said: ...
The Chicago Sun Times published this very interesting article about Linkin Park's marketing strategies:
Linkin Park wasn’t supposed to still be around. Appearing on the scene in 2000, the band barely distinguished itself from its contemporaries in rap-rock, the harsh hybrid of rage and rhyme that ruled the airwaves at the turn the century with chart-topping and aptly named bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit. But Linkin Park possesses commercial instincts the others didn’t. From the 2000 debut of “Hybrid Theory,” a multiplatinum cash cow whose liner notes started a band tradition of providing lengthy product endorsements, through a new album, the kinder and gentler “A Thousand Suns,” Linkin Park has sought to express its angst, sure, but always just within the confines of what sells....
