Zara from mikeshinodaclan.com just tweeted this concert review from Linkin Park's show in Dallas. It's pretty on point and funny at all the right places, so read! Thanks, Zara!
I’m not saying he’s not a man’s man, but Chester Bennington used to drive a sparkly silver PT Cruiser. I know this because he used to live next door to my good friend, and he did not utilize his parking garage. But perhaps he doesn’t need a fancy SUV; he has the grandeur of a world tour, and an arena full of cheering fans that live for the sensation that is Linkin Park. A show postponed by a bout of illness, the size of the audience at American Airlines Center has not been thwarted. “You ready to have some fun?” Chester asks the crowd. As the band opens with “Faint,” his vocals prove to be a bit ahead of the beat, but unharmed, nonetheless. ...
Two days ago, Linkin Park rocked their hometown Los Angeles - one of many dates of their North American Tour 2011. There have been a lot of good reviews, but what about all those people that went there and didn't write lengthy reviews on their blogs? One medium that captures single moments in the life of us "regular" people (and the "un-regular", too, sometimes) is Twitter. So here is the first (at least the first I know of) concert review in Tweets! Follow all those people, because they must be cool - they were at a Linkin Park show!

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!...
