Mike posted another post on the LPU MB mentioning Chester's and his work on the LPU 8 CD which actually has been recorded in the past several years. I think this is all that needs to be said.
LPU COOKIES CD
Changed my mind...I'm not going to post about this on my blog, because my blog is about my own personal stuff, and this discussion is LPU. That said, feel free to direct other LPUMB peeps to this post.
A refresher (bear with me): LP Underground membership includes opportunities to buy tickets for shows before anyone else, opportunities to meet the band and sometimes see secret, fan-club-only shows, an annual newsletter, a letter from the band, an exclusive ringtone, and exclusive access to the fan club website at lpunderground.com, where you can get exclusive and discounted merchandise and see exclusive audio and video clips. It also includes a CD of music. The membership fee for the LPU gets you everything mentioned above.
We've done LPU-only shows, we take time out to meet LPU members before virtually every performance, and we even occasionally have special events that are for the fan-club only.
In previous years, we've released LPU CDs that contain b-sides, live tracks, and lesser-known songs from the band. This year, we have decided to do something totally unprecedented and unexpected. The LPU8 CD contains six totally new, original studio songs that Chester and I recorded in our free time in the past couple of years. But these aren't normal Linkin Park songs.
Working on a song for an album is sometimes a lot of work, and occasionally we need some time to unwind. When Chester and I unwind, sometimes we make another kind of lighter, fun song. We call these songs "cookies." I think came from the idea that you get your dessert (your cookies) after you eat all the rest of your meal.
The songs on the LPU8 CD are random, silly, and they fall into a variety of styles, from a James-Brown-Meets-Bobby-McFerrin track called "You Ain't Gotsta Gotsta" to a mock electro-club-banger called "26 Lettaz In Da Alphabet."
In general, the point of the LPU is to offer the fans a closer look into what makes the band tick, a few great exclusive merchandise items, and sometimes the added bonus of a special event. We essentially don't make any money from it; each fee pays for the fan club (like materials and minimal administration). The fans asked for a place where they could "get more," so we offer the LPU.
That's all I've got to say for now. If you have further discussion on the subject, please continue to do so here on the LPUMB. You are all welcome to voice whatever opinions you like, just keep it respectful and smart.
Thanks!
