The Only Baggage You Can Bring

Chester Bennington is postponing his solo project's - Snow White Tan - debut album for almost an entire year. Sad news - or so I thought. Because it seems that this is because he's going to be working on Linkin Park's third real full-length CD all spring and summer, shooting for an earlier autumn release. Great news, indeed. Rick Rubin and Mike Shinoda (Who recently turned 29 by the way. Congrats!) will be producing the album together. Yes, THE Rick Rubin. Is that my crotch exploding in delight? Oh yes. Yes, it is.
After growing more and more bored with my playlist I decided to dig deep in my collection to find something to freshen up my musical ears. Truly, I struck gold. I found my old Fight Club soundtrack, produced and performed by The Dust Brothers. A brilliant little piece of movie music. Well worth checking out for anyone who has even the slightest affection for good trip-hop (Is it trip-hop, though? I'm not sure, but it does lean in that direction at least..).
Also, My Chemical Romance is growing on me slowly. Sometimes it's just nice to jump around and scream carelessly together with some pale, black-haired college emo-howler. "It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Death Wish" is a fantastic song title as well.
