From Mike's chat December 9th 2009
zara19 : Hi Mike, on the songs that you've completed for the album do you rap on them or does Chester take the lead vocals? Thanks for chatting with us, Zara from the Mike Shinoda Clan
mshinoda : We're working on 5 songs in particular right now. One has a lot of rapping. Chester and I sing back and forth on one. We sing together on one, and he sings the other two.
We have heard Mike and Chester joining vocals in one song before - but mostly with Mike or Ches being the backing vocal when the other is the dominant voice. A song with both of them together sounds like a VERY good idea (if the song makes its way to the album, out of all those demos). Cross fingers?

Among other things, I got a Nord Electro 3 for Christmas. I can't wait to start using it...we're moving on from the last batch of songs (5) to a new batch. I don't know what songs will be in the new batch. We have about 15 contenders, with some brand new gems that I worked on with Chester and Brad. The first LP studio meeting of 2010 is next Monday, so we'll vote on it then.
They are working hard on the new album. Back in 2005, 2006, 2007, I have seen those new album promises being broken, can we really have a 2010 album? I do hope so.
2010, we're coming!
