Mike and Chester's iTunes Top Album List. Dark As Day confirmation.
Thursday, August 5, 2010

After Mike asked the fans to help make his 'top album' list on iTunes, he finally decided on an option that brings the best of both worlds. From Mike's blog:

HELP ME MAKE MY “TOP ALBUMS” LIST

August 4, 2010

For an upcoming promotion with iTunes, I need to come up with a list. 15 albums, tied together by a theme. Which of the following themes seems the most interesting to you guys? Vote, and I’ll make that list, to put up on iTunes.

M. Shinoda: Top 15 albums...




EDIT: it looks like the “surprising” list is in the lead…in the comments, tell me what albums you THINK I listen to. If you’re right, I’ll make sure not to include them on the list.

EDIT 2: We decided that since the “surprising” list and the “influence” list were both so popular…Chester is going to do the “surprising albums” list, and I’ll do a “songs that inspired me” list. Best of both worlds…Thanks for your help!

It's very considerate of Mike to come up with this decision, even though we here at Bennoda.com are not very surprised seeing Chester's name. I wish Mike would do the "I paint to" list and Chester the "surprising list", but the major wins, so hopefully we can get to see their lists soon.

Mike also updated his twitter with a retweet from Stryker relating to Prop 8. Nice move ;)

TedStryker Dear Richard Simmons, its legal now, just pop the question and I'm ready. #prop8

LPAssociation has an interview with Dark As Day's director Levi Holiman where the director confirmed Chester's appearance on the movie but was not sure about Mike, also claimed to be an avid listener of Mike's music

- On how Levi met Chester, and involved him within the project:
Chester and I went to High School together in AZ. I had written the "Dark as Day" script, 5 years ago, after moving to Los Angeles. I ran into Chester on the set of "Bleed it out." We hadn't seen each other since 96 maybe? So I told him about the script and asked if he'd be interested in reading it. He gave me his info and I sent it to him.

About a week later, he emailed me and agreed to play a part in the film. We initially wanted to see if he would be good for the lead but because of his busy schedule, he felt it would be better for him to make an appearance in the film rather than committing to the lead. Understandable.


- On whether or not Mike Shinoda will be involved:
I don't know Mike Shinoda though. As far as I know, Chester will be the only one from LP involved. I do love Mike and his music. SOB is one of my favorite groups. I listen to "Second to none" almost everyday on my ipod.


- On Mike's name being listed on IMDB:
I just checked imdb and have no idea how Mike's name got on the castlist. It would be great to have Mike but I have no other information on that.
