LPA Ghost Town Podcast MP3 Now Available for Download!

Wow Sarah, nice work!

 

Thanks

But my notes aren't even finished (yes there's more).

edit:

---> They like to have a sense of humour when it comes to things even despite censoring laws.
---> It is hard to push the emotional distress onto the audience as to say something is hard to watch which was the intended purpose of how information is lost and distorted.
---> It is a necessary evil to give into a certain amount of censorship.
---> It was their goal from the start concerning the whole behind the scenes going down to avoid the typical happy smiles thing happening. It was basically an opportunity to try and integrate the highs and lows of making an album, especially concerning a band as big as Linkin Park.
---> They could've chosen to release a different version but they wanted to approach the new DVD and album as an indication to what the band is really like especially since they have been for years. There is still a lot of control that the world expects them to go into a certain direction and its hard to resist at times.
---> Don't watch it and then forget about it Ghost Town strongly advises; that's disrespectful. Have an opinion because the aim was to attact the audience to that certain degree of headspace.
---> They could've done Meteora Part 2, but showed the world that they had changed.
---> Ghost Town grew up with Linkin Park, even everyone having Hybrid Theory.
---> They couldn't believe that they were sitting in the room with them for the first time because of the influence they've had on Ghost Town's individual upringing.
---> Other bands that influenced them were Napalm Death and Fear Factory due to their teenage angst years.
---> It was a breath of fresh air for both the band and Ghost Town to shoot this new album; they had to give them all they had to bring a fresh wave to Linkin Park's image.
---> A piece of advice that Ghost Town can give to aspiring Freelancers, is that it's a hard fight to the end. Look for internships, even though they are hard to find sometimes, they are well worth the effort.
--> Have a strong vision, and determination as these things will make you money. Just remember to eat to keep your energy up, because sleep deprivation will kick in. Prove to yourself that you can do it.
---> Just because you sit at a computer doesn't make it easy.
---> Without passion, the industry will kill you.
---> It is easy to validate your hours if you get lots of results and feedback. It's worth it when you see 80 million have viewed your videos or there is a sold out concert containing your work. It helps you wake up in the morning after a 2 hour sleep with a 22 hour work day.
---> Ghost Town goes through about 600 imagery/articles a day before they go into the office that day. They feed constantly on new music and imagery to function; they have to view it for inspiration to keep their minds active and going.
---> People within the industry are always being viewed and criticised by Ghost Town and they wonder if they can possibly emulate such a look and they seek out to interpret it in their style.
---> Ghost Town are self proclaimed nerds; and being outside of work is a very small amount of time for them. Gambling, playing poker, the normal chilling and relax routine.
---> Their ages range from 28-36; with Ghost Town being founded when a member was as young as 23.
---> Zak gets quoted "this gives me hope".
---> If you can take your mistakes and learn from them, you will eventually come through. It takes time and determination. You're not always going to get something right the first time.
---> At the end of the day, the most successful faces in any industry are just people.
---> They never really grew past 90s rock; bands like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. With Metallica having a honorable mention
---> At the office they play a lot of Bullet Storm, Resident Evil 5, Starcraft and Dragon Age. Any Bio Age (Bioshock in particular) games are played.
---> Louis's tradition is yell out Metallica randomly in a podcast.
---> Mike has seen this "Try the Ketchup" sensation that has been going around in the Linkin Park world, as Ghost Town has their eyes usually open to new trends.
---> Ghost Town likes promoting Club Tattoo in podcasts.
---> Their website is: www.ghosttownmedia.com
---> They don't get to sit down often and tell people weird little stories.
