This would be cool if I liked Indie music I usually never like the songs Chester or Mike choose, haha. Although Mike's hip hop/rap song choices tend to be good.
Fuck yeah The National and SDRE Also, most of these bands are pretty different to each other so it's a bit unfair to just dismiss them all at once.
Shinoda also now has an account on The Hype Machine, so you can, yeah, stalk him as he listens to and/or favourites new music he discovers.
youtubed all the songs, the ones I liked were: Mistaken For Strangers - The National Lights outs by Santigold Repeaterbeater by Mew Wide Eyes by Local Natives but yeah as Dean said, the bands have very different styles and you shouldn't just write them all off for being "indie" Plus it's interesting to see what stuff LP likes to listen to.
I'll give em all a try, but so far I've never really liked anything Mike/Chester has recommended fans over the years lol.
I cant say I like or am familiar with the other bands, but "Sunny Day Real Estate" where cool though!
