Mike recently tweeted about an article he participated in discussing the current remix contest that is taking place. He discusses how it came about and the benefits of the contest. You can check out the article here. “The album could not be any more sacred to us and this is certainly an X-factor, which is kind of a move against the grain for us,” he said. “But the Internet has actually given a lot more people a chance to be heard and, as it has turned out, amateurs are so much better than we ever expected.” Source: Boomtown via Mike's Twitter
Won't Best Buy get pissed if the band decides to not put a fan remix and rather just help a fan record? Maybe not...I just thought that's what made the Best Buy version exclusive.
Sounds like it would be a good idea to wait a little before picking which pre-order. I don't think they are sure which is gonna have what now.
Speaking of the pre-order...It's not on the site yet, is it? I can't seem to find it, even though Chester said it'd be up.
