Digitised Image Vodcast Script
This is my object for digitised image. As you can see it is
my signed Hybrid Theory EP by Linkin Park when they were still known as Hybrid
Theory. I managed to get my hands on a copy in 2010 during the LP summit in
Sydney. Although it is not an original seeing as only 1000 copies were made in
1999, I was quiet happy with a re-issued version. The significance to me is
that it was during that time I also got to meet all the members of Linkin Park
and had my EP signed by them as well.
Linkin Park were the first band I ever bought a CD of and it
is because of them I have a very varied taste for music today. I believe this
EP was the catalyst for Linkin Park as it propelled them forward and made me a
true fan. I know that these days others will say that Linkin Park have gone all
soft and shit, but to me change is a good thing and I will support their music
no matter what. At least it is not all commercial rubbish like One Direction, I
will never understand why so many people are drawn into commercial crap.
This EP will only ever live in the CD collection as a memory
of that day and never get played in an actual CD player. It is the signatures
on the EP that serve as a reminder that not only was that the first time I met
my favourite band but it would not be the last. In the end I will always
appreciate the things I’ve always longed for and this will not be the last.
I know Linkin Park may be considered commercial, but they aren't absolute rubbish.

Interesting post on commercial radio.

Here is the video from the Sydney LPU Summit where I got the CD.
This was the best experience I've had so far and I can't wait for the next.
