Back in early 2009, Linkin Park announced they were working on a 4th studio album, which was planned to be released in 2010. Mike Shinoda told IGN that the new album would be 'genre-busting,' building off of elements in Minutes to Midnight. He also mentioned that the album would be more experimental and "hopefully more cutting-edge." Chester Bennington also addressed the media to confirm that Rick Rubin would return to produce the new album. They later called this album, "A Thousand Suns".
While working on the new album, Linkin Park worked with Hans Zimmer to produce the score for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The band released a single for the movie entitled "New Divide". Joe Hahn created a music video for the song, which featured clips from the film. After completing work for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the band returned to the studio to finalize their album.
A Thousand Suns was released in September. The album’s first single, "The Catalyst", was released one month later. The band promoted their new album by launching a concert tour, which started in Los Angeles right around the release date of the album. Linkin Park also relied on MySpace to promote their album, releasing two additional songs, "Waiting for the End" and "Blackout" in September.
Here's the song, Waiting For The End:

"Soul to Squeeze" is a song by the American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers that was originally recorded during the production of their fifth studio album, Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991). Although it was not featured on the record, "Soul to Squeeze" was later released as a single in 1993 and was on the Coneheads film soundtrack.
The song became an unexpected success when it peaked at number one on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks as well as number 22 on the Hot 100.
The music video for "Soul to Squeeze" features Chad Smith, Flea and Kiedis in a stereotypical circus. The song, which plays amongst all the acts of the circus, includes "freaks" and "the Conehead", a reference to the film.
The music video was shot in black and white. Originally, the video was supposed to feature the band playing with footage from the film Coneheads, but the band refused this idea; instead, a Conehead appears in the video as the circus's Human Cannonball.
One of my favorite actor/comedians, Chris Farley makes an appearance in the music video.

Long Time since I had some Cake
Cake is an American alternative rock band from California. The band has been noted for McCrea's sarcastic lyrics and deadpan voice, DiFiore's trumpet parts, and their wide-ranging musical influences, including country music, Mariachi, rock, funk, Iranian folk music and hip-hop.
Cake got together in 1991 with McCrea, DiFiore, Greg Brown, Frank French and Sean McFessel, who soon left and was replaced by Nelson. Following the self-release of its debut album, "Motorcade of Generosity", the band was signed to Capricorn Records in 1995 and released its first single, "Rock 'n' Roll Lifestyle", which hit number 35 on the Modern Rock Tracks music chart; French and Nelson then left the band, and were replaced by Todd Roper and Victor Damiani. Cake's second album, "Fashion Nugget"; on the strength of the lead single, "The Distance", it went platinum.

Chris Cornell creates a Shadow on the Sun
Audioslave was formed after Zack de la Rocha left Rage Against the Machine and the remaining members were searching for another vocalist. Producer and friend Rick Rubin suggested that they should contact Chris Cornell. Boy that was smart!
Cornell was in the writing process of a second solo album, but decided to shelve that and pursue the opportunity to work with Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk when they approached him. Morello described Cornell: "He stepped to the microphone and sang the song and I couldn't believe it. It didn't just sound good. It didn't sound great. It sounded transcendent. And... when there is an irreplaceable chemistry from the first moment, you can't deny it." The foursome wrote 21 songs during 19 days of rehearsal and began working in the studio in late May 2001.
They are one of the greatest bands ever brought together. Here's a tune I truly love called, Shadow On The Sun:

Adolescents - Lyrics

It’s getting out of line, line, line
I know I’m not alone
Just adolescents, you and I

Foo Fighters ;;; Rope
Rope - Lyrics
This indecision got me climbing up the walls
I've been cheating gravity and waiting on the falls
How did this come over me, I thought I was above it all
Our hopes gone up in smoke, swallow your crown
On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you
On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose
I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose
I'm pulling for you now
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head,
into the clear when you, go,
I, go, No
These premonitions got me crying up a storm
Leave your condition, this position does no harm
On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you
On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose,
I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose,
I'm pulling for you now
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head,
into the clear when you, go,
I, go, No
[Solo]
Give me some rope I'm coming loose,
I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose,
I'm pulling for you now
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head,
into the clear when you, go,
I, go, No
I've been cheating gravity and waiting on the falls
How did this come over me, I thought I was above it all
Our hopes gone up in smoke, swallow your crown
On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you
On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose
I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose
I'm pulling for you now
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head,
into the clear when you, go,
I, go, No
These premonitions got me crying up a storm
Leave your condition, this position does no harm
On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you
On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose,
I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose,
I'm pulling for you now
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head,
into the clear when you, go,
I, go, No
[Solo]
Give me some rope I'm coming loose,
I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose,
I'm pulling for you now
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head,
into the clear when you, go,
I, go, No
