This week I got an email from Linkin Park about an amazing new release that they had.  I was thinking maybe they were pushing out another music release to go with their new album…maybe a live EP/DVD/Remix/Mash-up/Cover/Duet.  Nope…not even close.  Linkin Park is releasing their very own Dell-themed computer.  True story.  Just a couple of weeks ago, I praised Linkin Park for not being sell-outs…then I get this email.  I don’t even know what to think…

Here’s the thing, are these guys sell-outs?  Is having your own computer stepping over the “gimme more money” line?  I mean…the Beatles had clothes, games, lunch boxes, toys, kitchenware, hairbrushes, even video games.  Kiss takes it to a whole other level…they sell Kiss-themed coffins.  If a coffin isn’t selling out…then a computer is far down on the list.

I guess I can’t blame any band for just being business-savvy.  At the same time, it nice to hear bands as they still struggle their way to the top.
