Whitehall had this to say about the new track, "Lost and Found is one of the more pensive songs we have ever written. We almost wanted it to sound like it has a little dust on it, and our first experiment with a melodeon (we think thats what its called) serves to blow off some of that dust and bring the listener into the more upbeat outro feeling some mixture of warmth and unease all at once. It's both about ego loss and the struggle to reparent yourself as a new stage of life approaches fast." (continue)

Accompanying the song is a frenetic, hand-painted visual by Dusty Deen incorporating images by legendary photographer Mike Miller.
About the song, Shinoda shared, "'Already Over' came to me as I was sitting with my favorite guitar in my hands-the same guitar I used on songs from 'What I've Done' to 'In My Head.'

Tom Heyman released his new album "24th Street Blues" this week and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the song "The Mission Is On Fire". The new record is concept album about the endangered culture and living ghosts of San Francisco's Mission District. Here is the story:
I have lived and worked in San Francisco's Mission District for more than 20 years, and a number of years ago there were a series of devastating fires, on Mission Street, seemingly right on top of each other. The biggest fire happened across the street from the bar that I work in. A mixed use 3 story building that predated the 1906 earthquake caught fire and turned into a 4-alarm blaze. One person died, a bunch of folks lost their homes, and a bunch of businesses were lost. At the time the City was in the midst of a crushing tech boom that drove high rents even higher, and really squeezed what was left of a hollowed out working class. At work I would stare at the burned-out shell of the building across the street, and wonder what happened to the families and businesses, the fish market, the taqueria, the flower market, the CPA... The remnants of the building were finally demolished, and of course the non-union crew working the demo, knocked the adjacent building off its foundation...the most SF thing ever. (continue)
