About a decade ago, I picked up Filter’s Title of Record album, and was completely blown away by how good it was. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no bandwagon jumper when it comes to Richard Patrick’s first band. I had Short Bus and enjoyed it for the most part, but it was nothing compared to how good of an album this was.
The difference between styles was night and day. Instead of trying to sound grunge industrial, they decided to go the route of Pitchshifter and add more samples, drum machines, and all around better vocals. The track for today “Welcome to the Fold” is the first real track on the album and comes in hard setting the scene for the entire album. I suggest anyone who’s a fan of the post industrial scene to go out and pick up this album. It should be pretty easy to find and fairly cheap…if you kids even buy CDs anymore.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
