I’m guessing that unless you’re a huge ska fan or are from New York, then you’ve probably never heard of The Slackers. These guys started recording in 2001 when the rest of the world seems to have forgotten about the world of ska.
After the success of their previous album, the group decided to keep going with the politically themed lyrics on their International War Criminal EP that came out in 2003. It’s on this album that you can find the tune you’re listening to right now. Pretty damn good group that will keep ska alive into the 2010s (I hope).
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.
