It’s a damned shame that Gwen Stefani had to go off on her own and create the empire of pop that she has made because No Doubt was probably one of the most prolific groups to ever take part in the third wave of ska invasion from southern California in the mid 90s. The song “Trapped in a Box” from their self-titled debut album is a constant reminder to me of how good the 90s were for ska music, not to mention how awesome Gwen used to sound before she decided to go pop.
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.
