I like to think that you can’t truly enjoy most modern electronic music without knowing a little bit about its roots. That’s where today’s song comes into play.
Kraftwerk is truly one of those groups where you have to appreciate who they were and what they were trying to do when they were trying to do it. So many bands list these guys as one of their influences, especially modern gods like Daft Punk. The song today is “Europe Endless” which was an Americanized version of Kraftwerk’s Trans Europe Express, though for you fans of the original language, check out “Europa Endloss” from the album Trans Europa Express.
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.
