Episode 518-Filter-The Amalgamut

Free Form Rock Podcast

🎙️ This Week on The BS! Sessions 🎙️
Episode Title: "The Amalgamut, a Mooger Flyby, and a Whole Lotta Rock!"

This week on America’s favorite barely-controlled audio trainwreck, we dove headfirst into Filter's ‘The Amalgamut’—a criminally underrated album that dares to ask, "What if industrial rock had feelings... and a gym membership?"

Our resident man of mystery, Mooger, was “on assignment” (which we assume means chasing down the last copy of Fear Factory's CD at a truck stop in Bakersfield), but he swung by for a quick “Yo!” before vanishing into the podcasting ether.

Joining the mayhem were two certified BS! troublemakers:
🎸 Jimmy James Schwartz – master of dad jokes and deep cuts
🥁 Travis Perrotta – possibly powered by guitar riffs and espresso

We almost stayed on topic. Almost. There were tangents. There was passion. There was confusion. In short, it was beautiful chaos.

And just when you thought we were done, we hit you with our Tracks of the Week, because opinions are like podcasts—everybody’s got one:
🎶 Jerry – “Brown Eyed Girl” (Everclear version, because why not confuse people?)
🎶 Mooger – “Demanufacture” by Fear Factory (robot mosh-pit certified)
🎶 Jimmy – “Icarus (Born on Wings of Steel)” by Kansas (prog nerds, unite!)
🎶 Travis – “Type” by Living Colour (funk metal perfection)
🎶 Marc – “Anytime” by Cheap Trick (because Cheap Trick is ALWAYS the right answer)

So... where do we go from here? Maybe off a cliff. Maybe to another episode. Maybe to Taco Bell.
Until next week—
🚫 Don’t let your life be an American cliché! 🚫
