Car Con Carne

Richard Patrick and Jonny Radtke of Filter talked with Car Con Carne before the Tinley Park date of the “Freaks on Parade” tour (Rob Zombie / Alice Cooper / Ministry / Filter).    The conversation happened weeks after the release of the new Filter album, “The Algorithm,” a high water mark for a band with an already-strong catalog and history.   Covered in this episode: * The tour (“no stinkers in the bunch”) * Richard’s reconciliation with Trent Reznor, and the subsequent good vibes * “The Algorithm” - The songs, and the stories behind their creation. * Sharing personal and political thoughts in song: Does Richard ever think he should be more abstract? * The unlikely music discovery Richard made that led to cool sounds and moments on “The Algorithm.” * The perils and legit horrors attached to celebrity.   I really enjoyed and got a lot out of this conversation … hope you enjoy it!
