AGITATORS ANONYMOUS the Alan Averill Podcast

After a weekend at a Pagan Metal metal festival, and all the adjacent forms of music, medieval music, new folk, and all the newer bands in the Heilung/Wardruna vein I ask the simple question, is this revivalism and a genuine rejection of the modern world or a form of refuge, escape from the ills of modernity? or perhaps it's neither....or both? it's a question that actually needs a more in depth cultural, esoteric and political analysis, let's put a pin in that one! and also some under rated Pagan Metal albums to finish the discussion.

Are we heading for some really Dire Straits because of the war in the Middle East? Energy rationing? stay at home and work orders? or is that fear mongering....? did you realise how important Desallination was? how is all of this gonna effect the music industry, and touring? negatively is my guess. Kannonfeiber digging into the trenches to defend their merch positions! and it all ends with a eulogy for Neurosis and some news about a live podcast in Oslo....

Following a trip to Albania I consider all the various coefficients that have to go together to allow scenes to exist in harsh conditions, religious oppression, totalitarian regimes or outright poverty, how does metal always somehow find a way through any cracks to take root. Even in the harshest conditions, and why that struggle is what defines so much of the glory of old metal. Yet some reasons across the globe are also much more subtle and not what you would imagine on first glance....Let's take a look at why and how scenes take root

Today's podcast looks back at the history of record contracts, over 100 years ago and asks were musicians back then paid more for their work than streaming does now? was the music industry the canary in the coalmine, the first example of 'You will own nothing and be happy' ideal along with piracy and digital streaming and is it just another example of the hollowing out of the middle class?

These days almost every tour has a meet and greet VIP package, I used to feel they were immoral but with ever rising costs I evaluate my position and wonder are they essential now to a musicians ability to earn anything on tour anymore?
it's a complex moral conundrum....so let's get into it
