AGITATORS ANONYMOUS the Alan Averill Podcast

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

I missed out Episode 290 so let's go back in time, this one is kinda rambling and all over the place, why Rock N Roll and all the trappings, spices, side dishes, hangovers, come downs and black eyes seem like something from another century. Is it even possible to be Rock N Roll anymore? Part 3 of why nothing feels the same, why nothing little feels joyous or reckless anymore, going to gigs, socializing, is this just ageing or is there something else going on? Let's find out....maybe it's just me and I need some Vitamin D
Maybe it's all one giant piss take....?

Following on from last weeks 'Why old metal hates new metal' podcast, we take it a bit further this week, could be metal could be any old subculture to be honest, what are the reasons we feel alienated, detached and disenfranchised? From cities being too expensive for artists to live in to venues closing down, the death of the record shop to the redundancy of the recording studio and rehearsal room....where you once learned a craft. Nothing really feels the same anymore.....

Why do older metal fans find most newer metal bands so difficult to relate to? Is it just generational, don't the old folks always complain about the music young people like or is there more to it? riffs.....the sound.....the vocals....the image....what is it?
