AGITATORS ANONYMOUS the Alan Averill Podcast

Lately I've been getting a lot of emails and messages from new bands and musicians asking how can they make the next step! first mistake asking a grumpy old dude like me right? well, how do you play the game? is there any point and what if your chosen style has no underground, you have to go big or go home right?

This week I discuss the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov and how the cartoonish fake news became the soviet style disinformation, the dynamic pricing debacle over Oasis tickets and how gigs have now become a luxury experience for the upper middle class and some news about Attila S Thompsons missing suitcase...

In this episode I discuss why Boomers are starting to only now notice there are no new rock bands anymore....and what part they played in that, how lad culture that was once celebrated in the 90s was redefined as toxic masculinity for the modern age and how the Oasis reunion has sparked the predictable responses from areas of the press....among loads of other nonsense

Simple one this week, with another festival season under my belt I wonder how many more times this happens, the law of diminishing returns! being nearer the end than the beginning, going up against huge bands with your time slot, how the cost of living crisis is affecting merch sales, transient punters, and the feeling that the whole scene is building up a big head of steam once again.....can the centre hold or are we headed for a lot of cancellations over the next 12 months....or am I just a pessimistic chump? or all of the above

This may be an unusual move but this is an entire album of

VERMINOUS SERPENT 'The Malign Covenant' which I played bass/vocals on along with JD on guitars (Slidhr) and MB (Malthusian) on drums

it came out maybe a year ago on Amor Fati Records! Germany

chances are maybe you haven't heard it! black/death metal done the old school way!

you can order the album on vinyl or cd at this link

Was the opening Olympic ceremony a heinous Blasphemy or just daft woke folly? Why the Marquis de Sade appeals to Libertine edgelords but is a bad role model and why I wanted 5 minutes alone with Foucault....

A stopgap episode offering some essential advice for bands! and a newly found interview from the vaults.....from 1998 about Journey's End with that RTE Metal show! Ireland's main broadcaster back in the day! Expect youthful snarkiness and some vibrant bitchiness.....his name is Muggy Inclement.....

Until next week!!

I mean what else could I talk about? Nature is Metal......Trump being totally Metal? well, old school Metal at least....back when Manowar were greased, ready and in their prime. Did Trump just quote some Manowar lyrics in a recent speech or is that fake news. Find out, some off the cuff assassination talk, via Sarajevo, world war one and other random off the cuff metal and historical references

In a week where I pay way over the odds for a record I've wanted since 1989 to add to my personal ballast/collection, I ask is it really worth it? is there any romance really in clicking a button and getting it delivered to your door compared to going through the racks in a dank old cellar record shop back in the day. I finally get to me Manowar vinyl anecdote and wonder....is it really worth it? surely it's better to own nothing and be happy.....right?
