Ian Curtis, Janis Joplin, Pete Steele, Layne Staley, Jon Nodtveidt, Kurt Cobain, and on and on, the list is endless....so do musicians actually have shorter lives? in this episode I go through some of the reason that might indeed be true!!

Wine is fine but whiskeys quicker.....

Continuing on from the podcast of a few weeks ago today I mentally stumble across thoughts on why elements of the modern Western technocratic state shadows the old Soviet system, the new AI Google Gemini image creator, who controls the past controls the future, do you know any European leaders anymore? 2 + 2 equalling 5 and why we need to defend common ground, consensus and freedom of speech....

and some dumb Dad humour

Before we begin part 2 of the why nothing makes sense political discussion let's have a Heavy metal interlude, I'm joined by Joe from Gama Bomb for volume 15 of our random chats about mainly heavy metal but more or less anything. This one covers important business like the price of a pint in Dublin, which one of us used to sniff solvents as a kid, which gig from Irelands gritty past had people being stabbed with syringes outside and what we think of the new Kerry King logo.....

Where did the phrase gaslighting come from? are we being gaslit all the time, how do we know when news or media is real or fake? why does it seem to be so difficult to make sense of the world right now and is it going to get better or worse.....I think you know the answer to that one! but what can we do about it? what happened to the mainstream media, journalism, its financial structure model and why deathscrolling is as old as Ancient Egypt!

Todays podcast is a chat with yours truly about Black Metal which was done for an upcoming book about the origins of UK Black Metal with Cult never dies, ok so Primordial isn't obviously from the Uk but we were living next door, signed to UK labels, played back in the early 90s in the Uk and had quite a lot of dealings peripherally within the scene. That chat morphs into a general discussion about Black Metal, its origin story, its development, morals, aesthetics and orthodoxy.....apologies for the slightly poor sound quality on my end, I was calling from the 1920s....

This is part 2 to the look ahead to 2024, only it's about the music industry and underground metal this time, with only a brief hint of politics! sure it's all politics at the end of the day as the man says! How the cost of living and doing business affects an underground metal scene that can only exist with physical product, and bodies in the club.....down at the front of the stage, take all these away, won't be much of a scene. This and the coming threat to creativity from AI and what seems like the ever more frenetic deluge of releases.....

Todays podcast is a great chat with Chris from HIGH SPIRITS, fine purveyors of uplifting heavy metal for over a decade now, but Chris's musical legacy stretches back to the mid 90s with numerous other bands, we discuss that, the influence of pop music over modern mainstream culture and metal, his role in writing for and producing Nachtmystium, and overcoming the mental downside of lockdown.....
