I happened be right there last weekend at a protest and subsequent riot in France, right there.....front row seats, I spent all day among the protestors and all night watching the rioting and looting. 20 yards away, and todays podcast is what I saw, my observations and my attempt at understanding the context. As always it's way more complicated than you might think and there are far more factors and actors at play than it seems or that you might be able to see from a 15 second reel on the gram. I try to remain apolitical, unemotional and even handed, so if you are looking for angry hot takes, you won't find em here!

Does everything have to be political....all of the time?

After a short two week enforced interlude I'm back, not in the studio for this one but recording remotely. Today's podcast is about Angry Anderson, a true rock n roll legend who passed away during the week. I wonder is it even possible for a band like this to exist in modern society anymore? Genuine working class heroes with a truly menacing air who turned their pub yob rock into an institution that stood for integrity and comradeship, which deeply resonated with people in a way few bands are able to. If a band appeared now claiming the same wouldn't we imagine it was conceit? this and more on today's podcast Forgive the slightly different audio!

In today's podcast I ramble across a few different things, being asked "Don't I remember" by ChatGPT....about a conspiracy theory discussion from months before, so wait.....what....it's my own ChatGPT?.....or....was I being gently mocked by the Dystopian future we are about to enter, and then promptly forgot. That and an idea for an app called RE-ANIMATE which could cure loneliness. Send my royalty cheque in the post.

Interrupted while day dreaming about a Manowar poster I had when I was 14....I get ambushed into discussing the Manosphere with an old friend, am I in it? is the main thrust of questioning. It was silly, it was serious.....some points were raised, some words were phrased and in the end we both agreed, blanket buzz words = bad, claiming exercise is toxic = bad.....but most of the C U Next Tuesday's involved are little else...Mano-war-sphere......nature abhors a vacuum Today's sponsor is : PROMETHEAN WOLF Elite fitness wear....check it out at prometheanwolf.com and use the CODE : AGITATE for free shipping on your first order the show is looking for sponsors....if you think this is something you are interested in, get in touch [email protected] follow me nemtheanga_primordial primordial_official on the gram support the show over at : https://patreon.com/AlanAverill if you wish to make a one off donation to the show paypal : [email protected] Primordial on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQ For info on my work as a booking agent go to: https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficial or email [email protected] Primordial cds/lps available from https://www.metalblade.com/primordial/ my other musical projects death metal VERMINOUS SERPENT https://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTA doom DREAD SOVEREIGN https://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXA goth APRILMEN https://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

In today's episode I mull over Sepultura's last ever European show, feeling left out in the cold by that corporate arena feeling and why bands choose huge screens with AI imagery over lights and amps, what did Inner Self mean anyway? Being a cranky middle aged man means becoming a walking meme, who can deny it? and then a proper deep dive into proposed EU eco- packaging laws that are going to seriously screw your fave underground label, or local business...... try and act surprised Today's sponsor is : PROMETHEAN WOLF Elite fitness wear....check it out at prometheanwolf.com and use the CODE : AGITATE for free shipping on your first order the show is looking for sponsors....if you think this is something you are interested in, get in touch [email protected] follow me nemtheanga_primordial primordial_official on the gram support the show over at : https://patreon.com/AlanAverill if you wish to make a one off donation to the show paypal : [email protected] Primordial on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQ For info on my work as a booking agent go to: https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficial or email [email protected] Primordial cds/lps available from https://www.metalblade.com/primordial/ my other musical projects death metal VERMINOUS SERPENT https://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTA doom DREAD SOVEREIGN https://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXA goth APRILMEN https://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Recently I was mixing an album and desperately tried to make the studio into a time machine, to take me back to 1984, and failed. Well kinda, sorta.....made it back some of the way then the dials on the DeLorean starting smoking and I ended up more or less where I started. Why is it so difficult to fully re-create that moment? is it simply impossible to create virgin territory, a cultural zeitgeist moment, or is it analogue vs. digital? or is it about gear?

This weeks episode is inspired by a week of listening to old demos from the late 80s and early 90s, a chance discussion with Paul from Blood Incantation about why some bands that seemed so vital from back in those days never made it, yet maybe now.....they would get far more respect, or would they?

In today's podcast I consider the implications that music is now one of the least important parts of promoting an album, what that means for the art form, when was the last time you shared a link to music and not a clip of people talking about music or an old clip of some band from another long gone decade acting out?

In today's episode I tread out into ankle deep waters of the let's be frank mostly nonsense culture war hysteria surrounding Christopher Nolan's new movie, an adaptation of Homer's "The Odyssey" and consider the argument, should movies be historically accurate, do they owe a debt to the real characters who lived and died to portray them faithfully, or is history just another treasure trove of storytelling with which we can do as we please? Should the realms of fantasy belong to the vision of the original writer or can we interpret them as we see fit?

Does the old school metal scene and music industry in general simply have to accept the dumbing down of the scene through the influx of content creating gimmick bands or is it possible to resist? As it's clear that within an ageing scene there needs to be new blood right? Yet the new bands who uphold the old school values and worship the riff! are fewer and further between and certainly and sadly not the biggest bands in the field anymore...not even close. This, why does summer touring not work in Europe and a brief moment of positivity near the end about how we might see a small but aggressive luddite-esque resistance to AI art.....if so make me the Mayor in this new principality....oh and why Irish people don't belong at the beach. the show is looking for sponsors....if you think this is something you are interested in, get in touch [email protected] follow me nemtheanga_primordial primordial_official on the gram support the show over at : https://patreon.com/AlanAverill Primordial on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQ For info on my work as a booking agent go to: https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficial or email [email protected] Primordial cds/lps available from https://www.metalblade.com/primordial/ my other musical projects death metal VERMINOUS SERPENT https://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTA doom DREAD SOVEREIGN https://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXA goth APRILMEN https://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.
