The hard truths about touring

After last weeks more tongue in cheek look at the world of touring this time I take it a bit more seriously and try and examine some of the hard truths about what living on the road can do to you, how it can punish the vulnerable and reward the stoic, inspired by a post sent to me about touring, "the hard truths' I go through the pros and cons, the mental pressure, the health issues, indulgences without responsibility, the rewards and high points of a strange and odd life and how many years it's bound to take off your life!....living on the road

APOLOGIES FOR THE RELATIVELY POOR SOUND IN THE SECOND HALF, MIC ISSUES.....

I got the gas station Blues.....

In today's podcast I cast a cranky middle aged eye over the whole debacle surrounding the band Vitriol, where members were left at gas stations, tours ended, gofundme's started and tears for the gram....what happened to not doing all your dirty washing in public, is that a thing of the past? or was it always like this, and if I was to be kicked out and left at a gas station every time I misbehaved on tour I'd probably be living in one right now, or at least in the bushes outside.....

The Black Metal Streisand effect

In today's episode I consider the Streisand effect, how responding to critics and attention can create more noise, how I once gave a lecture in Black Metal once upon a time, would that work now? and how the scene back in the day and it's adoption of extremity was never meant to bear close analysis, a brief discussion of what a live album used to mean.....keep your tongue in your cheek...

Winning and losing at the music industry game

In today's episode I discuss taking on the music industry at it's own game, using the parameters, platforms and apps to your advantage through the rise of the band Castle Rat, how it works for some and not for others, a brief skirt through the disaster zone of manufactured band Dogma and end up wondering.....can anyone remember a song....damn it even a riff? and is that even important when you are crafting and curating attention for your band in an optical industry....and how 4 working class lads from Birmingham probably wouldn't make it these days.....

When an album comes along and shows you exactly what you were missing.....

My 'I listened to 50 bands' podcast a week ago raised some eyebrows and caused in equal measures mirth and annoyance but over the last week an album has come along that showed me clearly what was missing from so much modern metal, am I fair to judge it so? or just shouting at clouds, this Friday I explore the reasons why that might be the case and is festival culture a victory lap where bands get to play to crowds they never could have back in the day or is it just a bloated circus lacking in depth and genuine love for art? This and loads of other nonsense.....

Am I my brothers keeper? should artists be responsible for the beliefs of others?

Today's podcast is a tongue in cheek look at writing songs and lyrics as a young man, trying to fill them with pathos and gravity, that only makes any sense decades and decades later. A cynical take on the Irish Presidential election and a sideways look at the idea that somehow we should be held responsible for the beliefs and ideas of others?

should we.....?

I listened to 50 new bands this week....

Last week I listened to 50 new bands, how did that go? find out.....can any of them stand up to the old classics? What does it take to carve your space in the scene now as a new band and what seems to be lacking? How the rise of Blood Incantation is an example of substance over style, and putting in the time and dedication to stagecraft can bring returns without resorting to masks and gimmicks and a brief consideration of Kreator and the ethics of using AI to make videos.....

Am I the Irish Alex Jones? who wants to agree with all the artists they like? what a boring world that would be. Digital ID's, is it just a conspiracy theory to be worried about the authoritarian implications of a digital panopticon or should we just seem them as a mean of convenience designed with our best interests at heart?

Political assassination, Godwin's law and when every opinion is a nail....

After a week's hiatus I return to discuss the Charlie Kirk assassination, what is Godwin's Law and how does it apply to the modern digital age, the destruction of the middle ground only pushes more and more people to extremes, and how this feels like something of a tipping point in modern political discourse....

There may be trouble ahead.....

Analysing the Cradle situation and what is the job of a session musician

In today's episode I discuss the crazy Cradle of Filth situation the whole metal scene is rubber necking over, what actually is the role of a session musician in the music industry and when do you go from session role to member, is it when you start song writing or is it longevity? and is it right to do everything so publicly?

INTRODUCING - Zappedüster

This is a paid for advertisement for the band

Zappedüster

and the track

"Näbelschlucker"

ZAPPEDÜSTER „NÄBELSCHLUCKER“:

Rural Black Metal Punk from the backwoods middle of nowhere...

„In the dead of night resounds a ghastly screech in Agasul,

drifting across the countryside – the curse of the Schrädel.

The Hungersinet drives his woeful doings, the moaning of the Näbelschlucker awakens and gasps for Sargnägel, Pfiiffe, Chlöpfer und Bränz.“

Out of the stale swill of Sägisse Rock, ZAPPEDÜSTER gathered together, wielding hatchet and rusty chains to stir up the spectres in the local pubs with their antiqated patoit Black Metal.

The oasis of witty banter vs. free speech hypocrisy

Mixed bag today. While not giving a F about it at the time, the 90s really where a time of optimism, anti censorship and not confined by the restraints of the culture wars and the re-union of Oasis has brought that into sharp focus. Contrast that with today's climate, I discuss a recent glaring example in Ireland of the hypocrisy of many modern musicians over free speech, is misunderstanding what it means a deliberate ploy or just casual censorship.....? along with an add read for

Is it really possible to ban phones at gigs?

Ghost banned phones for their most recent tour, in this episode I debate whether this is practical or possible for smaller bands or only a 'privilege' for bands right at the top? playing in huge venues who have the facility, is it possible in a smaller venue and do newer smaller bands even want it....as maybe they need the free promo....why do we feel the need to document every moment of our lives without living in the moment? I get into the whys and wherefores on this one and why doesn't Tobias return my texts anymore? this and loads of other random nonsense.....

Die with your boots on......

Our icons age and eventually die, reminding us of our own mortality. They wrote songs that defined our youth and now are in the final chapters of life.....do we let them age? do we always want them to stay the same, some did....and died young and remained verile, beautiful and iconic....and some don't! Ozzy hung in for one last ride! so this episode mulls over age, icons and the greatest band ever....Black Sabbath
