Todays podcast asks the question when did it become such a chore to be a fan of music? do you go to gigs and secretly wait for them to be over, feel like you haven't given that new album by your so called fave band enough time, and before you know it you have a stack of ignored vinyl staring at you? do you feel overwhelmed by the amount of new releases, so much so that being informed feels like doing the death scroll admin? find out why ....consume curate content, the 3 C'sto help Jeff Wagner from Radical research go tohttps://www.gofundme.com/f/greensboro-fire-adrienne-jeff?attribution_id=sl:1c5ea3f7-9aee-40e4-bc2c-7f8c0c2855f0take a look at the article at Hate Meditationshttps://hatemeditations.com/2024/06/06/metalhead-burnout-entrepreneurism-and-the-chore-of-modern-listening/?support the show over athttp://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillPrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6...sponsored byMetal Blade recordshttps://metalblade.indiemerch.com/promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your orderships worldwideFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialVerminous Serpenthttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl...Dread Sovereignhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4...
