  • 227. The expensive and nerdy world of vintage Heavy Metal t-shirt collecting

    37:59||Season 1, Ep. 227
    I don't solve the Middle East in this episode, or drone on about the American election or really answer any of life's big issues, that is unless you are a vintage merch collector, trader or simple plain old Heavy Metal fan! So strap yourself in for some proper obsessive compulsive nerdling true metal behaviour...... how come it's all got so goddamn expensive? what kind of stitching do you look for to make sure it's an OG, and some stories about my long lost Bathory shirt....is vintage merch collecting just a microcosm of real life? find out.....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...

    01:24:08||Season 1, Ep. 224
    Todays podcast is a chat with Dan from both Wolcensmen and Solstice, which may seem controversial to some, but very normal and standard to others, and while we don't agree on everything the principle behind Agitators Anonymous is that of freedom of speech, we cover the difficulties of stepping into someone else's musical shoes and singing damn hard songs! scepticism, rationality, being played by our algorithm, why the powers that be seek to divide and conquer us but also why we should all attempt in a polarised world to find common ground rather than divisions....there are some contentious topics here and there but everything should be on the table to discuss!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...

    We hear the word libertarian and the phrase classical liberal a lot these days but where does it come from? what do libertarians believe and maybe you are one and don't know it? along with some other random chat, including the shelving of Ireland's Orwellian hate speech laws and why my mother thinks Blindboy is a much better podcaster....fair enough like, boi.....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...

    On this weeks podcast I discuss the recent case of Michael Smith, a prompter, music generator who was arrested for gaming Spotify's system, generating 100 000s of songs with AI, uploading them and then getting bots to fire up his numbers, getting caught after trying to get a 10$ million payout! and how the system is more or less open to complete manipulation....that, the new Danzig single and how for most bands now its about consolidation and not 'growth'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...
