In E 105 AA continues the recent threads about the Music Industry, as Primordial embarks on another tour, AA considers how the industry has changed over the decades, what did managers do back in the day, the demands put on musicians now to have a multitude of skills, how the punk rock, hardcore, Nwobhm Do It yourself ideal changed the music world back in the day and how the ideal of remote living and working changes the fundamental principle of being in a band itself.......support the showwww.patreon.com/AlanAverillSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

In E 104 AA asks can touring survive? inspired by listening to the audio book of Henry Rollins 'Get in the van' for the first time, AA looks at the logistics of touring, how new costs are being absorbed by musicians and the crowd, what is because of the war? what is simply price gouging, what is price gouging? how does a tour get started, get booked and become structured. How will that change as we move ahead, what's the main difference between van touring and night-liner touring? some simply life hacks for both and will live music simply become a social luxury in the future? to support the show go tohttp://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillIG nemtheanga_primordialSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Episode 103 is a chat with Mikko from SWALLOW THE SUN. Primordial are on tour with them and Rome in under two weeks so it seemed like a good idea to get together for a conversation. Mikko is Finnish, so as laconic, low energy, glass half empty and bleak as you can imagine!

The Echoes of Animism......Episode 101 is a long form chat with multi instrumentalist KATI RAN, using a variety of historical folk instruments she is part of what we could call the new-folk scene that's been growing across the world over the last decade. She's just worked on the soundtrack for the Netflix show VALHALLA, has released several of her own solo albums, worked with Gaahl, soundtracked games such as 'Vigor' and appeared with Myrkur, Folk Noir and worked with directors such as Nick Steinbuch and Trevor Morris!!Aside from all that this is a great chat about culture, mythology, history and how it echoes down through the ages, the search for spirituality, how come this new folk scene got so god damn big so soon! is it part of some deeper existential question of longing in the West?, and how it perfectly ties into the world of gaming, and growing up as a larping nerd and how all of this ties into the modern visual world!!!support the show over athttp://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.
