Dave ManheimHOST
Yeah.
Dave ManheimHOST
What was the thing? And when does Weezer come into the story?
Sean MurphyGUEST
So Weezer, I met Weezer in 2001, uh, shooting for alternative press.
Sean MurphyGUEST
And the cool thing about Weezer and that I can honestly say is like, I wasn't, the
Jason LeyGUEST
So that's when my life took another change, another turn.
Jason LeyGUEST
And I moved to Cleveland to work for Alternative Press magazine.
Aaron McCallHOST
Oh, no shit.
Aaron McCallHOST
Yeah.
Aaron McCallHOST
So very first time that I had an ad early in my career that I made for somebody else that was published, it was an alternative press.
Aaron McCallHOST
Right on.
Aaron McCallHOST
AP.
Tori KravitzGUEST
So I did 2050.
Tori KravitzGUEST
17 and 2018 on the road with the band's work tour, which then just led me down the pipeline of working with not fast alternative press.
Tori KravitzGUEST
And now I use those skills to be on the other side as a publicist, helping other journalists schedule interviews with the bands I work with.
Scott PenfoldHOST
You know, I can only see you going up from here.

Tori KravitzGUEST
Well, I think, OK, you know what? If I really think about it, it's easier and harder because it's different.
Tori KravitzGUEST
It's just different.
Tori KravitzGUEST
And I may be a little old school, right? Like I found bands by subscribing to Alternative Press magazine and getting my monthly magazine and looking through the bands and finding what I liked.
Tori KravitzGUEST
Right now, you really do have to dig a little bit more on social media.
AndrewGUEST
I have AP
MattHOST
Press, Alternative Press, which I know Forrest knows what that is.
MattHOST
That was like every 2000s emo kid's Bible.
MattHOST
And then, you know, Fangoria was another one just because it always talked about horror and things like that.
Simon WinklerMODERATOR
So, we're seeing that in the current landscape.
Simon WinklerMODERATOR
For example, recently cuts, funding cuts affected Brooklyn Vegan, Alternative Press, Revolver and Goldmine.
Simon WinklerMODERATOR
Later reporting said that seven staff had been cut across five publications, which continue to publish, but even locally, archives, including Faster, Louder, and Mess & Noise, have become difficult to access, and platforms are sort of being absorbed or consolidated.
Simon WinklerMODERATOR
So, of course, as we've been talking about, more people can publish on the internet, but fewer are getting paid, fewer are getting edited, and fewer are getting supported while doing it.
Sose FuemoliGUEST
We're cutting off avenues for music fans to... find kindred spirits, you know, and I feel like that's so sad because we're, like we've been talking about tonight, we're in a space where we're being fed so much that you're already sacrificing a human connection.
Sose FuemoliGUEST
And I feel like reviews and music journalism, even in an independent space, that is like one of the last areas that you can still have that.
Sose FuemoliGUEST
So when all of this stuff, especially with Brooklyn Vegan and alternative press started happening, I was being hit with waves of that same sadness.
Sose FuemoliGUEST
Obviously, this is on a bigger level because it's international.
BrentHOST
I expected to be pissed off by the list.
RyanHOST
hey man 99 more records to go okay here we go number 99 paramore brand new eyes 2009 on fueled by ramen this is a subsidiary of atlantic this is their third album and follow up to their breakout album riot from 2007. i know them from when i used to have a subscription to a physical magazine, Alternative Press.
RyanHOST
They were everywhere on there.
RyanHOST
They are a pop punk alternative band with a famous lead singer, Hayley Williams.
RyanHOST
This record is certified double platinum.
RyanHOST
I had never heard it.
RyanHOST
And from when I used to have the Alternative Press subscription, I'm not sure I really read about Paramore.
RyanHOST
They were just in the issues all the time.
Kiel HauckHOST
We're going to talk about it.
Kiel HauckHOST
But, uh, the, uh, 139 ballots got sent back you can go to the website read about how this whole thing worked and how they ranked everything but the the voting list I don't know if you scrolled through like all the different like they alphabetized everybody that voted there's people from bands there's writers there's people at record labels uh the founder of Alternative Press was on there, and just a smattering of different folks that all kind of had some valid and interesting thoughts on this.
Kiel HauckHOST
I don't believe, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, I don't believe we have access to individual people's ballots, which I think would be really interesting to see.
Kiel HauckHOST
But what we have instead is how all those votes came out in the you know, this 200 album list.
JasonHOST
Does anyone care anymore? I kind of feel like Slipknot is losing its relevancy.
JasonHOST
Alternative Press, Brooklyn Vegan, Goldmine, Metal Edge, Revolver, they all got gutted this week.
JasonHOST
You're not gonna be surprised when I tell you what happened.
JasonHOST
They were purchased by Live Nation.

TravisPANELIST
The impression I get is that they think Zane is, you know, just a sleazeball of a guy that this movie is never going to happen, that he's lying and making lies.
TravisPANELIST
light of things that he shouldn't be they think he's exploiting Wayne's life that he's taking and making it sensationalist and there may be some truth to that I can't comment we obviously haven't seen the movie I can't decide for myself again I would like to see it but I definitely think the truth is somewhere in between there and I definitely think it might make Edsel look like he might be a bad guy in all this so that sucks
JasonHOST
okay do you guys where do you guys get your music news other than rockfanradio.com do you guys ever listen do you ever got i'm not listening do you guys ever read alternative press brooklyn vegan goldmine metal edge or revolver revolver probably being the most popular out of all those i had a subscription for rolling stone for years I never really liked Rolling Stone.
JasonHOST
It was less about the music and more about the drama.
OsterHOST
Um, this is, this is a really funny thing.
OsterHOST
Um, Alternative Press categorized the album as vaguely emo, but mostly mall punk.
OsterHOST

Jake BrennanHOST
I'm Jake Brennan, and this is Disgraceland.
Jake BrennanHOST
[rock music] In 2014, Tim Lambesis, frontman for the Christian metalcore band As I Lay Dying, gave an interview to Alternative Press Magazine in which he positioned himself as an unlikely whistleblower.
Jake BrennanHOST
Now, in this interview, Lambesis made the claim that the Christian metal circuit, the collection of bands whose Christian faith is a driving force in their music and their identity, the scene that As I Lay Dying had been part of for years was nothing more than a fraud.
Jake BrennanHOST
"In 12 years of touring with As I Lay Dying," Lambesis said, "I would say maybe one in 10 Christian bands we toured with were actually Christian bands." Lambesis even outed himself in this interview, saying that he'd stepped away from Christianity years ago and now identified as an atheist.
