There is so much going on on Arrow dot net,
aarr oe dot net if you like me when it
comes to podcasts listening, I want a variety, so that's
why we created this network. Aro dot net. We're talking sports, ya,
author's spiritual quests, even grocery store nightmares. Arro dot net
a r r oe dot net. Enjoy your exploration. I
(00:23):
like asking questions, and the reason why is because the
fund begins when you start researching for answers such as,
what is up with two former members of Kiss? Why
are they charging unheard of amounts of money for their
latest works of music art? Does this truly separate the
consumer from the collector? My name is Erro. I'm a
(00:44):
daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines,
so do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I
happen to call it the daily Mess, a chronological walk
through an everyday world. Yeah, this is what I was
writing this morning. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas.
We as people to into thrill things to the side
because we think we're going to deal with it later on.
(01:04):
When a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
but by doing the research the picture becomes clearer. This
is the daily mess. This has got to be clickbait.
But then again, I don't think it is. Is it
a bad deal for fans of music who are really
(01:27):
into buying things that belong to a chunk of their
past or something that's going to grow in their future.
The subject we're talking about is Peter Chris and Vinnie Vincent,
who are charging an astronomical amount of money for their
latest works of art. And as a former member of
the Kiss Army, I was extremely excited to see as
well as here that the drummer as well as the guitarist,
(01:50):
we're actually releasing brand new collections of music. Here's where
things go really wrong. But first let's identify the right.
Peter Cris, his pre promotion for his brand new album
was unbelievably amazing in the way of generating the kind
of talk that used to be with when a band
(02:10):
comes out with a brand new album. And then came
the cost one thousand dollars Now, according to upper decision makers,
this move was planted on the website band camp because
the label Flatter Run Recordings set it extremely high to
discourage digital purchases, which I totally understand. They wanted the
(02:33):
music to be in the hands of who the fans
of Peter Chris Well. Peter Chris denies he had set
this price and is fiercely apologizing for the confusion. This
wasn't him, The record label did set free a note.
That's trying to explain their version of the story, only
(02:54):
to have it backfire on him. So is it available?
What they say it is? Thirty two ninety eight for
the fin and fourteen ninety eight on CD. Where I
purchased my music from is Amazon? I didn't see it
going to iTunes. Isn't that digital? And doesn't that go
against what flatteron Recordings was trying to do? They were
trying to discourage digital purchases. Huh. The vinyl once again
(03:18):
is thirty two ninety eight if you can find it,
and fourteen ninety eight on compact disc. Ban Camp has
asked the label to remove that thousand dollars price tag. Hey,
coming up next, Peter Cris of Kiss isn't the only
one pulling something like this off. In fact, it wasn't him,
it was his label. So what's up with Vinnie Vincent?
(03:42):
Thanks for coming back to the Daily Mess. Now that
the Peter Cris one thousand dollars price tag is being
worked on, what about Vinnie Vincent's new album and song collection,
because it seems to be penetrating a lot of headlines
as well. The new song from the legendary guitarist is
Ride This Serpent. The album is titled Judgment Day Guitarmageddon.
(04:04):
Two hundred dollars for a signed limited edition plus a
twenty five dollars shipping fee one hundred dollars if you're
out of the country if you want the first single,
not the album. The single is two hundred dollars. But
but but but but But There is a catch. Nobody
gets it until one thousand orders have been placed. It's
(04:27):
been booked as being a very limited collector's edition, which
to many in the rock memorabilia business, they don't see
that as being limited. It's a thousand copies. But should
fans of the music be upset with that thousand dollars
price tag for Peter Cris's album and two hundred dollars
for Vinni vincent single. Being a fan of Kiss and
(04:47):
a collector of many many memorabilia items, I know what
I've paid over the past fifty years when it comes
to collecting things, so it didn't stick or shock me.
But it was very disappointing as a f fan of music,
one who has purchased thousands, if not millions, of dollars
of singles, and it's like, Okay, I used to pay
(05:08):
only seventy five cents for forty five and now you're
asking for two hundred. But it's a limited edition. All
of a sudden, the fan inside of me is going,
do you know what that means? I still have the
k History book. It is unopened in the box that
it came in because I just want to believe what
(05:29):
they said in the advertising without opening it up and
realizing I was wronged. But was I I don't know
until somebody else beyond me opens that box. The goal
was to help block pirrating entities from latching onto the single,
which protects the fans from promotions of pirrating. Vinnie is
(05:51):
convinced that his work of art will be loved immediately
and feels that if the pirates get their hands on
it first, then it no longer belongs to him. He
openly admits that he is honored by the price if
the music doesn't reach one thousand sales. They're saying you'll
get your money back. Sort of makes you wonder what
he's charging for live concert ticket prices. We'll keep you posted.
(06:14):
I'm Arrow, and that's the daily mess.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
