Happy Holidays!

The show that talks about stuff on purpose has returned with a brand-new episode where we discuss an album that was released in 2019! Remember 2019? Those innocent days before a pandemic that broke the world and drove half of us insane. Orville Peck, everybody's favorite mask-wearing surrealist neo-country artist, released his debut album, Pony, back in 2019, and six years later we're finally talking about it.

To be fair, TRAPPO didn't exist back in 2019, so discussing Pony when it was originally released was technically impossible. On this chilly December day, TRAPPO corrects that cosmic error as we have a lively discussion regarding the work of Orville Peck, Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, Mutant Disco, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Enjoy it if you can.

(There are some annoying audio issues with this recording that cannot be corrected, so be warned)

On this very special episode of Good, Great or Garbage, Dustin & Ky take a closer look at nearly two dozen recent releases, some suggested by listeners, and others suggested by one another, in this rapid fire new music extravaganza! It's a veritable cornucopia of exciting new musical delights for your discerning palates! But that's not the best part, dear listeners. Your intrepid hosts deadlocked on six of these records, meaning they couldn't come to a unanimous decision as to whether or not these releases belonged in the illustrious TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on. So that means it's up to you to cast the deciding votes! Just follow this link to the official poll and decide the fates of the six albums that didn't make the cut! The poll will remain open for the next two weeks and will close on October 7, which is plenty of time for you to listen to all the nominated works and make an informed decision. Links to all the nominated albums are on the blog, so get to work!

This also marks the end of our first complete season, and that's a pretty big deal for us! We never thought we'd make it this far, and we certainly wouldn't have without your support, dear listeners! Thank you so much for all of your insightful comments and emails, which have really given us incentive to keep making the show that talks about stuff on purpose! And we need you to keep it up, so head on over to the official TRAPPO blog and leave us some more comments! Tell us what you think about the first season now that it's in the can, and leave us plenty of suggestions for future topics while you're there! And if you're feeling a bit more verbose, we always appreciate a friendly email! We're also on Instagram and Twitter for all you die-hard fans who just can't get enough TRAPPO !

Thanks for listening, thanks for voting, and we'll see you for season two on October 7th!

Join the conversation by dropping by our official blog and leaving a comment, or you can send us an email if you'd like, and we may address your comments in a future episode! If you still can't get enough TRAPPO in your life, you're always welcome to find us on Instagram and Twitter if you'd like to harass us all across social media! Thanks for listening, and we'll see you for part two next week!

Good, Great or Garbage month continues here on the show that talks about stuff on purpose as we discuss 2021's self-titled fourth album from American indie folk band Florist. Is it good? Is it great? Is it... garbage? Here's the kicker, dear listener... you get to decide! That's right! We're leaving the final decision up to you, so visit the official TRAPPO blog and cast your vote today! The poll closes next Friday and the results will be shared at the beginning of our next episode, so get voting!

Our Essential Albums season premiere went into overtime! We just didn't have enough time to share all of our essential album picks with you, dear listener, necessitating the creation of this extended addendum for your listening pleasure. So what are our final essential picks? 1998's self-titled debut album from desert rockers Queens of the Stone Age and 1987's Never Let Me Down From David Bowie. Hear us talk about these two beloved albums for a long time by listening to this exciting new episode at your leisure.

Next week we'll kick off our spooky season celebration with a very special episode of TRAPPO's Old Music Showcase! Thanks for listening!

Welcome to the first edition of our brand-new... I don't know what we're supposed to call this thing. A "sub-series"? Is that correct? We'll just go along with that. So welcome, dear listener, to the first edition of what will hopefully become a long-running sub-series here at TRAPPO: The New Music Showcase! Now what, you may well be asking, is The New Music Showcase? Why, it's an earnest attempt from us here at the show that talks about stuff on purpose to inform you, dear listener, of some recently released music. That's pretty much it. We listen to new music, we chat about it for a few minutes to provide you with a little context, then we ask you to listen to it and get back to us with your informed opinions. It's that easy! This first episode of The New Music Showcase is all about Swedish artist Fever Ray's latest release, Radical Romantics, so give it a listen!

And if you want to listen to Radical Romantics, just click here!

By the way, we're also asking you to vote in a poll. Here's the way this process would unfurl in an ideal world: you listen to this latest episode, then you listen to Radical Romantics, then you make an informed decision in the poll you'll find at this link! The question, of course, remains: Does Radical Romantics by Fever Ray belong in the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on? The fate of this record is entirely in your hands, dear listener! So vote with your heart. Voting will remain open until our next episode goes live, whenever that happens to be.

Once again, visit this link to vote in our latest poll! Which link? This link! Click this text! Not this text. This text!

While we've got your attention, why don't you leave a comment on the official TRAPPO blog telling us what you think of Fever Ray's Radical Romantics in excruciating detail? Don't hold back. We want your honest opinions. Do you enjoy this record? Do you think it's a reeking pile of garbage? Tell us what's on your mind! And you can also tell us what you think of this fledgling "sub-series" while you're typing your lives away if you're in the proper mood. We love your feedback.

Speaking of feedback: please, for the love of all things sacred, if you are reading this text, send us an email! We've grown truly desperate as of late, and we need somebody, anybody, to validate our online existence with an email. It's trapposhow@gmail.com, by the way. Send us an email, even if you just want to spend a few minutes calling us sad losers who wouldn't know how to make an entertaining podcast if our pathetic lives depended on it. Engagement is engagement, after all, and beggars can't be choosers.

Thanks for listening, thanks for voting, and we'll see you next time!

On this very special episode of the show that talks about stuff on purpose, we're taking a closer look at four classic albums suggested by a dear listener (and current blog contributor) Mack! These four albums (Transformer by Lou Reed, The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance, Big Science by Laurie Anderson, and Nina Hagen In Ekstasy by Nina Hagen) are all worthy of discussion, so we've devoted this entire double-sized episode to that very purpose! It's a four-in-one jamboree, so get comfortable and join us on this musical odyssey!

While you're here, why not join the conversation? Leave a comment on our official blog HERE, send us an email HERE, or find us on Instagram and tell us what you thought about this latest episode! What did you think of Mack's picks? What would you like to see join the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on? Your feedback could be featured on a future episode!

Thanks for listening!

The episode you're listening to is not a review of 2022's Forgiveness by synthpop duo Girlpool. You may think it is at first glance, but we assure you that's not what this is. Sure, we may discuss Forgiveness for a few minutes, but that hardly qualifies as a review. We also discuss Allegoria, the feature film debut from hard rock musician-turned-filmmaker Spider One, who is also the younger brother of Rob Zombie. Allegoria is currently streaming on SHUDDER. But we don't review Allegoria, either. 

Maybe you'd like to join the conversation, even though there is no conversation to be joined here since we don't review Forgiveness by Girlpool in this episode. But you can tell us what you don't think about Forgiveness if that gets you off. We don't kink shame. Just visit the official TRAPPO blog and leave us a comment. Or don't. It doesn't matter. You can also send us an email if you feel like wasting a little more of your time, which we always appreciate. We're also on Twitter and Instagram, even though we know you don't care about any of that. But we have to do the call to action at the end of the description, because we have to keep up this charade that we're a "real" podcast with an audience who actually wants to follow us on social media and keep up with our comings and goings, even though we know that you're not really reading any of this because you don't really exist.

Thanks for listening?

We're back with a brand-new episode of the show that talks about stuff on purpose! This week, we're concluding our two-part listener poll results discussion with a closer look at 2019's All Mirrors by Angel Olsen, as well as 2020's companion release Whole New Mess. We had a lot of fun talking about these two records, and we think you'll have a good time learning a little more about them. 

Join the conversation! Leave a comment on the official TRAPPO blog telling us what you think of All Mirrors, and don't forget to suggest topics for future episodes while you're at it! And if you're feeling more verbose, sending a friendly email is always appreciated. And of course, you can follow our official Instagram feed if you're looking for the complete TRAPPO experience. We're also on Twitter, but nobody follows us there, so don't worry about it. 

Sincere thanks to everybody for voting in our poll! Be on the lookout for additional polls in the near future! And thanks for listening!

Welcome back to the show that talks about stuff on purpose! This time around, we're seeing double! Not content to tackle either an EP Exchange or a movie review, we've decided to mix things up and do both, because we're completely out of control! In this episode, we're discussing the 2018 self-titled debut from electro-punk outfit The C.I.A. and the soulful 2021 EP Bloodline from Gabriels. But that's not all! We're also talking about writer/director/actor Shinichi Fukazawa's underground 1995 cult hit Bloody Muscle Body Builder In Hell, A.K.A. "Japanese Evil Dead"! Pretty exciting stuff, kids!

Join the conversation! What conversation? Why, the conversation that's going on right now, this very moment, on the official TRAPPO blog. Follow this link and tell us what's on your mind. Do you have thoughts about the stuff we discussed in this latest episode? Maybe you want to share your thoughts regarding the ongoing implosion of the Hollywood studio system.

Thanks for listening!

Albums discussed include Colorblind by Silvi Luv, Honeybee Table At The Butterfly Feast by teen suicide, GHOSTS ON TAPE by Blood Red Shoes, Second Line by Dawn Richard, Night Walker / Death Waltz by Ghost Funk Orchestra, and The Resurrection Of Lilith by Defacing God.

(Programming note: there will be no new episode next week, as TRAPPO is taking the Thanksgiving holiday off for a change. We'll be back with a brand-new episode on Friday, December 6th.)

Welcome back to the show that talks about stuff on purpose! Since we got such a great response from last week's New Music Showcase [UM}, we've decided to do it all over again with a new New Music Showcase! This week, we're talking about a... heavy folk metal... band from Tyrol, Austria called Perchta, and their latest release, "D'Muata"! It's something special, kids, and we hope you enjoy listening to this music at least twice as much as we enjoyed talking about it!

If you'd like to listen to "D'Muata", by the way, you can CLICK HERE to check out their Bandcamp page, which you should. It's always important to support the artists you love.

Since this is a New Music Showcase, that means there's an obligatory poll over on our official blog. CLICK HERE to visit the blog and vote in that poll, if you're feeling frisky. The fate of "D'Muata" is in your hands! Do you think this album belongs in the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on? You get to decide!

Everybody's heard of I Put A Spell On You, the immortal Halloween classic tune, but how much do you know about the performer behind the music? On this very spooky episode of TRAPPO's Old Music Showcase, we're taking a closer look at the man behind the music, the one and only Screamin' Jay Hawkins. So if you're ready for an unhinged history lesson, you've come to the right place!

The episode you're about to hear began as an attempt to record a pair of New Music Showcase episodes... but that's not what it became. We started out trying to have a discussion about Darvid Thor's In The Space You Carry and Nox Novacula's Feed The Fire, but the recording was an unmitigated failure. Not due to the music we chose, but due to our own very human failings.

In an attempt to salvage the recording, something new emerged. Some new and horrifying thing that defies easy classification. It's almost an hour long, and it will test your patience as well as your sanity. Hey, it's the end of the season. What else did you expect?

You can decide the fate of these two albums, dear listener. Just CLICK THIS LINK to visit the official TRAPPO blog and vote in the poll! What poll? The New Music Showcase poll! Do you think these albums belong in the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on? That's up to you, kids. So vote. While you're there, leave a comment if you'd like. Tell us how terrible this episode truly is. Or you could send us an email. CLICK HERE to do that.

If you'd like to listen to Darvid Thor's In The Space You Carry, then CLICK HERE to visit his Bandcamp. If you'd like to listen to Nox Novacula's Feed The Fire, then CLICK HERE to visit their Bandcamp. They would surely appreciate your patronage.

We've started a Substack, which is apparently a popular thing, so we're happy to jump on this bandwagon. It's called The TRAPPO Town Gazette, and new editions drop each Wednesday. CLICK HERE to visit and subscribe. It's free, and worth it!

We're also on Threads, so if you'd like to follow us there, just CLICK HERE and we'll have a good time. We'll have a time, at least. I suppose promising anything approaching "good" would be irresponsible.

Thanks for whatever. Season four starts next week.

Due to popular demand, TRAPPO Arthouse has returned! This time, we're taking a closer look at 1986's surreal Sleepwalk, directed by Sara Driver. If you're interested in checking the movie out for yourself, you can currently stream Sleepwalk on the Criterion Channel.
