TRAPPO!

We're opening up TRAPPO's Mail bag once again to address listener feedback! This time around, we're talking about Lyra Pramuk's Fountain, the void in our popular culture with the loss of legendary composer Jim Steinman, the tantalizing connection between delicious French Silk pies and Chrystabell's Midnight Star, robots and their inherent incompatibility with water, the many, many problems with 2020's Castle Freak, and so much more! Actually, that's pretty much it. The second half of the episode is almost entirely dealing with 2020's Castle Freak and its myriad issues. Fair warning.

Join the discussion! Leave us a comment on the official TRAPPO blog and suggest topics for future episodes! You could also send us a groovy email if you're feeling more verbose. And don't forget to follow us on Instagram and Twitter for the complete TRAPPO experience. We always appreciate your feedback.

It's time for a debate! We here at TRAPPO, the show that talks about stuff on purpose, have noticed you dear listeners have been asking us to talk about 2014's Black Widow from alt-metal superstars In This Moment for a while now, and we've finally gotten off our lazy butts and done just that! But we couldn't just handle this particular subject with a standard "spotlight" episode. No, the passion among you all is too big for something so limited. We needed to figure out a way to give you dear listeners the final word, while also keeping things fun for ourselves, so we've decided to hold our first ever TRAPPO Debate! On this very special episode, Dustin has taken the pro-Black Widow stance and Ky has taken the anti-Black Widow position, and we each make our case either for or against the album's inclusion in the illustrious TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on, but the final decision isn't up to us, friends, because you get to choose whose argument reigns supreme! Just follow this link to our official poll and cast your vote today! Do you think Dustin's pro argument won the day, or were you swayed by Ky's con assertion? Vote now and let your voice be heard! 

The poll will be open until Friday, August 26th at 3:01 PM Central Daylight Time, so don't delay!

Join the discussion! Tell us what you think about In This Moment's Black Widow on the official TRAPPO blog, and while you're there we always appreciate suggesting topics for future episodes! Who knows? Your suggestion might just become the subject of our next debate! Of course if you're feeling more verbose, sending a lovely email is always an option. And don't forget to follow us on Instagram and Twitter for the complete TRAPPO experience! 

Thanks for listening, and thanks for voting!

On this week's episode, we're revealing the results of our recent poll, which gave you dear listeners the choice to pick the next record we discuss! And you apparently couldn't decide on just one, so you picked two! That's right, the final poll results were a tie between 2017's Masseduction by St. Vincent (AKA Annie Clark) and 2019's All Mirrors by Angel Olsen. So we decided to talk about both landmark musical works... just not on the same episode. No, we believe that both records deserve their own time to shine in TRAPPO's garden, so we're covering Masseduction this week, and All Mirrors next week. That's twice the bang for your imaginary buck, since this stuff is all free, and that's a pretty good deal! And the deal gets even better, because we've chosen to discuss St. Vincent's 2018 follow-up MassEducation, as well. You can't beat that value, dear listeners! So enjoy our lively St. Vincent discussion this time, and next time get ready for an all-Angel Olsen spectacular!

Join the conversation! Leave a comment on our official TRAPPO blog and tell us what you think of Masseduction, and while you're at it you can suggest topics for future episodes! And if you're feeling more verbose, emails are always welcome. And of course you can always follow us on Instagram for the complete TRAPPO experience. Thanks for listening, and we'll see you next week!

We're back with another round of listener feedback! That's right kids, it's time for TRAPPO's Mail Bag! This week, we're talking about Neil Marshall's The Reckoning, Madonna's Ray Of Light, the career of "Weird Al" Yankovic, including what may be his magnum opus, "Dare To Be Stupid", the techno madness of Wanton Witch,  Tank Girl, the Howard The Duck movie, the fake band Banjo & Sullivan from Rob Zombie's very real movie The Devil's Rejects, Zombie's upcoming The Munsters movie, the increasing ridiculousness of Zombie's continuing musical career, and a whole bunch of other Rob Zombie-related stuff, apparently, because that's just what this episode became. 

So give it a listen if you want, and if you'd like to join the conversation, please do! Leave a comment on the old TRAPPO blog and tell us what you'd like to hear us talk about next time. You could also send us an email if you're feeling more verbose, because we always appreciate a good email. And don't forget to follow us on Instagram for the complete TRAPPO experience!

It's a very special, super-sized episode of TRAPPO's Mail Bag! This particular episode was long thought to be lost through technical issues, but it has been recently unearthed and edited for your listening pleasure! In this episode, we discuss feedback related to our text review of Lyra Pramuk's Fountain, the recently released adult animated fantasy epic The Spine Of Night, whether or not plants like pop music, the career resurgence of Rebecca Black, the superiority of Perfect Dark over the classic Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64, Wendy O. Williams and her work with Plasmatics as well as the recent release of her trash masterpiece Reform School Girls on blu-ray, how we can all get along despite our differing opinions, and we wrap things up with an extended discussion regarding the work of legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick (with a lengthy Highlander diversion for good measure). Stay tuned 'til the end for a quick update on the future of TRAPPO!

On this very special Good, Great or Garbage double feature, we take a closer look at a pair of challenging and fascinating new albums from 2022: the self-titled debut from UK post-rock community Caroline, and Crease, the first full-length work from experimental Canadian artist Vicky Mettler under the moniker Kee Avil. You may recall a short time ago we hosted a poll for Crease on the blog, asking you listeners whether Kee Avil's formidable album deserved a place in the esteemed TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on, and the results are in! So does Crease make the cut? Is Caroline good enough for the Can(n)on? Tune in to find out!

Join the conversation! Just visit the official TRAPPO blog and leave a comment! Tell us what you think of these albums, what you think of the show in general, and suggest topics for future episodes! Crease was actually suggested by a listener on the blog not too long ago, so we actually do take your suggestions very seriously. You can also send us an email if you're feeling a bit more verbose, which we always appreciate. Your feedback may be featured on a future episode of the show!
