TRAPPO!

(This episode has been re-edited & re-uploaded because I dared to use five seconds of Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" as a musical punchline. That's absolutely fair use, but Spotify is a fucking bully prick who enjoys kicking sand in my dumb nerd face, so now everything has to suck. You're welcome.)

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!

Okay, maybe we are playing favorites, but only just a little. 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.
