TRAPPO!

What exactly is this? Is it an episode of TRAPPO? Is it some kind of madcap experiment? Perhaps a commentary on the inherent banality of evil? Grace Jones is cool. Hulk Hogan is a terrible human being. Are we capable of caring for more than one person? What does Arnold Schwarzenegger's beard smell like? Have we summoned the ghost of Pauline Kael? I think we need to call everybody's favorite bio-exorcist. Frag grenades for days.

The madness & the mania just blew our 24-inch guns out!

Please visit the official TRAPPO blog (CLICK HERE) and leave us a comment. Tell us what you think of this... thing. Do you like this thing? Do you hate this thing? Would you like more things like this thing? Send us an email (CLICK HERE) and we'll tell you a secret that will shatter your reality. Follow us on Threads (CLICK HERE) and we'll have a great time sharing GIFs and misery until the sun explodes.

Is this the end of TRAPPO? Stay tuned.

We're trying something different this week on TRAPPO, dear listener. The idea was for each of your intrepid hosts to choose a random album that featured the word "devil", either in the album's name or in the name of the band itself, and then we'd discuss the two albums at length. The final result... well, it's not great. And that's being charitable. Basically don't listen to this episode. It's not worth your time. We would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the artists whose work we discuss in this episode, both Italy's The Devils and Hungary's The Devil's Trade, for such a low-energy effort. You deserve better.

Join the conversation, I guess? You can visit our official blog (CLICK HERE) and leave us a comment telling us how much this episode sucks and how much we suck and how we should just quit because we're the worst podcast ever made. Or you can send us those vitriolic thoughts in an email (CLICK HERE) and that would also be cool. Or follow us on Threads (CLICK HERE) and you can tell us how much we suck on social media, too. That's it. That's all we've got for now. This episode was an absolute failure, and we will try very hard to do better next time.

Thanks for listening?

TRAPPO's Old Music Showcase has returned at long last with a brand-new deep dive on some vintage music goodness! This time around, we're taking a closer look at the psychedelic rock movement from the 1960s by discussing a pair of also-rans that never quite found mainstream success in their time: 1967's self-titled debut album from Nirvana (the original UK Nirvana) and 1968's "Peak Impressions" from Boston, MA's The Freeborne. It's a wild ride, dear listener!

Join the conversation! Tell us what you think of old school psychedelic rock, share some of your favorite examples of the genre, or just tell us whatever else is on your mind. Direct those thoughts to our official blog (CLICK HERE) in the form of a lovely comment. Or you can send those thoughts to us via a sexy email (CLICK HERE), and we'll probably be your friend for life.

Thus the long-prophesied Danzig Chronicles begin.

That's right, kids. We're talking about DANZIG, 1988's debut album from Glenn Danzig's band Danzig. Is it any good? Has it stood the test of time? You'll need to listen to our scintillating analysis of the album to find out! So do that!

We're also on social media... kind of. We're on Threads. Sometimes. We're on Threads some of the time. So join us on Threads (CLICK HERE) and follow us and bask in our shit-posting glory until we inevitably get tired of pretending to be nice people and decide to shun social media entirely, deleting our Threads account and moving on with our miserable lives.

Thanks for listening, and God bless Glenn Danzig.

In an effort to raise the level of discourse among our dwindling listener base, TRAPPO recently subscribed to The Criterion Channel and are now periodically reviewing some of the amazing films showcased on said channel. We've begun this harrowing journey by discussing 1962's gonzo political drama(?) The World's Greatest Sinner, the brainchild of legendary unhinged character actor Timothy Carey.

Just head on over to the official TRAPPO blog (CLICK HERE) and tell us what you think of The World's Greatest Sinner, the life and work of Timothy Carey, or whatever else is on your mind.
