TRAPPO!The New Music Extravaganza! (Rapid Fire Edition) [Re-Upload](This episode has been re-edited & re-uploaded because Spotify has chosen to ignore that Fair Use is a real thing, but I don't have a team of lawyers and limitless resources to spend in a protracted legal battle against a monolithic tech corporation, so instead I've been forced to capitulate to the wretched demands of this platform and cut this episode to ribbons. That's about all there is to it. Welcome to hell, kids!)On this very special episode of Good, Great or Garbage, Dustin & Ky take a closer look at nearly two dozen recent releases, some suggested...

Thanks for kicking me in my fucking teeth!)This week on the show that talks about stuff on purpose, we try to get to the bottom of this whole "shoegaze" thing. What is it exactly? What was it?

TRAPPO!Essential Albums LIGHTNING ROUND! (Re-Upload)(This episode has been re-edited & re-uploaded because Spotify is a petty little bitch that doesn't understand what Fair Use is and is inexplicably trying to destroy this podcast that statistically speaking nobody listens to, anyway. It doesn't make any rational sense, but the actions of a soulless mega-corporation don't have to make any sense to the little people they enjoy crushing underfoot.

2023-09-0946 minTRAPPO!TRAPPO Investigates... "The Black Gaze Connection"The horrible glory of TRAPPO's BLACK SUMMER continues unabated with a deep dive on the "Black Gaze" phenomenon with a brand-new episode of TRAPPO Investigates. Once upon a time, we began a new series here called TRAPPO Investigates with an episode called "What Is Shoegaze", and just about everybody who listened to that particular episode had something negative to say about it. Apparently we just didn't do a very good job of investigating "Shoegaze", and listeners were pretty eager to let us know. That was back in January, and we're finally following up with our second installment of this...

This episode addresses a whole bunch (like a lot) of listener comments relating to Black Metal and... other things that will not be mentioned here. It's a real journey, folks. Let's just leave it at that.
This is just the beginning, as TRAPPO is dedicating the entire month of August to Black Metal in a feature we've cleverly dubbed BLACK SUMMER!

We discuss the classic film It's A Wonderful Life, our favorite adaptations of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, stuff that didn't make the final cut of our KTRP Christmas special, the music of an obscure nu-metal outfit called September Mourning, the films of late director Stuart Gordon, a brief interlude with the iconic...

In this delightful episode, we're gonna be blabbing about a "movie" that has taken the hipster horror world by storm! It's 2022's Skinamarink, which is a very awkward title to say out loud! Just go ahead and say it out loud a few times right now. Marvel at how the word utterly fails to roll off the tongue! And no, we're not talking about Skinnamarink, the song from Sharon, Lois & Bram. Actually, that's not true. We do, in fact, discuss the Sharon, Lois & Bram song a little bit...

This particular episode is all about Halloween! We know it's a little early for some, but we have a good excuse, because this episode deals with a bunch of feedback from our series of Halloween-related shows. Do you remember those? We discussed David Gordon Green's Halloween trilogy, last year's Hellraiser...

That's right, dear listener, this episode is all about the fallout from last September's Super-Controversial Live Action Batman Rankings episode, which got a surprising number of responses from some very passionate fans of The Dark Knight, and we finally decided to respond to them. Sure, it took us a while, but at least we're dismissive of your personal rankings, so that's cool, right? But we also talk about a bunch of other stuff, like British alt-rockers Wet Leg's self-titled debut album, and we...

This time around, we're reaching deep into TRAPPO's throbbing sack to discuss In This Moment, Talking Heads, the forgotten work of Jim Steinman, Stuart Gordon's cinematic adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's Dagon, misconceptions regarding Chrystabell's transcendent Midnight Star, and things wrap up with a very special surprise that we won't spoil here, but you're gonna love it.

This movie is really something special, and since it's that special time of year, we figure you dear listeners deserve a gift from your friends here at TRAPPO. This is it. Happy holidays.

And to celebrate this momentous occasion, we're keeping things light with a shorter episode. I know that's not terribly exciting for you, dear listener, but we weren't exactly keeping track of the numbers here. And let's be honest, is the 13th installment of anything really that big a deal? Anyway, this time around we're talking about legendary avant-garde jazz musician Miles Davis, deranged indie rock band Starcrawler, the possibility of a potential TRAPPO's Book Club, a deep dive into Chrystabell's transcendent Midnight Star (again), the blog is visited by...

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...
