We're hip-deep into spooky season, so let's keep the spooky ball rolling with more spooky music here on the show that talks about spooky stuff on purpose! Last week, we delivered the Spooky Old Music Showcase, and this week, it's the... the Spooky Music Showcase! We were going to call it the Spooky New Music Showcase, but one of the albums we chose was released in the 1980s, so we had to drop the "New". So it's just TRAPPO's Spooky Music Showcase.
The four albums we're showcasing on this spooky episode are 2024's BODY HORROR from Turkish/Swedish hauntwave artist Aux Animaux, 2018's IN THE FRIGHTFUL GAZE OF THE PUMPKIN WITCH from Halloween synth trinity Pumpkin Witch, 2024's giallo-inspired A ROSE IN THE GARDEN OF WINTER from Dream Division, and 1982's HOMOTOPY TO MARIE from experimental legend Nurse With Wound. It's a whole bunch of spooky music that you need to check out this Halloween season. It will enrich your lives. In a spooky way.
There's a spooky poll down at the official TRAPPO blog, so CLICK HERE to check that out and vote on these albums. Are they spooky enough to be inducted into the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on? Make your choice, dear listener! While you're there, leave some comments. Tell us what's on your mind. What's your go-to spooky music for the season? Let us know! You can also send us those comments in a spooky email if you're into that. CLICK HERE to do just that, and we'll be your friends for your life.
We're also on Threads, so CLICK HERE to follow us there and we'll probably follow you back. And we've got our own newsletter on Substack, and we'd love it if you checked that out. It's called The TRAPPO Town Gazette, and you can CLICK HERE to subscribe (for free) and you'll get spooky new editions in your inbox every Wednesday, which is a pretty good deal.
More spooky stuff to come, so thanks for listening!
SPOOKY!

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!
What do you think about Screamin' Jay Hawkins and his music? Tell us what's on your mind by CLICKING HERE to leave a comment on our official blog, or CLICK HERE to send those thoughts in a haunted email, which we would definitely appreciate.

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.
What are your essential albums? Tell us all about it! CLICK HERE to visit the official TRAPPO blog and tell us in a comment, or CLICK HERE to send us those thoughts in an email, which we would certainly appreciate.

The show that talks about stuff on purpose is back with our premiere episode of season four! Can you believe TRAPPO's fourth season is here? We can't! Anyhow, if it's our season premiere, then that must mean it's time for our latest Essential Albums episode. What is that, you may be asking? It's a simple enough premise. The two hosts of TRAPPO each choose a handful of albums (new, old, whatever) that they consider "essential", and those albums are inducted into the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on. What it the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on, you may be asking? That's the giant cannon we're constructing at an undisclosed location in the high desert, which we will one day load with all the coolest pop culture ephemera this rotten world has to offer, then we'll blast it into outer space for enlightened extraterrestrials to enjoy. So pretty standard stuff, really.
What essential albums have we chosen for induction this year? You'll have to listen to find out. That's the deal, kids. Would you like to share some of your essential albums with us? It's easy to do! Just follow THIS LINK to the official TRAPPO blog and leave a comment. Tell us what's on your mind. You can also share your essential album picks with us in an email by CLICKING HERE if you're feeling a bit more verbose. We're also on Threads, so CLICK HERE to follow us there, and we'll probably follow you back. We also have a Substack, if that's the sort of thing that floats your boat. CLICK HERE to subscribe to The TRAPPO Town Gazette for free and you'll get new editions in your inbox every Wednesday. That's a pretty good deal. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to the season three finale of the show that talks about stuff on purpose! And this is a very special episode, dear listener.
Very, very, very special.
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.

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.

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. TRAPPO is also on social media, so follow us on Threads (CLICK HERE) and we'll have a blast shit-posting until the cows come home, whenever that may be.

We're back with another dose of fresh new music for your big, dumb ears! This time around, we're presenting you with Great Haunting, the sophomore album from Kiwi Goth rockers Earth Tongue! Is it worth your precious and valuable time? Tune in to find out, dear listener!
But the answer is "yes".
Join the conversation! Tell us what you think of Earth Tongue's cool music! Maybe recommend some cool new music to us! That would be cool. Just visit the official TRAPPO blog (CLICK HERE) and leave us some comments! You could also share your thoughts in a badass email (CLICK HERE) if you're feeling a bit more verbose, which is always appreciated.

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!

Whatever's on your mind. You could also send us an email (CLICK HERE) if you're feeling particularly frisky, so that would be cool.
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.

TRAPPO's Mail Bag is back! It's the show that talks about you on purpose, and this is the fabulous thirty-second instalment!
This time, we're assaulted with a series of bizarre anonymous comments that may or may not have been written by a brain-damaged wizard, there's a little "Deadly Dan" fallout, some eclectic music recommendations are made, TRAPPO sucks, we don't discuss the music of Taylor Swift, extreme examples of abstinence are debated, the ghost of Babe Ruth haunts us all once again, we ramble about assorted chocolates, and a whole bunch of other stuff is also mentioned. You should listen to it.
Join the conversation! Tell us what you think about all the latest new music releases or whatever! Have you seen any good movies? Maybe you should tell us all about those, as well! We like recipes! Share some with us! Please?! Go to the official TRAPPO blog (CLICK HERE) and leave a thousand comments! There's really no limit, so you could actually leave a thousand comments if you were so inclined. You could also send us an email if that's more your style. Bimmy, you could send us an email. Perhaps you should send us an email sometime. We've been waiting all this time, after all. CLICK HERE to do that. You don't have to be Bimmy to send us an email, but it helps.
We're also on social media. Barely. So if you'd like to jump on this sinking ship, feel free to follow us on Threads (CLICK) and Instagram (CLICK) and we'll all sing song and tell spooky stories around the campfire while the world around us slowly dies! It'll be fun!

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.

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.
