Season Finale: The "Un-Skippable" Mix-Tape!

 


It's the second-season finale of TRAPPO, the show that talks about stuff on purpose! We made it, everybody. I don't know how, but we did it. This episode was supposed to be posted yesterday, by the way, but I was having internet issues at home and uploading the finale on time became unfortunately impossible. So it's a day late due to circumstances out of my control. I still apologize for the delay. But this monumental season finale of TRAPPO is something special, folks. It's been a little while since we curated one of our legendary mix-tapes, so we figured what better time than now to curate our greatest mix-tape yet? And thus, TRAPPO's "Un-Skippable" Mix-Tape was born.

What exactly does "un-skippable" mean, you may very well be asking. To answer your inane question, I ask you: what does the term "un-skippable" mean? Come on. Put on your thinking caps. It's a mix-tape of essential music, music that we... don't skip... if it comes up on "shuffle". Sounds simple enough, right? Well it isn't. We agonized over each track we included here. We wanted to do this right, dear listener. We felt a responsibility to ourselves, to each other, to you, and to posterity. After all, this music is going right into the illustrious TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on, which means it's gonna get blasted off into the cosmos one day for alien civilizations to discover and enjoy. That's a lot of pressure. What kind of playlist are we curating here? It's gotta be as good as it can possibly be. The aliens are counting on us. This playlist is going to represent the human race to galactic civilizations near and far. That's a big deal. A lot of difficult choices were made to get to this point, to create this perfect mix-tape of immaculate, "un-skippable" music. And now you get to hear us build this impossible tower of perfect music, track by track, on this, the season finale of TRAPPO. You're welcome.

You can (and will) listen below, or find TRAPPO on Apple, Google, RadioPublic, Pocket Casts, Spotify, Sporkify for Spoon-Casters, and Amazon, so choose your own adventure and join us on this monumental journey into the heart of musical nirvana...



Hey! There's a conversation happening right now. And it's all going down right underneath this text, in the comments section of this very blog. Guess what? We want you to take part in that conversation. Yeah. That's true. Why? Because you matter, dear listener. Your thoughts matter to us. So scroll down a bit and leave a comment. Tell us what you think about our "un-skippable" mix-tape, and share your own playlists of "un-skippable" music while you're at it. We'd love to see your choices, if for no other reason than to harshly judge your questionable taste in music. Are you brave enough to let TRAPPO trash your musical sacred cows? Then leave that comment below. Or... if you're feeling especially verbose, you could always share that playlist via email. Our email address is trapposhow@gmail.com, so do what you gotta do. We know you use email all the time. So blast one of those electronic missives our way some time. We always appreciate those. And we always appreciate you, dear listener.

That's it for season two, I guess. I can't believe we made it this far. Thanks for listening, thanks for helping us cross the finish line with season two, and be sure to join us this October for season three. That's right, folks. This crazy train hasn't jumped the tracks just yet. We're gonna keep this party rolling until we go careening off a cliff into the bowels of hell, itself. Until next time...

LONG LIVE TRAPPO!

  1. Too bad it's not the series finale.

  2. What’s going on with the opening of this episode? Summoning demons and boredom and insulting your audience? That’s a weird way to hook listeners, dudes. Congratulations on two seasons of TRAPPO, I guess.

    Never change, TRAPPO.

  4. It’s a pretty good playlist, I suppose. I haven’t heard of a few of the songs, but they sound alright. Maybe not all of this is music I know and love, but it’s fine. I gotta be honest and say I’m not really getting all the alien sex stuff. It sounds like it might be a running joke, so I might be missing some context. Either way, congrats on two seasons of your podcast.

    I don’t have the time or energy to type out a playlist here. But if I did, your puny minds would be blown out your dick holes. You couldn’t handle my playlist, grandpa and other grandpa. Your so-called “unskippable” mixtape (old dusty bastards) is some bush league easy listening crap. Not one Steely Dan song? I don’t even know who that is. And you don’t even know who I am.

    Listen to some modern music, or maybe you shouldn’t, because the excitement might turn your fragile old bones to dust, then you’ll be in trouble. Check out Ice Spice or Chance the Rapper. They’re more mainstream and safe but still pretty good. You probably won’t have to change your diapers after listening to them.

    TRAPPO is on life support. Pull the fucking plug!

  6. Riddle me this, TRAPPO!

    What brings the day to a close,
    With colors of gold and rose?

    What paints the sky with hues so bright,
    A dazzling sight?

    What's the end of a long day,
    When the sun fades away?

    Answer my fiendish riddle correctly and your show might live to see another dawn! Answer incorrectly, and well... let's just say whatever's left of your podcast will only be suitable for a closed-casket funeral! Tah-tah for now, do-gooders!

  7. I haven't heard most of the music on your mixtape, so I've got some stuff to check out, and thanks for that. Here's a playlist I have on my phone for when I go jogging. I tend to keep refreshing my list three or four times a year, so there's nothing more than a year old here, but it's all on my list because it gets me motivated and I never skip any of it. I mostly only listen to music when I'm jogging or walking, because I spend most of my free time reading. When I read, I listen to random classical music playlists on Amazon, because lyrics just distract me. So this is what I have to offer. Here's my unskippable playlist.
    -Tainted Love from Broken Peach
    -People Are Strange from The Dead South
    -The Damned by Plasmatics
    -Do It So Good by WARGASM
    -Drugs From Amsterdam by Mau P
    -Robert Hansen by SKYND
    -Madeline by Kiki Rockwell
    -Mama's Eyes by Mette
    -Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl by Chappell Roan
    -Freak Mode by Dorian Electra
    -Crumbs by Rebecca Black
    -Kitty Girl (Nitroverts Remix) by ODDKO
    -Forbidden Zone by Dogma
    -Panic by Yonaka
    -Devil by Delilah Bon

  9. Bob Marley and Bill Withers and Cat Stevens? Now that's a fucking mixtape! After we're done listening to this, can you tell us more stories about the Great Depression, grandpa?
