The Merrill Strand Experience! (Poll Closed)

 

(The poll is now closed, and I'm happy to inform you, dear listener, that both Bestial Mouths' R.O.T.T. (inmyskin) and 24 from Minuit Machine have officially been inducted into the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on! That's exciting, right? -D)

It's finally here! The long-awaited response to an email we received back in October of 2023 has finally arrived! Our good friend Merrill Strand was kind enough to write a well thought out email that recommended thirteen albums for our listening pleasure, and we didn't actually get around to responding to Merrill's lovely correspondence until January, and now, at long last, six entire months later, the actual episode, The Merrill Strand Experience is finished and here! So you're welcome, Merrill! We listened to all of the music you told us to listen to, and now we're going to talk about all of that music in this insanely long episode that we can't imagine anybody actually listening to the end! You can attempt to listen to our latest episode below, or find TRAPPO on Apple, RadioPublic, Pocket Casts, Spotify, Spotify Spotify, and Amazon, so choose your own adventure and join us on this exciting musical odyssey!

Hey! Did you check out this ridiculously long episode? It only happened because one of our awesome weirdo viewers dared to send us an email! Would you like us to dedicate an entire episode to your musical recommendations? Then leave a comment below! Tell us what's currently in heavy rotation on your music app(s) of choice. What's your essential music? We want to know. Leave a comment. Leave several comments. Or just roll the dice like Merrill and send us an email! Just direct that bloated correspondence to trapposhow@gmail.com and we might actually respond to it at some not too distant point in the future! Stranger things have happened!

We're also all over that social media thing. Just check us out on Threads and Instagram if you're interested. Join the shenanigans! Thread with the TRAPS on the 'gram at your leisure! Or don't. It's entirely up to you. We don't really mind either way. But you'd be a lot cooler if you followed us on Threads. The sun may shine a little brighter tomorrow because you've got TRAPPO in your social media lives. Unless it's cloudy where you live. Then I'm sorry, but that's not really our fault, so you can't blame us.

That's all for now. Thanks for the music, Mavis! And thanks for the toilet pic!

Much appreciated, Mavis!

Next Week: Spring-O-Ween!
