Midyear Music Roundup

Metalhead Lasso is back with more promising, pragmatic punkadelism. This week it's a biblical freestyle on this year's new punkadelic music releases, clocking in at a whopping 75+ minutes. I let rip on every release on my radar for 2022, across a very wide range of subgenres and scenes. I tried hard also to make sure you understood how these albums relate to the wider sweep of each bands career, subgenre and scene giving brief but inimitable histories where appropriate. My brief history of Megadeth may have become a long history of megadeth but them's the breaks. Hear also about the emergence of the sleaze rock scene in Sweden in the 90s, the very best live album you'll hear this year and all the major players in hard rock, heavy metal and hardcore punk's new studio records. It takes a while but you'll find something in there to get excited about! There was time also to get hardcore into the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe including one huge, ginormous, entire paradigm shifting fan theory about Phase 4 that changes how we look at every entry in that phase and hints at the conflicts to come. I get my comic nerd on here in a big way. And then you already know how we close the show, with the best segment in podcasting: Walloper Watch. This iteration features flashlight losers, the loneliest guy in bangladesh and our favourite columnist from the Guardian is bemoaning that her children aren't birds, or something, it's getting less and less clear that she actually has a firm grasp on what she's writing. Or reality for that matter. The Playlist Peace. Love. Punkadelic.
